Thank you for the interest in our auction--we hope everybody has found a few lots which they'd like to add to their collections. I'm attaching an image of a page from The New York Times covering the Addie Joss benefit game which makes use of the "All Star" terminology. Fidelity to fact is our greatest concern when it comes to cataloging our auctions, but we are always grateful to be notified of the need for a correction should that be the case. If there is indeed another baseball event from 1911 which utilized the term "All Stars" and featured Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators, Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers and Joe Jackson of the Cleveland Indians, we will make note of it in an addendum. Please do chime in if any of you are aware of such a game. We are not.
