Description	Kuntz, "Baseball Fiends and Flying Machines," p. 71, says that Al Lawson, formerly a pitcher for an Easton, PA team, traveled to Cape Colony in 1897 and while in Cape Town organized several baseball games. Klein, "Growing the Game," p. 202 says the game was played in Cape Town in the 1930s by American Mormons residing there.
