Description	Dawson's Daily Times and Union (Fort Wayne, IN) Saturday evening, May 3, 1862 Page 3, 1st column, 2nd item of "Local and Miscellaneous": Summit City Base Ball Club Regular play of the above Club will be on Monday afternoon of each week, at 2 o'clock. On next Monday afternoon, the first match game of the season will be played, at which time there will be presented to the member making the greatest number of runs in nine innings, a beautiful SILVER CUP, worth ten dollars. C.S. BRACKENRIDGE, Pres't. W.B. FISHER, Sec'y. Morris et al., "Base Ball Pioneers, 1850-1870" p. 204-206, has an article on this team, which played its first game May 5, 1862. It soon disbanded. A postwar team of the same name was formed in 1866. The (postwar) Summit City and Kekionga were organized in 1866. In 1867 there was organized the Twightwees, Concordia Empire, Keystones, Socials, Athletics and Mechanics. See Griswold, "A Pictorial History of Fort Wayne" (1917) v. 1 p. 474. [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.
