Kevin:

Sorry I can't provide any useful info on that card set but I have done a little bit of research on the newspaper itself as I have a Baltimore American News issue dated the day after Opening Day, 1914 which indicates that the Orioles won their opener yesterday and includes a team photo including Babe Ruth, who would make his professinal baseball debut the following day, April 23, 1914 for the Orioles. The Baltimore American and the Baltimore News operated as two separate newspapers during that era although they would go on to merge forces later. In case anyone would like to see a scan of that newspaper page, here it is:
