Wikipedia says "Brush's health deteriorated quickly after becoming majority owner (of the NY Giants) in 1902, as he suffered from locomotor ataxia, a nervous system affliction, as well as rheumatism."
Brush died in 1912, so it may be that the "plain" version of his signature is from some time closer to 1912 as his condition deteriorated.
The New York pass is from his time with the Giants, so 1902 and possibly some time afterward.
