Baseball in Japan taught by Yankee coach Lincoln Park
Chicago, April 21. Professor Iso Abe, the so called father of Japanese baseball, brings the Waseda university nine to the United States this spring as the farthest east a Japanese ball team has traveled. Merrifield of the University of Chicago praises Abe as the initiator of baseball in Japan and a beloved public figure. He helped develop the Waseda squad years ago and notes Abe’s goal to show Japanese youth can play baseball at top levels with equal opportunities. Abe, a Yale alumnus and liberal Christian thinker, speaks English fluently and has declined honors in Japan to stay focused on education and athletics.
