| Description | The Aurora Beacon, June 13, 1867, reports on a match on June 8th: "Base Ball Match. The match between the Aurora and Seminary Base Ball Clubs took place on Saturday last, as previously announced." The Clark Seminary of Aurora won 45 to 39. The Aurora team uniform was black pants with white shirts. A box score is given. Looking at the microfilms of the Beacon (at the Aurora Public Library) I found no games played there prior to 1867. On July 4th the Auroras lost to Elgin at Elgin, 46 to 25. Aurora Beacon, July 11, 1867. The Chicago Tribune, July 27, 1867, has an extensive article on the State base ball convention. Among the teams sending delegates were the Aurora and Black Hawk BBCs of Aurora. The Aurora BBC's delegates were C. D. Haney and R. W. Gates (Charles Haney, bc 1845 VT, a clerk, and Roswell Wilder Gates (1834-1909), later city clerk and JP). Same, Sept. 30, 1867 reports on baseball at the Kane County Fair, played Sept. 28. The Aurora BBC beat the Seminary club of Aurora and the Elgin club to take the prize. |

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.
