Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Lillard takes a swing in front of a packed stadium, the catcher and umpire. The Los Angeles Angels won the ball game 4-1. Photograph appears with the article, "Two Knockdowns Scored In Fight at Ball Park," Los Angeles Times, 03 June 1934: E1. Handwritten on negative: Gene Lillard Text from negative sleeve: LILLARD, GENE BASEBALL Text from newspaper caption: You'll Have to Admit This Is a Striking Picture And the gent doing the striking in the picture is none other than Gene Lillard, young Angel third-sacker, whose improved fielding and hitting is one of the many reasons why Jack Lelivelt's club is making a runaway affair of the Coast League race. Lillard was the Coast League home-run king with forty-three last season, but it looks as though he is going to lose his laurels to his team-mate, Frank Demaree, this year. Notice the muscles bulging in Gene's forearm as he goes for a long one. That's where he gets that tremendous power at the plate.
