Events - June 1 to June 15

June 1 - Large scale protests in Paris and Ohio lead to arrests. No LoN players are involved, despite the latter being localized to an area right near the Cincinnati Reds' place of practice.

June 2 - The May Fourth Movement launches in Peking. No Shanghai players are involved directly but it is considered a major cultural event.

June 3 - A general strike occurs in Winnipeg, but no Royal Canadian Mounted Baseballists are involved.

June 11 - UCLA is founded (cultural event for Cincinnati, the westernmost US franchise).

June 14 - Einstein's theory of general relativity is tested/confirmed by Arthur Eddington's observation of a total solar eclipse in Principe and by Andrew Crommelin in Sobral, Ceará, Brazil (cultural event for England and Germany).
