The first World series broadcast over distant radio stations via telegraph lines was in 1922, however in this case it seems they are watching the outcome on some kind of board updated by telegraph lines. This World Series is between the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Yankees.

What's particularly interesting in this instance is that the only connexions Key West had to the outside world were via coastwise steamer or via the Florida East Coast Railway's famous "overseas extension" across the Keys.

The latter would be so badly destroyed by the Labour Day Hurricane of 1935 that the railroad line would be abandoned posthaste; said line would become the foundation of the Overseas Highway (US 1), opened in 1938.
