    Review of NYTimes articles shows a few mentions around the 4th of July of several games in New York and Chicago. The Waseda Baseball Team website's history page says this was their second tour of the US, and ended 17 victories, 36 losses, one cancellation (forfeit?). The trip lasted from March 28th until August 17th. Brief article on Japan baseball history, describing book "Through a Diamond". Baseball was controversial in Japan at the time. In August when the Waseda team returned, an historic editorial was printed by Nitobe Inazo, comparing baseball's deceipt to picking pockets. (He preferred the manliness and honesty of rugby)

    This photo is discussed in The Commons research thread. When I was digging around, I found that there were only a few (college) teams in Japan, so they often hosted international teams and traveled to play. I'd like to understand exactly how this counted as school credit... were they really learning English? Touring businesses and factories?
