The All Americans played their last game on Japanese soil in Utsunomiya, a small city 60 miles north of Tokyo.  In recognition of his untiring efforts throughout the tour, Ruth named Sotaro Suzuki as the game’s manager.  Suzuki was apprehensive as national hero Eiji Sawamura would start for All Nippon.  If the young hurler pitched well and the Americans relaxed and lost, everybody would blame him.  The day was cold so Suzuki set up a charcoal burner in the dugout for warmth.  His apprehension grew as fans passed the Americans sake bottles and the ballplayers, who had adapted well to Japanese drinking customs, heated the liquor over the burner.  Despite the alcohol, and a dropped fly ball by an inebriated Earl Averill, Suzuki had little to worry about.  The Americans pounded out nine runs in the first four innings.  After two home runs by Bing Miller and one each by Earl Averill and Charlie Gehringer, the All Americans went home 14-5 winners.  The players then returned to the Imperial Hotel, collected their luggage, and left for Tokyo Station to catch a train for the port of Kobe where they would board the Empress of Canada.  At the station, they said tearful goodbyes to Japanese fans and friends and the Babe promised to try to return.
