Service Games, Hawaii

From Sega Retro

After doing some research for my term paper, I found this article (https://imgur.com/a/1qSHPH3) in some old newspapers thanks to newspapers.com. This article is from 1946 in December and as you can see, it claims that Service Games was started on the 1st day of September in that same year. Almost everywhere I checked, the claim was that the Service Games was started in 1945, not 1946. I know I am being very pedantic, but I do wish to know where does this information come from? -Konim96
