A souvenir programme for a baseball match between Australian Cricketers and a Transvaal Team played at Wanderers 7th March 1936, 8 pages, good condition, mild fold and one staple missing with no loss; sold together with a Bert Oldfield signed typescript letter addressed to Reuters and dated 23rd April 1936 (2) After the conclusion of the tour to South Africa the Australians agreed to play a baseball match at the Wanderers against a side drawn from the Transvaal cricket team which included several Springboks. The match was held to support the H.B. Cameron Memorial Fund (Famous South African cricket all rounder). This is a most unusual item as the programme indicates this was ''the first baseball game to take place in South Africa against an Australian team.''
