Description	The Chicago Tribune, Sept. 25, 1869: "The University nines of Chicago and Evanston play a match game of base ball this forenoon.... at the Camp Douglas grounds." Obviously, this is the Northwestern University club. Camp Douglas was on the south side of Chicago, around 31st-35th streets, near the current University of Chicago. The Chicago Tribune, Oct. 12, 1869: "Base Ball. Gazelles vs. Independents." The Gazelles of Evanston beat the Independents of Chicago Oct. 9th in Evanston. Other newspapers note that the female students ot Northwestern had a baseball club of their own in 1869.
