porter could be a reference to a type of beer sold by Fenway Brewery--Ale, Lager and Porter.

BTW, the player on the box and caught stealing card sure looks to be wearing a Yankee uniform. Hal Chase? the best player and base stealer on their team at the time.

Edited to add that Chase was on the White Sox in 1913, but the Yanks in 1912--still kinda looks like him though. His regular Tom Barker card shows him on the Sox, whom he didn't join until June.
