Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 64, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 March 1912 — Baseball in Philippines. [ARTICLE]

Baseball in Philippines.

• Cuba and Japan are not the only foreign islands which baseball has captured. Col. Manuel Quezon, one of the two commissioners from the Philippines, said in the course of a recent address in Boston: The Philipino boy takes to your national game as a duck takes to water. In this sport the young men are encouraged by their elders, and it is a common thing to see from 4,000 to 5,000 persons witnessing /m important game. The public already understands the fine points of the game, which is, in fact, becoming the national game of the islands. We have several leagues and teams that can hold their own with the teams from the warships.
