Newark Daily Mercury - 10/24/1855 - account of rain out of game between St.John's and Union Clubs both "colored." St. John's club is clearly a Newark Club - Union may be, but not clear. Believed to be earliest instance of African-Americans organizing to play base ball in the United States

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.
