SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. THE ag-
eregation of star baseball players from
the East made their first appearance in
California to-day at Recreation Park
and The All-Americas played all around
the men from Baltimore. The day was
an ideal one for baseball, balny and
without air stirring and the size cf the
crowd was only restricted by the limit
of the grounds. Every seat in the
grand stand and in the bleachars was
taken and the fringe of humanity sur
rounded the entire field, greatly inter-
ferfng with the fielding of the players
and partly responsible for the large
score. The grounds, too, We're very
rough, having been used for football
when soft and slushy. Doctor Pond,
for the Baltimores did not prove much
of a puzzle for the nine selected from
the cream of the National League. They
batted him hard and often and Ifter
the sixth inning the crowd set up a con-
tinuous howl for Joe Corbett, but the
latter did not respond.
All the old California favor;tes, name
ly Lange, Reitz, Clarke and Nash re-
ceived warm welcome from the H.,
900 or more spectators.
"Bill" Lange was fairly smCthered
with floral tributes, the most attractive
Of which was a large shield of white
roses with the words Little Eva" in
carnations. Lange responded by lin
ing out the first ball pitched against
the center field fence for two bases
The fielding of the All-Americas was
clean and snappy; the only feature of
interest in the playing of the Balt-
mores was Jennings quick and clean
fielding. He made a remarkable double
play, catching a straight liner by jump
ing in the air and throwing the batter
out at first. Donahue's work behind
the bat for Baltimore was very LOW
Following is the score:
Baltimore Z, hits 13, errors 6; ALL
Americas 16, hits 10, errors 3.
