Boxing Match in the Gym, 1914
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of sporting events or competitions.
Handwritten caption: "Gym Interior. '14."
Two men are taking part in a boxing match as a small group of onlookers surround them. That's what I thought this small photo showed until I scanned and enlarged it.
It turns out that the two young men in the middle are just pretending to throw punches, and eight others are watching the boxers or pretending to engage in their own exercises. One fellow is just standing with his arms crossed, another is lifting small wooden dumbbells on either side of his head, a third is starting to climb a pole, and two guys are getting ready to throw Indian clubs. At the far end of the gym behind the main group is a fellow sitting on a pommel horse. The blurred figure on the left is someone else who was walking or running as the photo was taken, and a tenth young man is sitting by himself near the piano in the right-hand corner.
There's no indication, unfortunately, where this gym may have been located.

A short reflection on the piano: Back then, in any large gathering place, it seemed there was always a piano. And I would guess the majority of homes, no matter how modest, had a piano or strived for one.
Now, they have online sites specializing in how to give your piano away for free. : (
