ABSTRACT
In the pools and lakes of these parks and along the embankments of streams and rivers and tidal canals the bare-limbed children paddle about in full enjoyment of the water. Baseball, the sport of Young America, is quite as much the sport of Young Japan, and a neighborhood nine of boys none of them nine years old will be a seen lustily playing the game and shouting in childish treble: "Strike one!" or " Ball two!" or "Atta boy! " They do not know the English language, but they do know baseball lingo, and its language is universal wherever the game is played.
