Jeff Kittle's blog on St. Louis baseball says this club played at/near Carr Place, on the west side of Ham, south of Chouteau. [ba]

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.
