popular modern belief. Local news reports from the 1900 season make it appear that Derby Baseball Club were the continuation of Ley's official Derby club, with players including Saxton, Berresford and Booth still being on the Derby Baseball Club roster. In February 1900 a Derby Baseball Club roster was reported to still include Steve Bloomer, however on 27 June 1900 it was reported that Derby Baseball Club had defeated Derby County, sending Derby Baseball Club top of the National League. The Derby County Baseball Club roster for the game featured Steve Bloomer. Had Bloomer defected to the newly formed Derby County Baseball Club? At this point both clubs appear to disappear, though it seems apparent Ley's two successive Derby Baseball Clubs, formed from his Ley's Recreation Club, were never universally known as Derby County Baseball Club.
