100 Years Ago Today |

Posted by italianstallion on Thu Oct 8 19:42:15 2015 I was browsing through TimesMachine, an online way to browse through the NY Times archives by viewing scans of every pages of the paper as published. (Unfortunately, TimesMachine is only available to digital subscribers.) So, on Oct. 7, 1915, on page 5, there is an ad from the Jersey Central for special trains to the "World's Series" then about to start in Philly. Since I can't copy or link to the ad, I will transcribe it:DIRECT TO GATES OF WORLD'S SERIES in Philadelphia New Jersey Central Trains at 9.50, 10.50, 11.50 A.M. from West 23rd St. Terminal. 10 and 11 A.M. and 12 Noon from Liberty St.Terminal. Make special stops at Huntingdon St. Station, immediately adjoining the Philadelphia National League Park. On October 8th and 9th and on dates of postponed or tied games. 1 Hour 52 Minutes Liberty Street to the Ball Grounds Dining Cars on 10.50-11 A.M. and 11.50-12 Noon Trains. Other Trains Every Hour on the Hour from Liberty St. (ten minutes of the hour from West 23rd St.) 7:00 A.M. to 10 P.M. Parlor Cars on all Trains Special Return Service Leave Huntingdon St. for New York 4.07, 5.07 and 6.07 P.M. _____ In the sports pages of the same paper, the experts were touting Boston as the favorites over Philly. Boston wound up winning 4 games to 1. |
