The spelling is also interesting. I have a couple of early postcards which call it Capitol Beach, but this is clearly using Capital instead of Capitol.
Bruce, I'm not convinced that picture is at Capitol Beach..I think it may be Antelope Park, but they just used it on their advertising because the team would play Sunday ball out there.
