Default Early 20th Century Ticket Stub Question

Regular season (non-WS) tickets were usually printed with just the number of the home game, no date or opponent. As doubleheaders were frequent and not day/night, a ticket to a doubleheader got the bearer admission to both games. So if there were for example 77 home games but 14 of them were contained in doubleheaders, thus rendering the season with only 63 home dates, is it fair to assume that tickets only had the numbers 1-63 printed on them? Which would reflect the 63 home dates which encompassed 77 home games? Or would the tickets be numbered 1-77 and skip the doubleheader game?

For example: game 1 is a single game, home games 2-3 were a doubleheader, home game 4 of the season a single game, home games 5-6 are a doubleheader, home game 7 was a single game. Would the tickets be numbered:

1
2
4
5
7

Or:
1
2
3
4
5

Thanks for any help.
