The Japan Weekly Chronicle called Sunday’s game “a dull sort of affair.”  It was another split squad match with Ruth’s men (Warstler, Karita, Ruth, Foxx, Averill, Nidegawa, Nakajima, Berg and Aoshiba pitching) taking on Miller’s men (Mihara, Horio, Gehringer, Gehrig, McNair, Miller, Yajima, Hayes, and Brown on the mound).  To attract a crowd, the All Americans held rematch of the longest home run contest between Ruth, Gehrig, Averill, and Foxx.  This time, Foxx won with a 396 foot shot, but the contest failed to attract a large crowd.  Only 30,000 showed up and there were “sizable gaps” in the stands.

As the fourth game in as many days, the players looked tired.  They played mechanically, just going through the motions.  Ruth’s ankle had recovered enough for him to play but he fared poorly at the plate, gaining a single in three at bats and flying out with bases loaded in the sixth.  Once again, the All Americans failed to hit a home run—the last one had been Gehrig’s game winner off Sawamura in Shizuoka.  But to nearly everybody’s surprise, 19-year-old Usaburo Shintomi, who had joined the All Nippon straight from Kokura Kogyo High School and was playing third base for Miller’s team, whistled a line drive into the left field stands off Aoshiba.  It was only the second Japanese home run of the series.  To add spice to the listless game, the local promoters convinced Lefty Gomez to pitch the ninth inning for both teams.  He set both sides down easily.

After dinner, the players boarded a southbound sleeper train to Shimonoseki, a city at the southwestern tip of the main Japanese island of Honshu.
