St. Louis 1915/16 Uniform question?

[RUKen]

I am reviving this year-old thread to correct the record. The home uniform indicated for the St. Louis Terriers in 1915 by Marc Okkonen is incorrect. The Terriers had a nearly all-white uniform, without pinstripes, as seen below on second baseman Bobby Vaughn and pitcher Eddie Plank:

I found a photo on the website for the Missouri Historical Society (https://mohistory.org/collections/item/N40472), a portion of which I am showing here, of action at a Terriers game. The player in the foreground has no stripes, while you can see the StL on the pitcher, but no Federal League patch on the sleeve, which I thought was a feature of the 1914 uniform. Any idea what season this would be from? Is there a chance this could be from 1913?

I'm not convinced it's a Federal League uniform at all. Looks like a Browns uniform, although admittedly it is blurry.

Agreed; it appears to be the St. Louis Browns home uniform 1911-1914.

I guess I'll have to look at the original and see why the museum thinks it is from a Federal League game.

Does anyone know if the background matches the stands from Sportsman's Park at that time?

The Browns' road uniform had "ST. LOUIS" across the chest, not the SL logo. The 1914 Terriers of the Federal League had an StL logo on their road uniforms, but the uniforms were pinstriped (including the caps), and the Polo Grounds did not host Federal League games. I think the photo has to be at Sportsman's Park, unless it is at a spring training facility.

For another look at that logo, I've attached below an image of the Browns' Mike Balenti:
