Unreferenced date February 2010 A knickerbocker glory is an ice cream sundae that is served in a large tall glass, particularly in the United Kingdom . The knickerbocker glory was first described in the 1930s and contains ice cream , gelatin dessert jelly , and cream. Layers of these different sweet tastes are alternated in a tall glass and topped with different kinds of syrup, nuts, whipped cream and often a cherry. Layers of meringue , fruit and even alcohol may be included but, as with an ice cream sundae , there is no precise recipe. The name knickerbocker glory is drawn from knickerbockers , a type of long trouser traditionally worn by young children but particularly young boys . Popik 2005 suggests though a British treat, the name knickerbocker is distinctively American and associated with early New York state and city histories. Before they were called New York, the state and city were Nieuw Amsterdam. They were settled by the Dutch in the 1600s and 1700s. The early settlers from Holland to New York were also called knickerbockers. How the name became connected to the sundae is not known.

HistBaseball nav The Knickerbocker Rules are a set of baseball rules formalized by Alexander Cartwright in 1845. They are considered to be the basis for the rules of the modern game. The rules Several of the rules are still around in some form today, while others are in direct contrast to current rules. A few of the more interesting examples are shown below. The list as presented, except for the commentary, is taken directly from the Rules as published in 1848 External links website below 4th . The bases shall be from home to second base , forty two paces from first base first to third base , forty two paces, equidistant. If a pace is taken to be 3 feet, that works out to convert 126 ft m 0 diagonally across the square that makes up the infield, or 89.1 feet between consecutive bases the corners of the square . The rules currently specify the same method for marking off the bases, only at 127 feet 3 3 8 inches, which works out to convert 90 ft m 0 between bases. 8th . The game to consist of twenty one counts, or aces but at the conclusion an equal number of hands must be played. These original terms are recognizably card game card playing jargon. The winner was the first team to score 21 aces now called runs , a cricket term , after an equal number of turns at bat or hands . This rule, in combination with Rule 15, determined the length of the game in general. The game is now defined to be a certain number of innings , another cricket term. In theory, a baseball game could be completed after just one inning, as long as one team scored the requisite 21 runs. The standard game length of nine innings was introduced in 1857. However, there are many circumstances in which baseball games, and variants such as softball , are shorter or longer than nine. 9th .
