1888 Chicago Harvard Prep School Football Team
The 1888 Harvard Prep School football team of Chicago represented Harvard School of Chicago during the 1888 college football season. In (at least) their 3rd year fielding a football team (as the school played Michigan in 1887, losing 0-26, and Northwestern in 1886, winning 32-4), the Harvard's as they were called, compiled a 6–1 record (according to one unverified source). They also had a Junior (JV) team, who reportedly won the Junior Championship of Illinois, although this was just a claim, and not an official title or award. The team played at the Wanderer's Athletic Club cricket grounds, on 37th Street and Indiana Avenue. They would play two collegiate teams during the football season, defeating Lake Forest 22 to 4 (or 22–6), and losing to Notre Dame 20 to 0, which would become the University's first victory in a football game.

Jackson Park (Chicago)
Jackson Park is a park located on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. It was originally designed in 1871 by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, then greatly remodeled in 1893 to serve as the site of the World's Columbian Exposition, leaving it as one of the largest and most historically significant parks in the city. A number of features attest to the legacy of the fair, including a Japanese garden, the Statue of ''The'' ''Republic'', and the Museum of Science and Industry. As part of the Woodlawn community area, it extends along Lake Michigan and borders onto the neighborhoods of Hyde Park and South Shore. The parkland was first developed as part of an unrealized addition to the Chicago park and boulevard system, whose other remnants include Washington Park and Midway Plaisance. At the time, it was known as Lake Park, then renamed in 1880 to commemorate Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States. While the original aquatic theme of islands and lagoo ...

South Side Park
South Side Park was the name used for three different baseball parks that formerly stood in Chicago, Illinois, at different times, and whose sites were all just a few blocks away from each other. South Side Park I (1884) The first South Side Park was the home of the short-lived Chicago Browns entry in the Union Association of 1884. The venue was also called Union Base Ball Park and 39th Street Grounds in local newspapers. Indications are that the ballpark was on a block bounded by 39th Street (south); South Wabash Avenue (west); 38th Street (north); and South Michigan Avenue (east). The Unions played 35 games at this park between May 2 and August 1. The papers indicated they were then headed on a three-week road trip. After that road trip, they re-emerged as the Pittsburgh entry, which played five home games at Exposition Park before taking to the road for the last few weeks of their existence. There are no known photos or illustrations of the ballpark, and it does not ap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
