Excerpt from How to Play Cricket: A Manual for American Cricketers Now that we have a Cricketers' Association of the United States, some action should be taken looking to an improvement of the laws of cricket; or, if not that, to an authoritative interpreta tion of those at present accepted. We learn in the play of cricket, and from written treatises always English in their source - that the revision of the laws of cricket made in 1870 by the Marylebone Club of London, although an improvement on that previously made, is not what it should be, and that the laws as they now stand are very defective. Our brethren of the cricket field on the other side of the Atlantic seem to be nothing if not conservative, so that although the defective ness of the present code is fully admitted, the leading club stands fast by its love of 1870, and no revision has to this time been made.

Cricket in America achieved its greatest acclaim, most extensive organization and highest level of competition in Philadelphia in the mid-19th century. The city took upon itself the burden of representing the entire U.S. during the sport's emerging international popularity. It was a story of amazing successes, abysmal failures and engaging personalities--like John B. King, revered to this day as one of the all-time greatest players--and eventual decline and demise. This meticulously researched history examines the origin and rise of a sport's legacy that, even in its demise, would endure as a lost vision of America's sporting destiny.
