[edit] Chicago

According to West Side Grounds, Chicago too had an annual City Series. How did this work? Was it a pre-season competition? Did it occur during some mid-season break in the schedule (back in the days before the All Star Game)? Did this occur (as I would imagine) in any of the other cities with multiple teams? If so, what did the other teams do during this period? This article needs this information.

Cities with multiple major-league teams (1904-54):

Philadelphia (Athletics and Phillies)
St Louis (Browns and Cardinals)
Chicago (White Sox and Cubs)
Boston (Braves and Red Sox)
New York (Yankees, Giants, and Dodgers)

Cities with only one team at this time:

Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Washington
