Description

The earliest mentions of the Lookout Club are in the Nov. 18, 1865 edition of Wilkes' Spirit of the Times and The New York Clipper. The Clipper provides a box score of an intrasquad scrimmage and mentions that the club was formed on Sept. 23, 1865. There are further intrasquad scrimmages (at least twice with only seven or eight to a side) played in the spring of 1866. The Spirit of the Times article dates its announcement of the same match as Nov. 7, so this match must have been played before that date.

The New York Clipper, March 31, 1866 has the box score (with players names) of an intersquad game of this club.

Chattanooga had a population of about 6,000 in 1870. It is located on the Tennessee River in the SE corner of the state near the Georgia border.

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.
