Description

San Francisco Daily Evening Bulletin July 6, 1870: "Utah--Corinne, July 5th... In a match game of base ball played here yesterday, between the Corinne and Salt Lake City Clubs for the Championship of the Territory, the Corinthians were victorious by a score of 42 to 31." The Salt Lake team was probably the Enneas. The Naperville (IL) Clarion, July 20, 1870, mentions that an Aurora, IL boy, W. A. Hodgman, played for Corinne in this game.

Corinne UT (1890 pop. about 325) is about 60 miles N of Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City's 1870 pop. was about 12,800.

For more on early baseball in Corinne, see Gerlach, "The Best in the West? Corinne, Utah's First Baseball Champions" (Utah Historical Quarterly, 1984). He says the club organized in March 1870 and had its first game March 25th against the Pioneer BBC.

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.
