| Description | Cartoon shows an old gentleman (labeled "D.C.") in 18th century garb, hugging a baseball player. He holds a clapper in one hand and is surrounded by an array of horns, bells, megaphones, and banners reading "World Champions." The Capitol is shown in the background with its dome askew and the figure on top waving a banner, while Uncle Sam beams down from the clouds and the cartoonist's signature little bear surveys the scene. In April 1924, the Washington Senators won their first World Series championship, defeating the New York Giants. President Coolidge attended the game, and the wild celebration following the victory extended far into the night. Berryman generally depicted the District of Columbia as an 18th century colonist, reflecting the fact that its residents had no vote. |
