James Gilmore Awards Presidents Cup to Weeghman

CHICAGO, IL. October 9, 1914 - "I am proud and privileged to be here in this city for the third season in a row," said a cheery Gilmore. First, the Chicago Orphans. Last season, the Whales. And now, the Whales can safely say that they are and forever will be the first United Baseball Association and Federal League club to not only win multiple Presidents Cup Series, but to win in back-to-back seasons."

After a brief ovation, Mr. Charles Weeghman, owner of the Whales club, took the stage.

"Thank you, thank you. Thank you. Please, thank you. We are champions once again!" The 40-year-old restaurant magnate held the trophy over his head, basking in it's glory. "I would like to thank you, the fans, for coming to as many games as you did. We had almost 185,000 more fans in attendance than the next-best team, the Orphans. We will continue to use the gate receipts to go out and find the best players and staff money can buy. Thank you."
