Text | For the past six years the [Chicago] club has had the benefit of a location for its grounds which would not be possible in any other large city in the Union. It is very much as though a Philadelphia club had its park in the block bounded by Spruce and Walnut, Seventh and Eighth streets. In other words, the entrance to the Chicago Ball Park is but two squares distant from the retail center of the city, and from the upper windows of a large wholesale district an excellent view can be had of a ball game in progress. The saving of time and car-fare in reaching the grounds has been the means of putting many thousands of dollars into the Chicago Club’s treasury, and the loss of these grounds would prove a serious loss to the club. |
