If you let me jump in here, I might be able to help. I also have the book.

"His" simply means exactly what it says: His (Tris Speaker's) bat. The date is the date the order was catalogued by H&B.

The name after that is simply the name of the player whose bat was used as a "template" for (in this case, Tris Speaker's bat). This was before H&B started assigning model numbers to a player's bat.
