I find something else in the picture very interesting. As a studier (is that a word?) of Negro League history, DC was an epicenter of change some years later with Homestead and DC negro league teams pulling more fans than the Senators (Sometimes 40,000 to 20,000 easy), interesting to note the African/American fans in the stands at such volume....some 20 years before the economic impacts were truly felt
