The caption on the back of the photo reads: ...Solly Todaro, ardent Oakland rooter-clown, leads an enthusiastic crowd in the sixth frame of the first game, when the Oaks scored five times... In addition to the caption: Solly is standing on top of the dugout and clapping his hands. He is wearing a black tuxedo top and a top hat. Two players are walking into the dugout (#5 and #7) and the cathcer is sitting on the dugout steps. Many fans are standing and clapping in the background of the photo. Also, it appears that the photo was cut at one time and taped back together.
