These extraordinary images are amongst a huge number of treasures to be found on a site called Shorpy. Big thanks to Johnny for sending it.

Washington, D.C. "Central Stadium, 1925." Natty attire as far as the eye can see. Not sure where Central Stadium was. Was it renamed? Anyone?
UPDATE: Nats320 ID's this as Cardoza High School. THANKS!

September 30, 1924. Washington Senators pitcher Walter Johnson, aka "The Big Train," with his wife, mother and children at Union Station. Was he going somewhere? The 1924 World Series started on October 4 at Griffith Stadium on Georgia Avenue and W Street, in NW DC. Maybe he just got off the train from an away game. The more you look at this image, the more you see.

Cardozo High School--Unquestionably on that Track Picture. Jim Bowden's executive assistant is a descendant of the person Cardozo High is named after.
I noticed your link from your kind posts on Nats320. I was curious so I jumped over. Thanks for the nice comments on some of my posts. We have a good time.
Please keep reading.
