MAY LAUNCH "KNITTING DAY”

Chicago Club Endeavoring to Restore Custom of Admitting Women Free to Games. “Knitting day” once a week may be established at the National league parks this season, if plans under way are carried to completion. The Chicago club formerly admitted women free one day a week, but a year ago the National league passed a rule abolishing "ladies’ day.” Officials of the team now propose to ask a renewal of the custom at the next meeting of the league, but instead of calling it ladies’ day it will be known as “knitting day.” It is said that five of the eight clubs of the National league favor a free day for women, which has prevailed at the park of the Chicago American league club for several years.
