BTW, the Senators won the game against the Athletics that Frank referred to in the previous post by the score of 4 - 3, with Fred "Firpo" Marberry the winning pitcher. By winning both games on September 1st, the Senators maintained their 1.5 game lead over the Yankees, who swept 2 games from the Red Sox on this date.

September 2, 1924, was an off day for the Washington Senators. Just before taking the 2 games from the Red Sox in DC on September 1st, the Senators had taken 3 of 4 games from the Yankees at New York, to go from being .5 game behind the Yankees in the AL standings to 1.5 games ahead. The DC fans had never before been so excited about the Senators. I assume President Calvin Coolidge knew a good promotional opportunity when he saw one, for he invited the Senators team to visit the White House on September 2nd, and, of course, photos were taken:

September 3, 1924 was another day without baseball for the Washington Senators, a brief interruption of their pennant struggle with the Yankees. The pitching staff was caught, however, in a picture dated on the 3rd. (Given the background shown, it seems impossible that the picture was actually taken on the third, but perhaps it was issued to help fill the news vacuum created by the off day.) The caption-writer offers an optimistic view of Washington's chances to achieve its unprecedented objective:

September 4, 1924
September 4, 1924. The Washington Senators routed the Boston Red Sox 12-5 before 12,000 fans at Griffith Stadium. WP: Walter Johnson (19-6); SV: Allen Russell (8). (Here's an odd rabbit hole: The Baseball-Reference Box Score indicates that Russell has been awarded a Save, despite entering the game in relief of Walter Johnson who is credited with 7 innings pitched. Boston scored a run in the top of the seventh inning off Walter to make the score 9-3; Washington scored 3 runs in the bottom of the seventh to get to 12-3 before Russell took over. Doesn't make sense to me.)
Anyway, Sam Rice had a big game (4-6 with 5 RBIs), but the card goes to Bucky Harris who was 3-5 with a walk, an RBI, and three runs scored:
