scouts
were
sent
to
all
parts
of

country
to
gather

Charles
Albert
Comiskey
was
the
third

In

of
eight.
His
father,
John
Comiskey,

family
to
America
in

and
ten
years
later
Charles
was
born
in
Chicago,
August
15,
1858.
The

Comiskey

politics
and
for
eleven
years
served
as
alderman,
representing
what
then
was
the
most
densely
populated
Irish
ward
In

On
Instructions
from
his
father,
Charles
was
apprenticed
to
a
plumber,
a
position
not
altogether

the
youth's
liking.
All
his
spare
time
the
lad
played

It
