# Japanese-style baseball

Japanese-style baseball, or rubber-ball baseball, (Japanese: 軟式野球, romanized: Nanshiki yakyū, lit. 'soft baseball') is a game that was created in Japan and is derived from baseball. It uses a hard rubber ball instead of a regular baseball made of leather. It has been rendered in English in a variety of ways, including nankyu baseball (nankyu means 'soft ball' in Japanese), nanshiki baseball and rubber baseball. In a narrow sense, Japanese-style baseball is a game that uses a hollow rubber ball, and in a broad sense, it includes a semi-hard baseball where a hard ball's outer coating is replaced with rubber. In contrast, the ball used in softball is most often leather but is larger than a regular baseball.
Other than the use of a different ball, the rules of Japanese-style baseball and regular baseball are the same. However, the difference in the ball has a distinctive effect on the playing style and equipment, and also changes the way the players use their body.

## History

During the Meiji era (1868–1912), baseball introduced from the United States became established in Japan in national competitions for secondary schools, high schools, and colleges, and children enjoyed playing baseball using hard tennis balls. However, tennis balls had the drawback of being difficult to use due to problems with their durability and speed, and the number of people playing the sport gradually declined. In 1919, Toshin Rubber, a company based in Kobe, sold the world's first rubber baseball. As a result, the number of young people playing baseball started to increase again. In the following year, the Japan Association of Youth Baseball (大日本少年野球協会, Dai-nippon shōnen yakyū-kyōkai) was established in Kobe and a full-fledged national tournament for youth baseball was held. Then in 1925, a man called Haruno Yokoi (横井 春野, Yokoi Haruno) formed the same organization in Tokyo.

## Ball types

The ball has undergone a number of revisions, but the current dimensions were set out in December 2016 by the Japan Rubber Baseball Association (公益財団法人全日本軟式野球連盟) and the Baseball Ball Manufacturers Association (野球ボール工業会). Two types are specified: type M (major) and type J (junior). Type M has a diameter of 71.5–72.5 millimetres (2.81–2.85 in). Meanwhile, type J has a diameter of 68.5–69.5 millimetres (2.70–2.74 in).
In comparison, a regulation leather baseball is 73–75 millimetres (2.9–3.0 in) in diameter. An 11-inch ball used in softball has a diameter of about 89 millimetres (3.5 in).

## Global popularity

Japanese-style baseball is often played by university teams, and there is a World University Japanese-style Baseball Tournament that takes place outside Japan. It was held in Guam in 2019. In addition, the International Boys Nankyu Baseball World Championship takes place annually.
Cuba has its own version of Japanese-style baseball, and a similar type of baseball is also played in Taiwan.

After finishing third in third in the Star Trophy Series on 1970 and 1971, he finally won the Star Trophy in 1972 which led to him being selected for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany. After being part of an 80-mile breakaway, he initially finished 5th in the road race, ahead of teammate Phil Edwards won the bunch sprint to finish 6th. However, after Spanish rider Jaime Huelamo failed a drug test, he was later moved up to 4th.

## Professional

Struggling to fund his racing career at a time when strict amateur rules prevented any kind of cash prize however small, Bayton found himself having to turn professional, joining Raleigh for the 1973 season with his friend Dave Lloyd. The pair came to the notice of the Italian media with an epic 100 mile breakaway lasting five hours at the Milan–San Remo race which led to an invitation to the Baracchi Trophy two-up time trial. Together they finished third behind Felice Gimondi and Martin Rodriguez in front of 50,000 fans in the Brescia football stadium.
Bayton turned down a move to the Belgian-based Watney's squad in 1974, regretting it by the end of season when he left Raleigh to work at the Russell Hobbs factory in the West Midlands with the intention to retire from pro-racing. However his career was saved by Hugh Porter who convinced him to join him at Bantel with whom he finished 3rd in the national road race.
In 1982, Bayton finally won the national criterium title at Newport in South Wales, beating Moducel rider Phil Corley in a sprint after the pair had lapped the rest of the field.

# Nils Jönsson (Oxenstierna)

Nils Jönsson Oxenstierna (1390s–1450s) was a Swedish nobleman. During the Kalmar Union, he was co-regent of Sweden, together with his brother Bengt Jönsson Oxenstierna (1390s–1450s) from January to June 1448. He was a member of the Privy Council of Sweden in 1432, Castellan (hövitsman) at Borgholm Castle in 1436, Stäket in 1438, and Nyköping Castle in 1442. Dubbed as knight by King Christopher of Bavaria following his coronation in 1441.

## Biography

Oxenstierna was son of important nobles and landowners: his mother Märta Finvidsdotter (Frössviksätten) was the heiress of the noble Frössvik family, and his father Jöns Bengtsson Oxenstierna (died 1396–99) was the son and one of the heirs of Ingeborg Nilsdotter (from family that is called the earliest Sparre in later historiography and genealogy), heiress of Ängsö and Salsta. Jöns Bengtsson inherited Frössvik (in Uppland) from his mother and Ängsö (in Västmanland) from his father. His brother, Bengt Jönsson Oxenstierna, was the father of Jöns Bengtsson (Oxenstierna), Archbishop of Uppsala (1417–1467).
In 1418 he acquired an islet and the founded the estate Djursholm. There he built a manor house, later the site of Djursholm Castle (Djursholms slott) which dates from the 15th century but did not get its current appearance until the 17th century.
From his two earlier marriages, Oxenstierna did not succeed to have any surviving male heir. His third wife Katarina Karlsdotter bore a number of children of whom half died without marriage and issue. His surviving son Erik Nilsson Oxenstierna (d. 1470) did not have any children.
Three of Oxenstierna's daughters married noblemen of the Vasa family. Kerstin who married Nils of Hjulsta, continues a more permanent issue. A portion of Oxenstierna's properties passed ultimately to others than his direct descendants, as inheritances through his daughters-in- and sons-in-law.

# Huab River

The Huab River is an ephemeral river in the Kunene Region of north-western Namibia. Its source is southeast of Kamanjab, from where it flows westwards through Mopane savanna until it reaches the Skeleton Coast and the Atlantic Ocean. Inflows of the Huab are Klein-Omaruru, Sout, Aba-Huab, Ongwati and Klip. Huab's catchment area (including its tributaries) is estimated to be between 14,800 and 16,465 km$^2$ (6,357 sq mi), and includes the town of Khorixas as well as the settlements Kamanjab, Fransfontein, and Anker. The Twyfelfontein World Heritage Site is located on the banks of the Aba Huab.
The scenery is remarkably varied and dramatic: camelthorn, mopane and ana trees line the sides of the riverbed, huge sandy valleys are dotted with gigantic boulder outcrops and rocky hills, red-rock mountains punctuate the horizon, and massive sand dunes studded with black volcanic rocks make the elephants walking below them seem tiny.
The Huab is well known for its Desert elephant population which endangers farming activities but is also a potential tourist attraction.
