his life would be spared as long

on him will tell you. He throws
with an easy underhanded motion,
and when you ask him why he
explains it simply and wisely: "Tm
right-handed throWer and usually
facing the wrong way when field
a ground ball around first. If I
lifted my arm for the throw the
runner would have a couple of
steps on me. I'd never catch him
that way"
Actually, Easter can rifle the ball
with the best of them for, further
paralleling Babe Ruth, he was a
pitcher for the Homestead GrayS
but in view of his mighty home run
blasts he was switched to a posi-
ton where he could play every day.
Indeed, he was one of the better
hurlers in the Negro National
League, and last year won 4 and
lost 1. His only loss came when an
error by his centerfielder, Luis
Marquee, now playing with the
Portland Beavers of the Pacific
Coast League, allowed three un-
earned runs to clatter across the
plate.
More fantastic than his fielding,
however, is Casters speed afoot. In
the field Luke ambles around with
the relaxation that has always been
the earmark of the truly great
athlete who galvanizes into action
only when necessary. Looking at
him you'd think this giant of man
could hardly move fast enough to
get out of his own way. But there
are players and managers in the
Pei who will tell you Easter is
Incredibly fast, probably one of the
fastest men now playing baseball
anywhere in the country.
Lee (Jeep) Handley, formerly of
the Pittsburgh Pirates and the San
Diego Padres, and currently play
ing for Los Angeles, himself one
of the speediest men in the circuit,
claims unhestitatingly that Easter
is the fastest man in the league.
Hell outrun any of us by so far it
wouldn't be funny" insists the Jeep.
Arizona sun., 1949-06-24

The Pacific Coast pennant race
is little more than two months old,
and even though Easter has already
taken the league by storm, it is
still long and hot summer ahead,
and there can be no real guarantee
that he will continue his sensational
play.
But however it turns out there
is no question at all that there is
something quite epic about the man
and his exploits which mark him
as an extraordinary different ath-
lete; the kind whomakes an ap-
pearance once every generation or
so.
A hero, a man capable of Great
ing legends and folklore, often Is
big first of all; like Paul Bunyan,
who pulled up trees by the roots,
and walked across mountains and
carried cows under his arms; and
like that great folklore hero of the
Negro people, John Henry the pile
driver, who used two hammers
weighing 20 pounds apiece and sur
passed a steam drill in driving holes
through solid rock.
Easter has the physique with
which the legend begins. And he
has the ability to do the seemingly
impossible.

Editors NOte:-This is the
third of a series of four articles
running in the Arizona Sun tell
ing of the sensational rise of
"Lulxe Easter to baseball star
dOm.)
Woods, thinking he had shaken
up Easter enough to unnerve him,
came in with a fast ball across the
eyes, hoping for the third strike.
When I last saw the ball it was
sailing clear across the Sante Fe
railroad tracks which run parallel
to the right field fence at Lane
Field.
Ano tn er such occasion took
place a short while ago in Portland.
In this game the Beavers Ad Liska
threw at Easter no less than eight
times, the last two pitches sailing
behind Luke's head! (ThiS is the
nastiest and most vicious type of
dustoff because the hitter, trained
to fall away from close ball, is
apt to back right into a pitch be-
hind him and get hit on the ear
or elsewhere on the skull.)
Well, the count was 2 and 2 when
Liska came in again. I'll let L. H.
Gregory, veteran Portland baseball
writer, describe it from here:
They'll be talking about that
fabulous home run of Casters for
years.

A Story Of Luke casters
Rise in Big League Baseball

"It was a high drive almost
straight out from the plate over
the pitchers head. It cleared the
fence in deepest right center by
the margin of a three-story build
ing; and, carrying on, was per-
ceived to bounce on the roof Of
the gray foundry building there
and carom on across it and out of
sight.
1.-THE angle where the fences in
right and center field meet is 373
feet from the plate-so this ball
must have carried at least $50 feet,
perhaps considerably more. At any
rate, it was the mightiest homer
in the memory of any Vaughn
Street customer"
Easter, by the way, also thinks
that really was a good one, and it
gave him his biggest thrill since
he's been playing baseball because
he was in fury over the deliberate
and cynical manner in which Liska
had thrown at him.
Tens of thousands of words have
been written about Casters hitting,
and he is, indeed, a fabulous hitter
especially in the clutch-but his
laundering bat tends to obscure
the fact that he is brilliant all
around baseball star. At first I've
seen him make plays I haven't seen
since Dolph Camilli, formerly of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, finished his
