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 .

    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.
