fused to donate $4,000 to put
baseball in the Olympics for the
first time.

baseball, the majors simply did not
see how they could afford to foster
Olympic baseball at this time.
It was the belief that there is
plenty of missionary work to be
done in baseball right here in
this country without seeking for
eign fields.
