Any reason LOC is not using the original caption where accurate? In this case, you are omitting key info.
The Library of Congress said:
@artolog: The SABR project focused on naming players and teams, using a stock pattern to devise for titles that replaced the severely abbreviated words scratched on the negatives. The words on the negatives were retained in the notes area. In this case, though, you're right. This negative has a full-blown title that identifies the scene well. We'll exchange the titles and subject notes. -- Helena

during the great influenza pandemic of 1918 that killed between 50 - 100 million people worldwide, and that decimated the city of Philadelphia, this guy and his wife drove sick people to the hospital at grave risk to themselves -- they did this when most other people were too scared to come out of their homes. he is a hero. for real.
