While scouring the interwebs I found another Globe-Democrat page to add to our checklist. It's from Aug 22, 1915 and it's of Christy Mathewson.

Not sure how I had missed it before, since it was included in a Huggins & Scott auction in 2012, not too long after this thread started. If you have this one, I would be interested in acquiring it from you...

Stolen picture below, and here is the updated checklist :

April 25 - Cartoon about teams taking NL pennant
May 30 - Tommy Long (most popular ballplayers)
June 27 - Carl Weilman & Eddie Plank (popular players)
July 4 - Two Of This Season's Stars (front of section)
July 4 - Feds Team (back of section)
July 11 - Lee Meadows & Urban Faber (pitching sensations)
July 18 - Ty Cobb & Jake Daubert (batting stars)
July 25 - Larry Doyle & Lee Magee (batting stars)
Aug 1 - Bennie Kauff & Vic Saier (base stealers)
Aug 8 - Tris Speaker & George Burns (outfield)
Aug 15 - Rabbit Maranville & Eddie Collins (both sides of second sack)
Aug 22 - Ray Schalk & Frank Snyder (catchers)
Aug 29 - Altrock, Schaefer & Jennings (coaches)

Those are all from 1915 and noted as "Color Sport Supplement" with the date at the top (except the July 4 Feds Team).

There are also color pages from :
Sept 20, 1908 - Parade of players with bats on shoulders & crowd
Apr 9, 1909 - Cartoon entitled "Play Ball" with a King watching game w/peanuts & scorecard
Aug 11, 1912 - Drawing of kids playing titled "A Home Run"
(ADD) Aug 15, 1915 - Christy Mathewson
June 6, 1915 - Baseball cartoon "Bert Bush's First Game"
Sept 12, 1915 - Charles Comiskey (owner)
Sept 19, 1915 - Hank O'Day (umpire)
