The numbers are really the only way to tell for an absolute certainty which set a given card belongs to. And not all of them work either! #1-7, 65-71, 141-153, and 198-200 are the same players in both sets.
I see SGC decided not to bother to identify this one by set, only with a 1916 date. Not sure why they wouldn't, since there is no ambiguity about Sullivan's numbers, which are different in the two sets.
By the way, there is a useful combined M101-4/M101-5 checklist at www.oldcardboard.com. I use it all the time. It has a couple of gaps and small errors, but it is laid out in a way that really helps to ID a card in one set or the other.

The challenge continues: can anyone supply M101-4 numbers with F&B backs, other than the ones already mentioned?
