In 1903 Cambridge was still digesting its 1890s growth, and many families on the avenue's side streets were Irish and Italian immigrants who worked in the mills and shops of East Cambridge. Harvard's new football stadium, finished that year on the edge of the college grounds, drew crowds of students and alumni, and local residents followed the Boston Americans' championship season and the October 1903 World Series, which was played across the river at the Huntington Avenue Grounds. Cambridge men of the period often spoke of the Charles River as a working waterway, and the bridges that carried traffic into Boston were a daily concern for anyone commuting to the city's offices and warehouses.
