1910 Track and Field Meet postcards
For you Olympic sport lovers: here are three photo postcards I bought a while ago back on eBay showing a track and field meet in 1910. High jump, Pole Vault, and Shot Put are represented. Figured you might like a look at the dress of the day, the lack of safety equipment (how would you like to land on the hard-packed clay after jumping yourself over a 5+ foot bar?), and the referees.
 Is this a Fosbury Flop from 58 years before Dick Fosbury?  Pole Vault: hopefully this guy had a padded mat to land on.  Can anyone identify AMA? I think this was a northeastern US meet. Amazing, not much different in these three sports from 100 years ago.
