http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/259967212

A collection of personal observations by George Axelson while on the 1913 - 1914 World Tour with the Chicago White Sox and the New York Giants. In November 1913, a group of Chicago White Sox and New York Giants players left the US on an around the world tour that would take them four months to complete. Starting in Tokyo and ending in London, the Giants and White Sox played each other in Japan, China, Philippines, Australia, Ceylon, Egypt, France, and England. George Axelson documents this tour between December 1913 and February 16, 1914 in writing and his article in Harper's Weekly of April 1914 summarizes the tour.
