The Pan-American Exposition Association Football Championships took place at the Stadium. There were two series, one American and one Canadian. Taking part were World's Fair Association football team of St. Louis, Fall River Football Club, Pawtucket football team from Rhode Island, Gore Vale Football Team of Toronto, Toronto Scots and two teams representing P.E. Wurfflein of Trenton. Fall River Football Club beat the Toronto Scots by 5 goals to 3 in the Final. Could the postcard be showing a football match in progress?
