| Sources | Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, April 27, 1861. |
| Warning | |
| Comment | If, held, the planned match on April 27 did not reach (or was not printed by) Wilkes' Spirit. Texas had already seceded and joined the Southern Confederacy by the time the Houston BBC formed. The beginning of the war after Fort Sumter was fired upon on April 12 presumably ended such communication. See Protoball Pre-Pro, the Houston Ball Club, for more on this club.
