| Text | The following circular, issued by the officials of the local [Pittsburgh] National League Club, explains itself: “Owing to some improvements to be made at Recreation Park, which the directors desire to begin at once, the series of games scheduled with Chicago at Recreation Park for Tuesday and Wednesday, April 29 and 30, and Thursday and Friday, May 1 and 2 has, by arrangement with the Chicago Ball Club, been transferred to Chicago on these dates. This transfer has been affected by unanimous consent of the National League Clubs and will afford the management of the Pittsburgh National Club an opportunity to make such changes on the ground of Recreation Park as has [sic] been previously determined upon. New York Sun April 28, 1890 President John B. Day of the New York (N.L.) Club looks upon the changing of the Chicago-Pittsburgh series of games from Pittsburgh to Chicago simply as an ordinary business transaction. “I understand that attempts are being made to create a sensation out of the affair,” President Day said to a Sun reporter last night. “What kind of a sensation can be made out of it? It's a thing that occurs frequently, and, in this instance, the chances are largely in their favor for making more money in Chicago than in Pittsburgh, and that is all there is to it.” New York Sun April 28, 1890 |
