The Morning Stars in 1861

A match of Base Ball came off yesterday afternoon, at the West end of the Fair Grounds, between the Morning Star and the Tiger clubs, which resulted in favor of the former.  The score stood 20 to 6.

I believe that this is the first source that shows the Morning Stars playing a game after the Civil War had broken out.

A friendly match was played on Saturday west of the Fair Grounds, between the Tiger and the Lone Star Clubs, resulting in the success of the latter Club.

The Tiger Club was a new one to me.  Had never heard of them.  But including the Tigers, we now know of nine antebellum baseball clubs in St. Louis.
