American league reports returned

Since the tour began at Cincinnati
a little more than four. months ago
forty-six games have been played
between the globe-touring teams and
four with native teams in Japan and
four" games against the Giants. Nc
Graws men won twenty, and two
ended in ties-at Los Angeles. Cal,

SoX won one, and a combination of
players from both teams won the
other.
OF the fifty games played thirty
one were played in the United States
and nineteen, including the four
games against native teams, were
played abroad. Rain interfered with
only three games scheduled before
