    ipdb.notes
    The earliest reference we have found for this game is in Billboard of December 1932. An article from Automatic Age magazine dated March 1933 indicating it was displayed at a trade show that year, and refers to the game as new. This would have been the Coin Machine Show held February 20-23, 1933 at the Sherman Hotel in Chicago. A similar game is Atlas Indicator's 1931 'Baseball'.
