There were six games played at Jingu Stadium during this historic Tour. The red number in the upper left corner indicates that this ticket was actually used for the second game, played on November 5th. The U.S. team hit a total of four home runs in this game, including one by Lou Gehrig and another by Jimmie Foxx. Joe Cascarella was the winning pitcher in this 5-1 victory for the U.S. The ticket is punched (used). In addition, the word, "Yomiuri" (Tour sponsor), is punched in Japanese hiragana text using small dots, as is the case for many 1934 tickets. This ticket was removed from a scrapbook and has some paper residue attached to the blank back.
