National game great pastime for soldiers in overseas camps
Army reports show baseball boosting morale among troops in the Philippines and elsewhere. General Bell forms an athletic council to unify amateur sports across regiments, with reps from coast artillery and other corps. Major Pierce notes foreign interest during the Tientsin regimental championship and the Giant White Sox tour. International athletic meets foster goodwill among Americans, Russians, Japanese, French, Germans, Austrians, and Italians, with Americans achieving multiple top finishes in 400-yard and relay events. Boxing also thrives among British and other regiments, framed by colorful uniforms and ringside activity.
