Possible that this was taken at Polo Grounds when he reported in 1912. Possible he wore his ML Washington uni rather than his Rochester uni when he came up? Can anyone tell from background if this is Polo Grounds? Could also originally be from 1910-11 if Washington was visiting for a game and then reprinted and relabeled by Conlon?

The Highlanders were still playing at Hilltop Park in 1912. Old press photos were often re-used and re-labeled in the early 20th Century; most likely this photo was taken in 1911, when the Nationals were wearing the uniform depicted in the image.
