Additional notes from Jeff Kittel, 12/3/2012: A January 1867 article exhorted club members to pay their dues or risk "public expulsion" from the club. A July 1868 article notes that the club was playing in a series of games for the championship of West Tennessee. |

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.
