Description	The Columbus (NE) Telegram, Oct. 1, 1940, has a report from a hometown carpenter who served on Wake Island the last 6 months, and who said that baseball and tennis are recreations for the men stationed there. Darden, "Guest of the Emperor" p. 66 suggests that US POWs played baseball there during World War II. Wake was uninhabited till 1935, when an airbase started to be built there.
