Here are the Leslie's that I know of :
11/04/1865 - Creighton
06/06/1885 - Illinois - The Chicago Baseball Club
07/10/1886 - Portraits of the Manager & Members NY Baseball Club
06/23/1888 - Baseball in New York - A general view of the Polo Grounds
09/01/1888 - BB Craze - Climax at Polo Grounds
07/27/1889 - The Popular Interest in Base-Ball
08/31/1889 - A Baseball Incident - caught between the bases
09/07/1889 - John Ward (quarter page)
08/29/1891 - The Struggle For The League Championship (cover)
09/16/1897 - Base-Ball At The Polo Grounds, In New York (cover)
There must be many more, I would guess a similar amount as in Harpers (which I count as 78 different thru 1900).
"The Daily Graphic" may be an earlier version of "The Graphic", and both had baseball woodcuts, starting at least as early as 04/18/1874 thru at least 01/24/1891.
Many of those mentioned above are scanned in my "misc stuff" section on my flickr page.
