Need help identifying this 1916 issue.

In addition to the two players pictured below, I also have William Carrigan (Mgr., Boston American) and Joe Wood (pitcher, Boston American). Based on the careers of these four players, I would date this issue as 1916. I also have some information that this might be a baking issue, but beyond that, I have no idea. The cards measure 2 3/4" by 5 7/8" and all have a blank, sepia-toned reverse. There is also a dotted "cut-line" that appears on the bottom edge of each.

Additional notations:

These are either Fleischmann Bakery or Ferguson Bread.

I was certain your original post was a trick question!

Yours is a Fleischmann's MW....The Fergusons, from a Roxbury Mass. bakery, also made small baseball pennants, and have only one line in the caption on front.....later
