Description	The Elkhart Weekly Review, Aug. 19, 1865: "The Base Ball Match. The match game between the Laporte Base Ball Club, and the Star of the West, of Elkhart, came off on Thursday last [the 17th]" at Elkhart. Laporte won 98-28 in nine innings. The St. Louis Globe Democrat, July 8, 1865 gives a long report of the game between the Empire and the St. Louis team, and mentions that 2 members of the Eagle Club of Laporte attended. The Chicago Inter Ocean, Oct. 6, 1866 reports on a base ball tournament held in South Bend, where the LaPorte Club played the Spear BBC of Niles, MI. The event was hosted by the Excelsior Club of South Bend. Laporte IN (1860 pop. about 5,000; 1870 pop. about 6,500) is about 35 miles E of Gary and near Lake Michigan.

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.
