My guess is there was some kind of interleague, Mayor's or Governor's Cup type game that is being referenced here. It would be hard to imagine such an exhibition game today meriting reference on the back of a baseball card, but in 1910 it might have been a popular local news item. Any ideas?

Good question. From the context you'd think it was in the World Series, because that's what the 1905 reference is talking about, but neither NY team played in the 1910 WS...
