[JAPANESE BASEBALL]. Sports Page from the Osaka Asahi Newspaper with 12 Photos of an Exhibition Baseball Game. [Osaka: Osaka Asahi, October 6, 1913]. One large double-sided page (21 x 15 ½”) with an account and photos of an exhibition game between Meiji University and Boston University. Text in Japanese. This article not only describes the game, player stats, and the crowd as well (occasionally poking fun at the crowd). Toned, photos lightly faded, two margins neatly trimmed, tape reinforcement at upper margin, a few short tears at upper margin. Very good. A rare early newspaper account of a Japanese baseball game with an American team. From the Mark Rucker Collection.
