The colored base ball clubs of Belleville and Lebanon crossed bats Thursday afternoon, the game resulting 13 to 12 in favor of Belleville.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat, September 1, 1884
It's not much but given that the Globe had pretty much ignored the black clubs of the area for the most of the 1884 season, it's great to see this. And it's a nice reference to black clubs on the east side of the river, which is rather rare.
