Am unsure the date of the postcard but my mom brought it back when she visited the orient and picked it up at a small flea market there .. all i know about the stadium is that 1934 Babe Ruth , Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx played there for an event called the " Far Eastern Games " and they played on the all-star team .

its an old stadium it seems was built around 1927 and still in use cept for when it was used for a battle during the 2nd world war and much damage was done
The stadium was built in 1934. And is being rebuilt in 2019
was surprised anything was left standing after the battle took place inside during the war . so babe ruth , gehrig and foxx played there the year it was built then for one of its earliest games. took a while to build then. they started construction in 1927 and not finished building till 1934.
ah ok took 7 yrs to build and first game was held in 1934 .
