Identity not confirmed

"Lee, the excellent St. Louis amateur, refuses to make base ball a business, and will accept no offers from club managers." (Guelph Daily Mercury and Advertiser, July 31, 1877)

Lee from St. Louis was actually Leonidas Funkhauser, a Princeton college ball player who played one game as "Lee" with St. Louis in 1877. Not sure if this is the same Lee who appeared in a box score with London on August 29, 1877.
