Default Frank "Home Run" Baker Glove

I recently found this pair of vintage matching Spalding World Series Model fielders gloves that I believe date to around 1910. One of them has Home Run Baker's name written on it (in four different locations) along with "Trappe Md" (Bakery's home town) and some statistics. The stats are yearly home run totals and it also says "Seventy Seven Home Runs" on one finger although Baseball-reference credits Baker with 96. I am hoping someone in the community can help me find some more info on these or provide recommendations for cleaning/restoring them if it would be worthwhile.

Thanks,
