Baseball In N. Guinea
p. 56 · Read in the full issue
THE United States continue to conquer the world.
We who stay at home imagine that the game of baseball is something peculiarly American. Actually, it has spread in recent years to Australia, South Africa and New Guinea.
Baseball was taken to Rabaul, in New Guinea, a few years ago, by Mr. R. M.
Youlden, a former player in Victoria, and now the Rabaul Baseball Association has half-a-dozen keen baseball teams, and a season which extends from October to March. Anyone who likes to see the spectacular game keenly played can always find entertainment in Rabaul in the evenings and week-ends, not far from the leading hotel.
It is expected that New Guinea base ball players will take part in an inter national series of games that is being arranged.
Mrs. Feldt, wife of Lieut.-Commander Eric Feldt. R.A.N., recently arrived in Port Moresby to join her husband. Lieut.- Commander Feldt and Mrs. Feldt were formerly well known residents of the Mandated Territory of New Guinea.
