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 custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
