A Korean youth, Kim Pak Soon, is taught one of the fundamental lessons of baseball -- "get your glove up, and keep the fingers out of the way." His instructor is S/Sgt. James W. Black, Chicago, Ill., member of the Fifth Air Force's 49th Fighter Bomber Wing. As warm weather approaches, members of the 49th plan to expand the sports program, even in war-torn Korea. (circa March 1951)
