Default 1912 World Series poster, can you solve the mystery?

Here is 1912 World Series piece I have that is somewhat of a mystery to me. Can you help identify it? Here are the clues. It is on vintage solid 14" x 18" posterboard, as can be seen on the snapshot where the corners are peeling, with a not quite glossy yet not paper finish. It bears a 1912 copyright as can be seen under Joe Wood's photo. It portrays the stars and managers of the two World Series teams from 1912. The back, barely visible through the glued onWWI newspaper articles, is of the same finish and appears to have an ad back as can be seen by the order form for "pants" and the flower like print that can be seen where the newspaper is peeling away. It may be a 1912 World Series advertising poster. There must be an expert on here, does anyone have any clue on this mystery?
