Bobby McLean was the U.S. speed skating champion at this time. He was quite well known, appearing at various events around the country. He even visited the White House that year in November. Left is a publicity photo that was taken of him in front of the White House. (It has a watermark because it is for sale on E-Bay.)
Below is an article that appeared in the January 23, 1922 Schenectady Gazette describing McLean's appearance at the carnival.
