Here's a bit about the player....

Frank Julian (Francisco) Arellanes. Boston, AL. Born January 28, 1882, Santa Cruz, California; died December 13, 1918, San Jose, California. A right handed pitcher, Frank, of Mexican – American decent, began organized play in 1903, for both the San Jose of the California State League, and then for the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League (who tried him in the outfield for a few games). Frank was back with the San Jose CSL team for 1904, 1905, and part of 1906, but he joined with the PCL’s Fresno Raisin Eaters for part of their long 1906 season, playing third base for 52 games, and pitching 7 innings in one game. He hit only .164. Frank attended Santa Clara University in 1907 and the spring of 1908. Then, Frank played in his first major league game on July 28, 1908, for the Boston Red Sox, where he played for 3 years, winning 24 games and losing 22, with solid ERA’s of 1.82, 2.18, and 2.88. Cy Young was with Boston in 1908, Arellanes stepped into the rotation the next season. 1909 was his best season, when he had 30 of his 51 career starts and posted a 16-12 record, to lead the team, 3 more wins than Eddie Cicotte and 5 more than Smokey Joe Wood. He led the league that year with relief wins (3) and saves (8); he allowed a stingy 1.68 walks every nine innings. Illness brought an end to his major league career, and he was back to California. He did pitch in 15 games, and appeared in 2 others for the Sacramento Solons of the PCL in 1910. He worked the mound for the Solons for 3 more years, posting records of 7-8, 22-16, and 13-17. The Sacaramento team moved to Mission in 1914, Frank was 10-18 that year under manager Harry Wolverton. Frank pitched for the Denver Bears of the Western League in 1915, going 4-4. His last 2 years as a player were 1916 and 1917, with the PCL’s Vernon Tigers. Frank was 8-6 in 1916, and 1-1 in 9 games in 1917. His team-mates at Vernon in 1916 included pitchers Jack Quinn and Art Fromme, catcher Boss Schmidt, and second baseman Swede Risberg of Blacksox notoriety. Frank died short of his 37th birthday from the Spanish Flu pandemic, he was buried at Oak Hill Memorial Park in San Jose.
