Default Photo identification of park and teams: help needed ~1908

Some time ago, I acquired three small photos. If anyone can identify the park and teams, that would be great. I have scanned the photos at 800 dpi and added the link to the very large photos on my flickr site

Photo 1:

Nothing on back:

Photo 2:

On back:

"....[illegible} vs Washington, September 5, 08 [08 is questionable]"

Photo 3:

On back:

"Royal Giants vs Philadelphia Giants, September 7, 08 [?] Labor Day



Link to large photo

I suspect the ballpark is unique enough that it won't be too hard to identify for those with expertise in stadiums. Despite the writing on the back, the players in photo 3 don't look African American. September 7, 1908 was a Monday, so if Labor Day was indeed that day back then, at least that part of the identification is correct.
