Description	The Naperville Clarion, Aug. 3, 1870, under the headline "Visit to Lemont" has a long article on the Naperville BBC going to Lemont to play the Marble City BBC of Lemont. Naperville won, 38 to 31. The game was played the Friday before (July 29th). A box score was included. The grounds were described as half a mile south of town, in a low green valley near the canal. The Chicago Tribune, Sept. 17, 1870 reports that the Forest Citys of Chicago beat the Marble City Club of Lemont 23 to 9, in five innings. Lemont is southwest of Chicago, and known for its quarries.
