From"The Worker" Sep25, 1897😀
"Australians have always been lauded by visitors for their hospitality. The Yankee baseballers who were here eight or nine years ago were "right royally" feted.

It would have been thought that gratitude alone would have impelled them to do the Australian baseballers a good turn when they were in the States. Yet when our boys got there, they found themselves debited with the cost of the drag in which two or three Yanks had driven down to the quay to meet them !"
