1912 Olympic Games - Americans vs. Swedes
Staying on the Olympic theme, I found these pages in The Olympic Games, Stockholm 1912 edited by James E. Sullivan. An American team played a Swedish team on July 15, 1912.
The next day two teams composed of American athletes played an exhibition game.

Exhibition Baseball at the 1912 Olympics
In 1912 the Olympic Games were held in Stockholm, Sweden. Here are some of the articles in the American press about the exhibition baseball games that were played. Note that the first two stories seem to have come from the same wire service, but were modified by the local editors. I find it culturally interesting that H.P. Drew, the sprinter from Springfield, Mass., was referred to as 'colored' by The Washington (D.C.) Times and as a 'negro' by The Tacoma Times.
