This scorebook was used to record games played by the Newton, Kansas baseball team in the early 1920s. Most of the games documented in the scorebook were played in 1922 by the Newton town team against opponents from other south central Kansas communities. However, the scorebook also includes two games from 1923 (the Newton town team versus the Monrovians, an African-American team from Wichita) and two games from 1924 (the minor league Newton Railroaders versus Southwestern League opponents from Eureka and Salina). The scorebook itself was published by the A.J. Reach Company, a large sporting goods manufacturing company.
