Seattle's Asahi and Mikado baseball clubs merge
with the Seattle Dojo to form the Nippon Athletic Club. But
eighteen months later this union dissolved. "The youngsters who
pulled out" said the Seattle Times on Oct 31, 1926, "banded together
under the name of the Taiyo Club," and the split was so acrimonious that
the two teams refused to meet in city league football games. It
was rumored that should a game be scheduled, the Marines would have to
be called out to keep order because game officials would not be able to.
Al Hall became one of the first black coaches
leading the Nippon Athletic Club in the 1925 season.
