Description	The Boston Herald, Aug. 1, 1860 reports that the Alpha Club of Ashland accepts the challenge of the Benicia of Milford to a game under the MA rules. The Boston Daily Advertiser, Sept. 17, 1866 reports on a meeting at the Parker House in Boston to form a MA Rules Baseball Association. The clubs sending delegates were the Alpha Club of Ashland, Excelsior of Upton, Wyoma of Lynn, Liberty of Danvers, Active of Salem, Wencehuse of Lynn, Union of Danvers, Warren of South Danvers, Warren of Randolph, Peabody of Danvers, and Kearsarge of Stoneham. This suggests that several localities resisted adopting the NY Rules even at this late a date. The Worcester Massachusetts Spy, July 6, 1859 has the Waverly of Framingham losing 102-75 to the Alpha of Ashland, in a game of 67 innings.

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know

Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
