Dearâ€" born now stands, the then sparseâ€" ly populated village obtained the name of Chicago â€" an Indian word, meaning a badâ€"smelling place (no place for Durante).

The Chicago Bears are known for their championship elevens, two of which were considered by grid experts as the greatest conâ€" tingents of pigskin performers ev. er to assemble under one coach. At the national pastime the Chiâ€" cago Cubs and White Sox do their darndest, year in and year out, to ‘pleue the Wrigley field and Coâ€" miskey park clientele.
