This is not baseball, but still pre-WWII. I received this in the mail from Italy today. Appears to be payment for something to do with automobiles. This is signed by Nedo Nadi (1894-1940). One of the greatest fencers of all time, he won 6 gold medals between the 1912 and 1920 Olympics. At the 1920 games he won 5 gold medals, winning in every event he competed in - individual foil and sabre and team foil, sabre and épée. He also fought for Italy in WWI. This is also quite large 9 3/4 x 4.
