The tall man in the middle of the back row of this August 1921 team photo of the Cumberland Cubs is Clarence Smith. One of Cumberland's outstanding baseball pitchers of a half-century ago, he was better known as, "Cannonball" or "Bullet-Ball" due to his reputation as a fast-ball hurler. He was the strike-out king and mound ace for John Brown's "Cumberland Cubs". John Brown's Cubs played the best black teams of the early 1920's, including the Homestead Grays, Baltimore Black Sox, Harrisburg Giants, and Pittsburgh Orioles.
