Opening Day Arrives!

CHICAGO, IL. April 6, 1912 - This afternoon, the United Baseball Association's inaugural season kicks off in Chicago. There are eight games today, with Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Newark, New York, Cleveland, Kansas City, and Washington also hosting opening day contests.

All eight cities have declared today a half-day holiday. Tens of thousands are expected to arrive at many of the newly constructed stadiums to view the first games of the United and Federal League.

The first game, a contest between the Brooklyn Tip-Tops and the Chicago Whales, begins at 1:30 PM at the north-side Weeghman Park. The new ballpark is located at Addison and Clark Streets.

Weeghman Park was designed by Zachary Davis, who also designed the south-side Comiskey Park, home of the Chicago White Sox of the American League.
