Do you know anything else about this ticket? I have a similar one and did some research on it. It looks like the House of David rented the Monarchs' lighting system for barnstorming. I can't help but wonder if these stubs are House of David exhibitions where they used the Monarchs lighting, but the Monarchs weren't actually playing.
This is where I found some details:
"The House of David rented Wilkinson’s lighting system to play night games during the early months of their barnstorming season. In time the two teams developed a working relationship that included Thomas Baird doing the booking for both. Sometimes they coordinated barnstorming tours so first one team would route through a state, playing all the local teams, and then the other would follow along the same route. Since the Monarchs and the House of David had great baseball talent, both usually defeated the local teams. When the second team finished the route, they joined and worked their way back along the same route, playing each other."
