Scope and content
On October 5, 1922, longtime Puyallup Fair president W.H. Paulhamus (center, directly under American flag) and a large group of men and women gathered outside an ornate building on the fairgrounds; a ferris wheel can faintly be seen to the rear along with numerous food booths. The building has a scoreboard mounted on it that shows the inning-by-inning score of the World Series game being held on that day between the NY Yankees and the NY Giants. The Yankees played the Giants in three successive World Series with much of the same roster. On October 5, 1922, the teams played to a 3-3 tie. Both Yankee pitcher B. Shawkey and Giants pitcher J. Barnes pitched 10 innings; the sun was still high in the sky when the game was called on account of "darkness," a decision that irritated baseball commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis to the point that he donated the days receipts for the game to charity.
