| Description | The Helena Weekly Herald, May 2, 1867: "Base Ball Club. ...This club "has proved a decided success.... why is there not a rival club organized in Helena?" The Montana Post of Virginia City, May 18, 1867, reports on Helena: "Base Ball.--Since the organization of the Montana Base Ball Club, quite an interest has sprung up. [Another club has been organized,] "having elected J. G. Sanders, President, S. M. Chapman, Secretary and John Lemon, Treasurer." The latter club appears to be the Rocky Mountain Club. The Montana Post, Oct. 12th and 19th, 1867, reports on match games between the Montana BBC and the Rocky Mountain BBC, for "the championship" [presumably, of Helena]. The first match was won by the Rocky Mountain, 47-30. The 2nd, by the Montana 48-29. The latter article gives a box score, and a man named "Lemon" [presumably the RM treasurer mentioned above] played for the RM. Helena MT (1870 pop. 3100) is about 75 miles NW of Bozeman MT. |

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.
