Default OT - 1939 Boston Old-Timers game at Fenway Park

Last May, Jim Stinson offered several autograph cuts taken from a 1939 (?) Boston Old-Timer's Game scorecard. The following is paraphrased from his 5/18/2010 Autograph Update:

In July 1939 At Fenway Park in Boston the Red Sox hosted what has been called the first "Old Timers Day" They invited many of the retired legends of the day to participate in the game that included Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Chief Bender, Ed Walsh, Grover Alexander, Tris Speaker and many more. In addition they invited many past Boston Players from both the early days of the Boston Nationals and Boston Red Sox to attend the game. The cuts offered here were removed from the scorecard of that day's game. Includes some tremendously RARE signatures as even in 1939 some of the former players were too old to participate in the game. All of the autographs that follow were signed IN-PERSON at that 1939 game: CHIEF BENDER, ED WALSH, GEORGE "LEFTY" TYLER, JOE FRANCIS "JOEY" CONNOLLY, FRANK H. CONNAUGHTON, JOE CASEY, BUCK O'BRIEN, and JACK ONSLOW
I used the images he posted with his listing and roughly recreated parts of the scorecard:
