Questions about 1933 R337 Eclipse Import set

[Teamsets4u]

I was surfing around and stumbled on this set.

It has got to be one of the ugliest sets I have ever seen but I do have a couple question I can not find with the help of google.


The checklist shows a Wilson Clark in the set.
Who the hell was he? He is not listed in Baseball Almanac

Also the checklist I found has a card called Washington Harris Makes Home Run. I can not find a Washington Harris either. Is that Harris for the Senators?

And lastly the card A safe slide to the home plate. who is on this card?

I would like to see pics if possible of these.

I presume the card is of William Watson (Watty) Clark

Harris is most likely HOFer Bucky Harris of Washington AL.
But he last played/managed for them in 1928.

The expert on this very tough set is Dan Mckee.

The R337 Harris #412 card is not Bucky Harris - rather, it is Dave Harris, a part-time outfielder who played for the Washington Senators from 1930 to 1934. He was frequently used as a pinch hitter, leading the A.L. in both pinch-hit at-bats and pinch hits in 1932, which I assume accounts for the narrative "... and a dangerous hitter in the pinch." on the back of this 1933 card.

My 2008 edition of the Standard Catalog of BB Cards erroneously lists card #412 as being Bucky Harris. I don't know if this error has been corrected in more recent editions.

The correction is noted in my desk copy and will be reflected in the 2012 edition.
