"War-time baseball in Hawaii 1942-45: The Big Leaguers Hit the Beach" - Frank Ardolino, p.42

Hawaii was under martial law for almost three laws.

There's some seriously faulty information - "Japan banned baseball in Aug 1942" - then why did NPB continue until 1944? "Hawaii League founded in 1890 and lasted for seven decades" - fp - it did not exactly continuously operate.
