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." Note--Corinne was the unofficial non-Mormon center of Utah. The Salt Lake team was probably the Enneas. The Salt Lake Herald, July 27, 1870, reports that 2500 people attended a baseball game in the city between the Enneas of Salt Lake and the Corinnes of Corinne. Salt Lake won 74 to 23. Same Oct. 2, 1870 suggests this game was part of a three-game series for the Territorial championship. The team nickname may be derived from the Greek "ennea", meaning "nine." The Naperville (IL) Clarion, July 20, 1870, reports that the Enneas were a Mormon team. An article in the Utah Historical Quarterly, v. 52 (1984) says the Enneas were the renamed Eurekas. Corinne UT (1890 pop. about 325) is about 60 miles N of Salt Lake City. |

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.
