A very similar photograph of athletes running a race at the same meet is captioned, "Exciting Moments in the Pacific Fleet Cinder Championships Sailor Flynn, shown above, collected a flock of points yesterday afternoon at Long Beach High for the Pacific Fleet Air Force in the broad jump. Palmer and Waldrop, both of the U.S.S. New York, are observed in the lower picture helping each other bust the tape at the finish of the 220. Spies[?] of the U.S.S. California is seen bounding in a close third," Los Angeles Times, 13 May 1922: III1
The Long Beach High School track stretches across the foreground and back to the left. Along the inside of the track at left, several runners race in a staggered line; they approach the camera. A wire fence lines the outside edge of the track at right. Beyond the fence, spectators fill the stands as they view the race. Some spectators are visible viewing the race from atop the stands' roof.
A different photograph taken on the same occasion appears with the article, "CALIFORNIA'S ATHLETES CAPTURE THE FLEET TRACK AND FIELD TITLE: FLEET AIR FORCE IS SECOND IN CLOSE MEET; Native Sons Roll Up 38 Points as Aviators Are Collecting 36; Mississippi is Third Sea Dogs in Violent Action," Los Angeles Times, 13 May 1922: III1
