The Champion Club of Albany is listed as an Association member in 1860: M. Wright, The NABBP, page 532.
The Club was scheduled to play a match against the Vanguards of Cohoes on September 10, 1859, using the fly rule. No report of that game is found. The announcement in the Troy Daily Whig is reported on the Protoball Games Tabulation (NYS Capital Area Table) compiled by Craig Waff.
