Description	This photograph, taken from the top of the Woman's Magazine Building, shows the Lewis Publishing Company baseball field and the stands built for spectators. The company had both junior and senior teams for employees. Tracks for the Creve Coeur Streetcar run across the center of the photo behind the ball field fence. Delmar Garden Amusement Park is visible in the background. The Amusement Park opened around the turn of the century on Delmar Boulevard at the end of the Delmar Streetcar line, offering a variety of entertainment venues, rides and eating and drinking establishments. At the time University City was incorporated it had a somewhat unsavory reputation, but management followed the new ordinances, and the Amusement Park remained popular until it closed in the late teens.
