In a nutshell -
In 1867, the Marquess of Queensberry in England, formulated new boxing rules named the "Queensberry Rules" which in some aspects still remain in place up till today. These set of rules introduced padded gloves in boxing, and rounds of three minutes, thereby creating the basis for modern boxing rules.
The oldest known rules for the game of Golf titled The “Articles and Laws in Playing at Golf” was written in 1744 for the members of the prestigious “Leith Links” which is an Edinburgh, Scotland based Company of Golfers, whose golfing club is amongst the oldest in history.

The modern game of tennis, which includes the current rules of the game, dates back to 1875 in London, England, when the Marylebone Cricket Club promulgated the official rules for lawn tennis.
In 1744, the Laws of Cricket were codified for the first time and then amended in 1774, when innovations such as lbw, middle stump and maximum bat width were added.
On June 19th 1846, The New York Knickerbockers played what is believed to be the first documented competitive baseball game under the new rules, also called the 'Knickerbocker rules' against major rivals called the New York Nine at Elysian Fields, Hoboken New Jersey.

It was created as a pastime indoor sport by a YMCA Physical education director named William G. Morgan, who himself was a graduate of the YMCA college in Springfield Massachusetts (The Birthplace of Basketball).
The modern sport of Rugby is widely known to have been established at the Rugby school in England, and a famous myth about its early origins dates back to the year 1823 when it is believed that a 16 year old rugby school student named William Webb Ellis “with a fine disregard for the rules of football, first took the ball in his arms and ran with it, thus originating the distinctive feature of the rugby game.”
