Need help identifying a Japanese set. From 1934? Babe Ruth/Gehrig visit?

[Forza_azzurri]

Does anyone know this set? Apparently from 1934, but I cannot find it in the Gary Engel Guide to Japanese baseball cards.

None have players' names, it just says a position or a play "Center", "batter" "Pitcher", "Slide" etc...

Has the paper/rock /scissors backs

That would have been the year of the MLB all-star team visit, and although no name is written and the images are crude, it looks like Ruth in the "batter" card.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Dunno, but thanks for the book lead.

Gary Engel does not include generic player sets in the guide. These cards were most likely produced in the late 1940s. The "batter" card is just a drawing of a lefthanded batter. There are various bromide card sets that actually depict the 1934 tour which include both Ruth's name and photo image on the cards. There are other menko cards issued later that actually say Babe Ruth as well.
