Description: This is a photo of a motorcycle race at Randall Park in the village of North Randall, Ohio. This track was originally built in 1908 and used for horse racing. From 1909 to 1938, the track was a part of the Grand Harness Racing Circuit and became known as "the Saratoga of the West". In 1951, the site was purchased by the Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation of Youngstown, Ohio and would turn the area into the Randall Park Mall, which was opened 1976. The mall is now considered "dead" after many stores closed as recently as 2009.

There is also a man seated in the back of the photo. He is also presumed to be employed by the WPA and could possibly be the actual instructor.

The WPA was enacted in 1935 and was responsible for putting millions of unskilled people to work in public works projects throughout the country. The WPA is a New Deal agency and was dissolved in 1943 as a result from a massive amount of employment opportunities due to the need of workers during World War II.

Description: This photograph shows the batter getting "the brush-back" where it appears the ball had almost hit him. The batter seems to be leaning back in an attempt to avoid being hit, while the catcher leans to his left in order to catch the ball. A note on the photograph's reverse reads "Sandloters." This photograph is one of the many visual materials collected for use in the Ohio Guide. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers. The Federal Arts Program, a sector of the Works Progress Administration, included the Federal Writers’ Project, one of the primary goals of which was to complete the America Guide series, a series of guidebooks for each state which included state history, art, architecture, music, literature, and points of interest to the major cities and tours throughout the state. Work on the Ohio Guide began in 1935 with the publication of several pamphlets and brochures. The Reorganization Act of 1939 consolidated the Works Progress Administration and other agencies into the Federal Works Administration, and the Federal Writers’ Project became the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio. The final product was published in 1940 and went through several editions. The Ohio Guide Collection consists of 4,769 photographs collected for use in Ohio Guide and other publications of the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio from 1935-1939. View on Ohio Memory.
