John a/k/a Jack a/k/a Red Murray
The Sporting Life reported in its February 12, 1916 edition that Red Murray was released by the Cubs to Kansas City, a move that the player refused to recognize. 
The following week’s edition states the National Assn agreed to his unconditional release, and the March 4, 1916 copy both reflects the release and lists him on the Kansas City roster. This supports a t213-2 card showing Murray with KC. Later in April a blurb in TSL states that the Toronto manager is trying to get him signed, and he does in fact playing there that season, suggesting that the T213-2 card was printed before the Toronto acquisition.
