Description	The New York Clipper, Aug. 4, 1860: "The New York game in Chicago--the base ball fraternity of Chicago, Ill. appear to have accepted the New York style of playing, almost entirely. Among the clubs who play the game, are the Atlantic, Excelsior, Osceola, Excelsior Jr., Atlantic Jr., Niagara, Little Giant, Red Jacket, Columbia, Ossawatamie, and Young America."

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.
