Description	The Buffalo (NY) Express, March 28, 1909, says that Americans in the wilds of upper "Burmah", employees of a big oil company, have formed two "nines" and play baseball all the time. Burma has been renamed to Myanmar.

Comment	At a guess, this is the original of the note in Spalding's The National Game about American oil workers playing baseball in Burma. The Spalding phot collection, NYPL, has a photo of what may be this team, said to be employees of the Rangoon Oil Co., in "Yenamgyat, Upper Burmah." This location is probably Yenangyaung.
