He tells them a sharp soldier is the best one"); 0747 shows Newcombe standing in field with two baseball players (typed label on verso: "Newk explains the fine points of the fast ball to two members of his battalion baseball team. The ex-Brooklyn ace spends many of his off-duty hours coaching the team"); 0748 shows Newcombe standing before platoon of men at ease (typed label on verso: "Discussions of Army life are of primary interest to the new recruits. Here Don tells them of his own experiences during basic training.")
