Description	Matson News, 1939, p. 26: "In Suva last trip the SS Monterey nine played a baseball team from the Royal Australian Air Force, and was bombed..." The SS Monterey was a Matson Line cruise ship. Baseball was played in Fiji during WWII as well. See Lowry, "Fortress Fiji." Cronin, "Under the Southern Cross" writes that the Americal Division had baseball and softball leagues when stationed on Viti Levu in 1943.
