Joe - I think it was a loving cup given to him by his teamates after returning from a suspension. Below is a report about the game I believe it is from.

HAL CHASE IN GAME; YANKEES TRIUMPH First Baseman Presented with Silver Loving Cup by Teammates. LONG AND RAGGED CONTEST Both New York and Philadelphia Make Many Costly Errors -- Athletics Employ Four Pitchers. The Yankees signalized the return of Hal Chase to the game yesterday at the American League Park by taking Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics into camp by the score of 9 to 6. It was an old-fashioned game, in which errors were almost as numerous as runs and hits. The crowd of nearly 10,000 fans gave Hal Chase a hilarious welcome, and he also received a magnificent silver loving cup from his teammates, the presentation being made by Elberfeld.
