"ALL NATIONS TO TOUR THIS STATE AGAIN - World's Famous Baseball Team Plans Trip Through the Northwest. - The All-Nation's baseball team, known in every section of the United States, will again tour North Dakota this summer, according to information received yesterday from Manager J. E. Gaul of Kansas City, Missouri, where the members of the team are now in spring training. For the past five seasons this team has made a trip through this state and during this time, has played in practically every city and village of any size. According to Gaul, the organization is faster and stronger than ever with Donaldson, the famous negro pitcher, in the best condition of his career. Donaldson has been playing around Los Angeles for the past several months, clashing with some of the fastest league clubs in the west, but only lost two out of 24 games. Others who are still playing with the All Nations are Jose Mendez, Cuban pitcher, Hernandez, Torriente, Frank Blukoi Blattner, and many others. Gaul has already picked his team and has 76 fast men on the utility list, that he will be glad to furnish to any North Dakota nine that is looking for material. Clubs wanting dates with the All Nations will locate the squad in Kansas City, in care of the Schmelzer Arms Co.

"ALL NATIONS BEAT INDIANS. - The Schmelzer All-Nations took the Nebraska Indians into camp for the second time Sunday afternoon at Association Park by a 5 to 4 count. The Indians scored all their tallies in the opening round, but, after that, John Donaldson, the noted Negro hurler, made them look helpless at the bat. The All-Nations scored their first counters in the fourth frame, when Rogan tripled with a runner on and a moment later he stole home. They put over two more runs in the fifth frame and the winning tally was made in the sixth. Donaldson struck out 12 and Myers, his opponent, whiffed 11."

"The Schmelzer's All Nations in the final game of the series yesterday completely outclassed the Johnson's Giants in every department and defeated them by the score of 11 to 1. Donaldson, the famous negro pitcher, who holds a record of winning sixty out of sixty-five games he pitched last season, went on the mound for the visitors. His twisters so completely baffled his opponents, the management of the All Nations jerked him. On the other hand, the All Nations got to Harrison in the early part of the game and clouted him so hard he was forced to give way to McClelland. A good crowd saw the game. Batteries: All Nations - Donaldson, Mendez, and Coleman, Beck. Giants - Harrison, McClelland, and Jones."

"Simpson sluggers almost knocked the All Nations off the map in their first game of the two-day series for the benefit of Company M at Oakdale park, Tuesday. The Kansans brought four-ply wallops in their bat bags and Schmelzers of various nationalities were running like jackrabbits in the three gardens. The result of continued offensive and bum defensive on the part of the Simpson and the All Nations respectively was 9 to 3 in favor of the Jayhawks. The same games played this afternoon."
August 29, 1917
Salina, KS
"The Schmelzer All Nations of Kansas City yesterday turned the tables on the Simpson, Kansas club by trimming the Simpsonites in the second and closing game of the two teams' series in Salina, by a score of 12 to 1. John Donaldson, negro hurler, was on the mound for the All Nations. He allowed six hits and struck out 12 men. Mike Flannigan, Simpson pitcher was hit freely at all times and his support wasn't of the best. Besides the pitching of Donaldson the feature of the game was the hitting of Torriente, the All Nations' Cuban outfields. Torriente, in five trips to the plate, hit a home run, a triple, a double and a single. The Cuban's triple was was easily good for second base on rounding the turn and was forced to go back to the bag before continuing his journey about the paths. The batteries: Simpson - Flannigan and Rigsby. All Nations - Donaldson and Coleman."

"ALL-NATIONS BEAT A.B.C.'S. - Donaldson Allows Negro Players Only Two Hits. - The Schmelzer All-Nations won the first of a four-game series from the champion Negro team, the A.B.C.'s of Indianapolis, Sunday afternoon, at Association Park, 4 to 0. John Donaldson, Colored pitcher of the All-Nations, did the mound work and he had the Indianapolis team on his staff during the entire game. Only one of the visitors reached third base. Donaldson allowed but two hits, one in the seventh inning and the other in the eighth. He struck out seven. The All-Nations didn't score until the sixth frame, when they put one counter across the plate. In the seventh they tallied three times off the delivery of Williams. The fielding of Olson, Mendez, and Lyons was a feature of the game. The same teams will play again Monday at 3 o'clock. Mendez or Yendes will work for the All-Nations and Gatewood for the Indianapolis aggregation."

"The ABCs club of Indianapolis stopped the Schmelzers All Nations in their race for the 4th National semi-pro title yesterday by trouncing the locals 8 to 4. This makes the series even to date and it will take all four games of the series to decide the championship."
Kansas City, MO
"A.B.C.'s WON SECOND OF SERIES. - On Monday the Indianapolis A.B.C.'s gave a demonstration of their true class by beating the All Nations by the score of 8 to 1. The game was slow and uneventful and was cinched by the Taylorites at the beginning. The All Nations promised that Tuesday's game will be a humdinger in which the Cuban Mendez will be pitted against Charleston of the A.B.C.'s."
September 18, 1917
Kansas City, MO
"The third game of the All Nations Indianapolis series at Association Park resulted in a one-sided contest yesterday, with the All Nations romping home by a score of 3 to 1. Mendez, the All-Nations' star pitcher, fanned 10 of the dusky athletes from Indianapolis and not a man reached third base until the ninth inning, when Lyons of the All-Nations missed an easy fly in right field. Mendez deserves all the credit for winning the game as he let the ABCs down with two hits and this is remarkable when it is considered that Mendez plays every day at his regular position of shortstop."
September 19, 1917
Kansas City, MO
"The All-Nations opened the series with the ABC club yesterday when the locals met defeat in 12 innings, 4 to 2. John Donaldson allowed only (illegible) hits but errors of his mates let in the winning runs."
Kansas City, MO
"The final and last game between the All-Nations and A.B.C.'s was played Wednesday at the Association park. The management made is ladies' day, and more then three thousand fans were in the stands when the umpire called to play. Our sporting editor has no hesitation in saying this is the most thrilling, exciting and hotly contested game of baseball played here this season. We shall not attempt to elaborate but simply say that the game was not won until the last man was out in the last half of the eleventh inning. The final score was 4 to 3 (11 innings) in favor of the A.B.C.'s. Both Williams and Donaldson pitched a grand game, Williams having a shade the best of it while the hitting of Torriente and Gatewood was terrific. Mr. Taylor made a decided impression upon the fans of this city by the gentlemanly deportment of his men and his skillful manner in handling his team, and it is needless to say the A.B.C.'s will be prime favorites in this in the future.

"Saturday Game. - A.B.C. - All Nations Battle to a Tie - In one of the best games played here this season the A.B.C.'s of Indianapolis and the All-Nations battled to a 12-inning draw yesterday afternoon at Association Park. When darkness ended the contest the score stood 5-5. The combat was also nip and tick. First one club would go into the lead and then the other. The Indianapolis lads held the lead for six innings. They scored two runs in the opening stanza, one in the third and another in the fifth. The All-Nations didn't dent home plate until the third round, when one tally was made. In the sixth they tied the score by shoving across three runs. The All-Nations made their fifth and final run in the eighth inning, while the A.B.C.'s knotting counter came in the first half of the ninth. From the ninth inning until the twelfth, neither team got a man as far as third base. Flanagan, pitching for the Wilkinson-Gaul combination, and Johnson, hurling for the visitors, both heaved in grand style and neither was in danger. Benjamin Taylor was a hitting rampage and connected safely four times out of six tries. All his blows were good for one base. Blukoi's batting and that of Mendez's were the main factors in the All-Nations' run getting. Blukoi hit a home run with a runner on and tripled with a teammate on. Several sensational catches and plays were made by both teams. The teams will play the second game of the series this afternoon at 3 o'clock and each team will have its star flinger working. John Donaldson will do the mound work for the All-Nations with String Bean Williams as his opponent."

The Indianapolis lads put over two runs in the first inning without the semblance of a hit. They made their other counter in the ninth round. Not a swat was made off Donaldson's delivery until the sixth inning. In the eighth the All-Nations loaded the bases after two were out, but the best the cleanup batter could do was to die by the way of third to first. Williams working for the visitors, was invicible in the pinches. He struck out eleven and allowed five hits. John Donaldson also struck out eleven. All the hits made by both clubs were good for but one base each."

He and his opponents on his staff in both contests and not until the last inning of the second game was he in danger.
