Frank, while it isn't Chief Meyers' full signature, if you look at his later in life sigs, the "J. T. & M." on Leons piece look just like those three initials from his signature.
In my opinion you need at least a full last name with a first initial to be a "signature," that being said there is little doubt that this inscription was written by Meyers.
Again, it is a very cool piece and definitely a piece of baseball history, given the value of the card alone the initials and phrase by Meyers probably hurts it overall. However, had the item been a $50-100 card the writing would vastly improve the item. Still, one heck of a deal for $125.
