Default Cy Young Note to his sister?

I received this Shibe Park postcard today, it's one of the rarest commercially produced postcards of this ballpark. I've seen it sell for $700+ so I was please to get it for less than $600.

The message on the back has me intrigued, I think this card may have been sent from Cy Young to his younger sister. I'd like opinions from the experts on this board.

I've done some research and found the following:

- Cy had a younger sister named Luellen
- The Cleveland team had a game in Washington on June 5, 1909
- The Cleveland team played Philadelphia on June 7 & 8, 1909
That possibly puts Cy in North Station late on the evening of June 5

Take a look, let me know what you think...thanks. Jim
