Description	The Chicago Inter Ocean, Aug. 28, 1877: "Downer's Grove has of late developed a vast amount of base ball talent" and recently beat the "Hoodlums" of Hinsdale. The young men have formally organized a club--the article gives the names of the players. This sounds like a new Downers Grove (modern spelling) club, formed after the demise of the Plowboys.
