Default 1911 Red Sox? Ticket Stub Questions

Hi-
I recently acquired the ticket scanned below and (as usual) I have a few questions about it. The year 1911 is visible on the edge of the stub and John Taylor's signature is at the bottom. Here are my questions:
1. Is this a 1911 Red Sox ticket stub?
2. How common are tickets (and stubs) from Major League clubs of this era? How common are Red Sox tickets and stubs from this era?
3. Does anyone have a full ticket for the Red Sox from the same time period they could post?
4. I thought the game number might be on the ticket but I see 196 in the box, and 075 at the end of the stub. Does the 75 reference the game number? Is there any way to tell which game this ticket stub was issued for?
Any additional information concerning this ticket stub will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Alan Elefson

John I. Taylor was President of the Red Sox from 1904 to the end of 1913, so that supports the idea that it is indeed a 1911 Red Sox ticket. That was their last season at the old Huntington Grounds.

And it appears that part of the word "American" is visible just along the torn portion of the stub, so that is additional support that it once stated "Boston Americans" or something along those lines on the ticket.

An examination of the below auction lot (the bottom four from similar era) will show that yours is, in fact, a 1911 Boston Red Sox stub. Notice the same typeface used for the 1910 example. The problem with your stub is that it's missing a money shot, i.e. the name ("Boston American League") of the club and related logos/artwork: so WE know it's a 1911 ticket stub but only after some research.

Thank you guys! I thought something was missing (like a logo) and it is really cool to see other ones from the same era. Joseph, do you know what auction the lot you depicted below was in? Thanks again for everyone's help.
Alan
