Japan's top-flight soccer league is ready to resume its season within weeks of the country's pro baseball league starting play. Japanese news agency Kyodo reports that league matches will resume on June 27 or July 4. That is also the plan when baseball begins play on June 19. The J-League started its season on Feb. 21 but was forced to stop play a few days later. Kyodo reports the J-League will try to limit travel, with plans for teams in the same geographical region playing each other.-AP
