That was a little awkwardly phrased but yes - that really just means 1.2 WAR a year or so. As I understand it, WAR is first calculated in runs and those runs are then converted into wins based on the value of those runs - so being 40 runs above replacement in 1908 would be correspond to more wins above replacement than in 1998. The standard rate of conversion is 10 runs above replacement per win above replacement.
