Leon, I saw that when on ebay, and I too have little doubt that it is vintage, especially with the Union logo at bottom front. It was likely an item given away at "Ed Konetchy Day" at the ballpark. It was a fairly common occurance in those days to have benefits (like the Doc Powers Day PC's you sometimes see) or appreciation days for very popular players/managers, the latter is likely the case here. It was probably handed out on the date on front to the attendees of the game.
The piece is obviously from 1912, as per the back
