Franklins Vs. Niaticks



In a return game of baseball played between the Franklin and Niatick clubs, the former were victorious, by a score of 70 to 21.
-Missouri Republican, July 19, 1869


These are two clubs that I don't know much about.  The Niaticks (or Neaticks) are completely new to me while I only have one other mention of the Franklins, which comes from 1865.
