Description	The Elburn Weekly Record, May 3, 1889 reports a game "last Sunday in Whitney's woods, south of town" won by "Lawrence's men" 13-4. Says there will be a game by the townsmen next weekend. This tiny village (first named Blackberry Station) undoubtedly had baseball prior to 1888, when the first club is mentioned. Elburn was incorporated in 1886, and had 584 residents in 1890.
