A very similar photograph of an athlete participating in the broad jump 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
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
An athlete participates in the Pacific Fleet track meet and is captured landing in the pit during the broad jump competition. The camera sits at ground level. The landing pit extends across the foreground and back to the left. At center, a jumper faces camera as his feet meet the landing pit. Both of his arms flay out to his sides. Beyond the pit, spectators, meet officials and athletes mill about. A structure's framing stands behind the spectators at right.
