Since al the men are wearing hats, it is most likely from the 30s or 40s. Could be as late as the mid-50s. When I was growing up, no one ever went outside without a hat – men, women, children. Always had to have a hat on your head. Then, all of a sudden, men stopped wearing hats. Many wore baseball caps, but you rarely see a man wearing a hat these days. Don’t know why they changed. Most of those guys look pretty fetching in their chapeaux!
I used to umpire kids games. It wasn’t the dads I had a problem with, it was the moms. They didn’t know much about the rules, only that their kid was always right.
Poor Mutt. Reminds me of a favorite baseball story. Many years ago an umpire for a major league game was being heckled. One woman in the crowd yelled out. If you were my husband, I’d serve you poison. The umpire remarked back. Lady, if you were my wife, I’d take it.

The first one was a ball, the second one was a strike, and the third one was a foul mood.
