Description	The newspaper reported a game between two Black clubs, the St. John's Club and the Union Club that was rained out. The brief article mentions the grounds of the St. John's Club as being at the "foot of Chestnut Street." This was a Newark field so the St. John's Club was clearly from Newark. No mention is made of where the Union Club was from. For now, the club is being listed as a Newark club. Additional research will be done, but prior efforts didn't reveal any information about either team.

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.
