September 2, 1924, was an off day for the Washington Senators. Just before taking the 2 games from the Red Sox in DC on September 1st, the Senators had taken 3 of 4 games from the Yankees at New York, to go from being .5 game behind the Yankees in the AL standings to 1.5 games ahead. The DC fans had never before been so excited about the Senators. I assume President Calvin Coolidge knew a good promotional opportunity when he saw one, for he invited the Senators team to visit the White House on September 2nd, and, of course, photos were taken:
