In light of the recent analysis o Louisf Wadsworth in John Thorn’s writings & his being the Knick representative (one of three) to the NABBP Convention where the 9 inning Rule was enacted, it is interesting to note that he turns up as a player for the Gotham. He came & went regarding membership in the Knicks more than once. Extensive info on him in “Baseball in the Garden of Eden.”
