I would have to dig out the card from the reprint rubble pile to see if it glows in the dark, and will eventually let all know the results.

Brian, the 'Tygers" designation is also found on the W515 card, as is the same stated manager/position. Also, the Walker card in the strip you showed incorrectly listed him on the Philadelphias N.L instead of A.L., but this too lines up with W515 as a UER.
What is interesting to me is that Adams is identified with Pittsburgh on the W515 card, but here is shown as "Pittsburg's". That seems like a deliberate change, unlike (IMO) the misplaced quote mark around "Ty" Cobb, whose German transfer has the quotes in the correct position.
