If it is a real photo, perhaps the golfer and kid are on a beam of the (old) Hall of Records (not City Hall), constructed before the destruction of the old Times building around 1910, so they could exist in the same shot. Just a guess. The old Times Building would have been visible from the location of the Hall of Records, the turroted building at the old street angle that most of us old timers miss almost as much as Richfield. It was torn down in the early 1970s.
