An Aug. 20, 1912, Cleveland Plain Dealer article, posted at Agate Type, about a game between the Cuban Stars and a semi-pro team, Tellings. Bombin Pedroso, referred to as “Pedrosa,” struck out six and “had the Tellings completely baffled.” Jose Mendez played right field and made a running catch of a line drive that “was the feature play.” The next day, Mendez was to pitch against Tellings, which was trying to secure then-University of Michigan’s George Sisler to pitch. But according to Agate Type, “Sisler didn’t show up, and Méndez was ‘attacked with acute indigestion’ …  and couldn’t play” in the 3-1 Stars victory.
