Description	Stars and Stripes newspaper, Feb. 21, 1948, with the headline "Colony in the Desert," reports that American employees of Aramco Oil play baseball and golf in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. An American colony had worked here since the 1930s, and it is likely baseball was played here prior to 1948.
