Whittington Names Chicago Ballpark

CHICAGO, IL. May 25, 1918 - The ballpark formerly known as O'Connor Park officially received a new name today.

The Orphans, now owned by popping corn magnate Pinch Whittington, will now play at the Windy City Grounds. Whittington stated that he wasn't looking to advertise his name or his popping corn business with the stadium moniker, but wanted to honor his "favorite city in the world."
