History
In 1904, Hyde Park Blues were an inaugural member of the newly established Chicago Association Football League, a predominantly ethnic British league in Chicago, Illinois. They won the spring season, edging out Pullman F.C. In the fall 1904 season, they finished 9-0-1, taking the league title for a second consecutive time. They had their greatest success between 1910 and 1913. During those years, they won two league championships, one Peel Cup and one league cup (Jackson Cup). They finished at the bottom of the standings in 1915-1916 and disappeared from view.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
