Default Negro / Cuban League GOTTA BE THE STRANGEST BASEBALL POSTCARD EVER? 1929

This one is definitely different... From what I can gather on Google translate this seems to be some sort of Funeral Memorial for one or several of the players?

Can anyone explain the Cat looming over the Dead Rat?

Between the two players (Palma & Neron) translates to "Gravediggers"?

The little cross with the bubbles are numbered 1-9... Could this be how many died?

At the bottom left states "Dedicated to Mr. J. B. Sanchez"

Would love to here any and all thoughts. Searching for info on this postcard is not panning out at this time - not sure if I need to search in Spanish or what?

Thank ya'll

I cannot figure out why the scan has some blur to it? Allot more crisp in person?
