The Library of Congress has a number of digitized Spalding Guides including a bunch of "Official Indoor Baseball Guides".

Base lines were between 28 and 35 ft long. The ball was 16 3/4 inches in diameter. The precursor of softball. The bat was 1 3/4th inches in diameter. Seven to nine players on a side.

Played in gymnasiums and National Guard Armories. Competed with basketball.
