Handoff in relay race, 1927

Negative no.A1532. August 1927. Image depicts four young men in the middle of a relay race; one (in the center left) has just handed off his baton and another (slightly crouched) is waiting to seize the baton from his partner (in the dark pants). Another runner with #11 on his back is in the left foreground. Spectators line the sidelines and a flagpole can be seen in the middle of the image. Most likely part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces and company events, in addition to employment.
