    The National League Championship pennants in the photo say 1916 on them, strongly suggesting that these are Brooklyn fans at the 1916 World Series. Though the team was known as the Robins in this era, it was also commonly referred to as the Superbas and the Dodgers, as seen on the pennants here, long before the official change to that name around 1932.

    At right is Mrs. Edward J. McKeever (Jennie Veronica Murphy McKeever , (1862-1942)), wife of one of the Brooklyn team's owners.

    Annual Report of the Public Service Commission, Second District, Volume 2 books.google.com/books?id=qrVKZUyH9sEC&pg=PA83&lp... suggests that M. V. Woods was General Manager of McKeever's company (at least in 1906).

    Brooklyn Eagle of April 14, 1918, page 11 www.newspapers.com/newspage/55293324/ mentions "Mrs. Edw. McKeever, ... Mrs. Jennie Dalton, Miss Catherine Conklin," close together in the Brookyn Society column.

    Good catch, this is obviously Mrs. McK.'s box, and these are her buddies (and Mrs. Woods' son, probably). The program being held up behind J. Woods and Jennie Dalton marks this as being from Braves Field in Boston, probably game one of the 1916 World Series, played October 7, 1916. Though Fenway Park was the regular park of the Red Sox, they chose to play the World Series in the National League park of the Braves due to its vastly larger capacity. here's the program: fenwaypark100.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/2012program1916... www.baseball-almanac.com/ws/yr1916ws.shtml
