"The fourth of June 1838 was a holiday in Canada. The Rebellion of 1837 had been closed by the victory of the Government over the rebels, and the birthday of His Majesty King George the fourth was set apart for general rejoicing.

The chief event at the village of Beachville, in the county of Oxford, was a baseball match between the Beachville Club and the Zorras." - Dr. Adam Enoch Ford
