Description
This is a photograph of Fr. Lane [third from the left, back row] and Bro. Michail [first on the right] with the South China baseball team [all Chinese]. The others are members of the team "and winners of the Hong Kong 1924 league, together with a team picked from the rest of their rival teams, including the Hong Kong team (Americans, Filipino, Portugese, etc.]"
Born in Massachusetts, Bishop Lane came to Maryknoll in 1913 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1920. In 1923 he went to Hong Kong to become the procurator of that mission. Two years later he went north and inaugurated the Fushun mission in Manchuria. In 1932 Monsignor Lane was appointed Prefect Apostolic and in 1940 Vicar Apostolic. He was consecrated a Bishop in 1940. After Pearl Harbor, Bishop Lane was interned by the Japanese in Fushun. Within a year of prepatriation, Bishop Lane was elected to be the third Superior General of Maryknoll. His tenure led to the greatest expansion at home and abroad for Maryknoll.
