This picture shows James Crowley, listed in the caption as second place in a Brooklyn marathon, posed with other runners. The record names him as "Jas. Crowley," and the title comes from caption data that the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its card, so the details are not independently verified. The Bain agency made thousands of pressroom photographs of New York events and people from the early 1900s through the 1910s, and its glass negatives capture the period's enthusiasm for long-distance running and competitive athletics. The date on the record, written as 2/12/09, most likely refers to 1909.
