Nick Altrock With Six Clowns
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Nick Altrock (far right) with six clowns on the field at Griffith Stadium before a fundraiser baseball game for the Masonic and Eastern Star Home. Altrock is holding a large megaphone and is looking at the camera. He is wearing a Washington Senators home uniform with his hat turned to the side. The unidentified clowns are all wearing face paint, clown costumes, and either a funny hat or a wig. The game was played on June 25, 1921, in front of the largest crowd at Griffith Stadium up to that point. Visible in the background are fans in the full grandstand. See altroni01_02
