From the Boston Globe, p. 4, 04/02/1901:

Quite the sporting specticle took place today at the New England Park. The Boston Colonials of the new Pastime League of Professional Base Ball hosted the Philadelphia Brotherhood in the contest. Mr. William Yanes of the Colonials out dueled the Philadelphia pitcher, Mr. Kenton Lawrence. The Colonials scored two runs in the first inning, and another in the eighth, and won the contest 3 runs to 1. Mr. Yanes pitched for the entirety of the game, and recorded nine outs by strike. Mr. John Byers, the center fielder for the Colonials, hit safely in each of his four attempts, and scored two of the club's three runs. The contest was enjoyed by all.
