DEAN Hello Sport Fans!—Last week we discussed the pitchers, this week we shall recall to your mem- ories some of the outstanding first basemen who played for us in our island city. Before saying anything . about | those who kicked the first sack 1} would like to make mention of a “star’’ who could have been classed with the pitchers we wrote | about. For some reason he was left over for this week because to| my thinking he should be classed a little different from the ether | pitchers. I am speaking about| Clarence “Fly” Alce. He should | be classed differently because “Fly” is still the best pitcher we have in the city today. He has represented us well and is still able to defend us. Aside from his | pitching “Fly” is still the best} man in town to have playing on your team for his fielding and hitting. | Now, about the first basemen: | As I have seen them—A very few of us remember a Cuban by the name of Florentino—he was an! excellent first baseman who can} be remembered by those who saw him in action. But, to my judg-| ment, Maxwell Cleare was the best we ever had. I have never! seen Mac put anything but two hands on the ball unless it was ab- solutely necessary to use one hand. He was a very good and hard hit- | ter. Many of us remember the time Mac drove the ball in the! school house. To me Mac was} the greatest. “Cuban” Tato played during Mac’s time and also was outstand- ing because of his style of kick-| ing the sack. | Oscar “Big Taxi” McIntosh was next to Mac. Taxi had plenty of class, very fast, a good ground ball catcher, also a good long ball hitter. | Buster “Keaton” Brown is out-| standing because he has been up| |the country many times playing | with some of the most outstand-| ling teams among which was the} |New York Black Yankees.» Brown | is still active as a first baseman. | | There may be differences of op- inion, but nevertheless, I consider him outstanding. Next week the 2nd basemen will be discussed.

The| two even surpassed their superb spring performances in Maxwell Anderson’s musical dramatization | of Allan Paton’s novel, ‘Cry the} Beloved Country,”—‘‘Lost in the Stars.” | Baker, a drama major, portray- | ed the role of “Black Weaver,” an! escaped condemned convict. Miss| Hackley, a voice major, held the| role of “Jennie Parsons,” the} daughter of a scheming father. | “Down in the Valley” is, in| essence, the love story of “Weav-| er,” an interweaving of four Amer- | ican folk songs, which are the} heart of opera. . They include such | recognized ballads as ‘‘Sourwood | Mountains,” “The Little Black/ Train,” ‘The Lonesome Dove,” | and “Hop Up My Ladies.” Miss | Hackley and Baker handled the| |lyrics with the ease of veteran) performers.
