- Browning, Reed. Baseball's greatest season, 1924, c2003:ECIP galley ("Senators had once been the club's name and would later again become the club's name, in 1924 they were the Nationals -- and that's the way the D.C. press identified them")
- Wikipedia, viewed Nov. 30, 2017(The Washington Senators baseball team was one of the American League's eight charter franchises. The club was founded in Washington, D.C. in 1901 as the Washington Senators. In 1905, the team changed its official name to the Washington Nationals. The name "Nationals" appeared on the uniforms for only two seasons, and was then replaced with the "W" logo for the next 52 years. However, the names "Senators," "Nationals," and shorter "Nats" were used interchangeably by fans and media for the next sixty years; the Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins in 1961)
