Dan, great pickup on your Capital Beach picture. I was always under the impression that the baseball diamond was kindof makeshift as I have newspaper articles which state that chairs were moved from Antelope park to Capital Beach for Sunday games. Sunday games were still banned in Lincoln so they moved the chairs to the beach for Sunday games.

The spelling is also interesting. I have a couple of early postcards which call it Capitol Beach, but this is clearly using Capital instead of Capitol.
