  offramp: Capablanca gave up a load of material but couldn't get his aircraft out of the hangar quickly enough to compensate.

I might be imagining it but Capa seems to play black in simuls more often than other masters. Very sporting!

  MissScarlett: Hold your horses, something's amiss. If Stacy won the game, why do I have the game as <Minneapolis, MN (+14 -0 =0) 27.11.1909>?

On your general point, my impression is that Lasker would play Black most often. By the 1920s, this practice seems to have died out almost entirely.

  MissScarlett: <TUC> has two Capa simuls in the Twin Cities: Minneapolis on November 26th, scoring +13 -3 =0; St.Paul on the 27th with +12 -0 =0.

The <Minneapolis Sunday Tribune> of December 5th 1909, the source for this and E P Elliott vs Capablanca, 1909 claims that <On Friday evening [November 26th] he played 12 and on Saturday afternoon 14 games. He won all the evening games, but lost one each to S. J. Warner, F. N. Stacy and E. P. Elliott.

[...]

At St. Paul, Capablanca played 13 simultaneously and won all the games.>

This suggests the correct record should be:

Minneapolis on November 26th, +12 -0 =0; Minneapolis on November 27th, +11 -3 =0; St.Paul on November 27th, +13 -0 =0.
