Description	Peverelly [page 114] reports that the Louisville Base Ball Club twice played against the Olympic Club, the first played on 7/22/1865. Morris, "Base Ball Pioneers," p. 309 says the Olympics formed in July 1865. The teams played at Cedar Hill grounds (presumably a park near the present-day Cedar Hill Cemetery) from 1867 on.

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.
