Credited to Loo Tai Sing and dated 1913, this composition records a Chinese baseball team's tour of the United States, with players drawn from Honolulu, where baseball was a popular pastime among young men of many backgrounds. The tour took the team to mainland cities at a time when Chinese Americans faced widespread exclusion and discrimination, so a team portrait of this kind also carries a quiet claim to public presence. Copyrighted in 1914, the montage is worth studying for its arrangement of the players as a unified team and for the way it frames a cross-country sporting journey.
