Hi-
I am in the process of reading Preston Orem's 1845-1881 baseball book, and it appears that more detailed box scores started appearing in newspapers in about 1867-68. Is this an accurate statement? Any other opinions on the possible age of this score sheet? Thanks in advance, Alan |

I've collected a few 19th century scorebooks going back as far as the 1860's and if I were to guess I'd put this sheet from the late 1860's. It seems that most "Muffin" teams that I have encountered were from the period shortly after the Civil War. The style of writing seems to fit there as well.

Your "Hoipwell" is actually "Hipwell". The flourish is still part of the H.
The second Pitt may actually be Petty.
