Scope and content
In June of 1947, Bill Mullen, Lincoln High School baseball mentor, gave the members of the South Tacoma Boys Club a few pointers on sliding into base. The Boys Club had a new field and the Tacoma Times was sponsoring a summertime baseball clinic. The approximately 100 lucky boys who participated received lessons from the very best, including the Tacoma Tigers. Mr. Mullen appears to have slid into first base from the wrong direction; probably so the photographer could get a better shot of the action. TPL-5487 (T. Times 6/30/1947, pg. 9)
