Partial T213-2 Coupon caption i.d.

It looks like Chief 'Wilson, St. Louis Nat.' is the caption above the T213-2 Coupon Lajoie Phila. Here are some photos that fit inside the format. I was able to make larger scans that wouldn't fit on here. I'm pretty sure the team designation is 'St. Louis Nat.' If it is, the possibilities are Ames, Geyer, Huggins, Miller, Warhop, or Wilson. Wilson looks like the best fit to me. Wilson played for St. Louis Nats in 1914,1915, and 1916, and is a high pop card for the set, suggesting he had cards issued in all 3 years. Famous for 36 triples in 1912, the most in a single season to this day.

Trying to line-up the texts here...What do you all think the caption reads?

Looks like "BEN SIMON". That doesnt make sense, but might get the wheels turning

Is the open eye on the apostrophe specific to the Wilson card? I cant see close enough on the Ames or Geyer card to see if the apostrophes also has an open eye.

Thanks for the replies. I know it's difficult to see, especially on a phone. Here's another scan at 600 dpi. I think I can see the bottom of a capital S O N and the the "St." is worn away, I see the bottom of "Louis Nat."

I'm trying to figure out the issue year of my Lajoie Phila. I think it's 1915, with 1914 for the Cleveland caption. and 1916 the Philadelphia caption. Wilson being issued the same in all 3 years does not give me any new information.

On the fish eye on the Lajoie top, I think it's just a blemish on a very low grade card magnified to 3200 dpi. Good eye, though.
