From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, May 15, 1921: Yesterday afternoon, a large crowd at Irwin Field in Irvington watched the baseball team of Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, trounce the Butler College nine in a speedy contest, 2 to 1. With the game devoid of spectacular hitting and fielding, the work of the opposing moundsmen stood out as the real feature. The visiting Japanese team was given a warm reception upon arriving in Indianapolis and was paraded in automobiles through the downtown streets. After being received at city hall by Mayor Charles Jewett, the team was driven to Butler for a meal in the college cafeteria. Before game time, baseballs were dropped from an airplane piloted by John Wamsley, a Butler student. Coach Page presented the Waseda team with a silver cup on behalf of the college before the game began.
