Tribune caption on the back, January 20, 1950, "Augie Galan, who recently signed an Oakland Acorn contrct after 16 years as a major leaguer, is spending his free moments instructing some of the rookies who may make the grade with the local Pacific Coast League entry this year. In the top photo, Galan is giving pointers in throwing to (left to right) Done Fracchia, Lil Arnerich and Allan Maul. In the lower photo, Galan is imparting to Fracchia (left) the necessity of keeping his eye on the ball through the medium of some 'pepper' practice.- Tribune photo." Handwritten on the back above the caption, "Don Fracchia- Augies Galan." Photo shows Galan and Fracchia, both wearing Oaks uniforms, standing side by side and sort of hunched over. Fracchia is wearing a mitt on his left hand and is catching something. Galan is also wearing a mitt on his left hand but it is resting on his left knee and he is gesturing to Fracchia with his right (telling him something). In the background is a fence bordering the field and the empty bleachers behind the fence.
