Description	The book "Twentieth Anniversary Souvenir Edition. The LaSalle Tribune, 1891-1911" p. 80 cites a record book of the team which says the "Little Vermillion Baseball Club" was formed at a meeting on April 20, 1867 (Little Vermillion being the name of a nearby river). The constitution said the club "shall consist of not more than thirty regular members." Officers elected were S. H. Davis, president; James J. Boyle, vice president; and S. V. Cornish, secretary-treasurer. It gives the names of the 23 charter members. "On July 4, 1867, there was staged a ball game between two of the club's teams, and it is recorded in the minutes that the losing team was to pay for the ice cream for the membership." More details are given. The Chicago Tribune, Oct. 11, 1867 says the "Little Vermillion" BBC of LaSalle played the O.K.'s of Ottawa Oct. 10th at the LaSalle County Fair. Same, Sept. 6, 1867 says the Little Vermillions played the Shabbona of Ottawa on Sept. 3rd, with the Shabbona winning 98-48.

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.
