Apparently the boys in the tree one is/was a mural on the wall in the outfield and there was a mistake.

"So, there you have it. The photo of the boys in the tree was taken during a Cubs/Dodgers game July 14, 1932, not during that year's World Series."

I am right. The sign gives the opponent "The Giants", the potential dates of the series "July 19-20" - narrows the picture down to that series, which was in 1935. There was a freak thunderstorm on July 20th, and they played the game after the storm on that day. That rules out July 20. (Maybe July 21, but I don't think so - that certainly looks like the game just let out on July 19).

Best guess this is post game exit of the stands, the street cars lined up - if first pitch was at 1:00 p.m. and a 9 inning game lasted 2 hours - give or take 3:00 p.m. - certainly before sunset at 7:22.

Voila.
