Well Harry Davis is listed on his proof as a member of the Cleveland team. His one year with Cleveland was 1912 as a player manager. He was with Philly before 1912 and with Philly after 1912. Kling was with Boston in 1912, but the Braves. This could have been one of those typo errors common in caramel and tobacco cards when a player is listed with the AL team instead of the NL team, and vice-versa. This would pin the year of production down to 1912 or 1913. Chance was player manager of the Yankees in 1913 and 1914, so I would guess late 1912 after the season when Chance was announced as manager, or early 1913, before the season when Davis switched back to Philly.
