Well this was likely an actual Old Timers Game with one team of Orioles and the other various Old Timers. A quick search I found such a game in Baltimore on 8-8-1931 with Wagner participating. Will check to see if there is a box score (upload failed for the one article I have found so far)

"Nick Altrock and Al Schacht, comedians de luxe, will be the masters of ceremonies."

Other said to be on hand for this game:

Jimmy Collins, Ed Walsh, Bill Bradley, Ned Hanlon, Steve Brodie, Joe Kelley, Jack Doyle, Buck Herzog, Clark Griffith, Red Kronau, Alan Russell, Bill Rapp, Gene McCann, Harry Frank, "Runt" Walsh...guessing Ed Walsh Jr, George Maisel, Buck Freeman, Bernard Gough who was a bat boy but guessing became Magistrate of Baltimore?

A blurb from the New York Times mentions the game and identifies a handful of participants, all but one of whom is listed in this thread--- Steve Brodie. I leave it to you all to find him.
