Getting the Scoop on Chicago Papers in 1917

From the November 8, 2017, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"The Chronicle is first giving tragedy news.  Patrons of the Chronicle had the important facts about the sinking of the American transport, The Antilles, last night at six o'clock about 14 hours before the Chicago morning papers which were the next ones to carry anything about the tragedy.

"This again emphasizes the fact that people who want to read about the world news at the earliest possible moment take the Chronicle as no other paper in this section can give anything like the telegraphy service that this paper offers."

I'm figuring the Chronicle had an evening paper.
