Absent the 3D lettering and 2-color tassels, I seriously doubt it's a Detroit Free Press pennant. Not positive it's even a Red Sox Pennant, although I would lean towards "yes". The colors are right and the style is consistent with known exemplars.
Still (IMHO) there's a 10 - 20% chance it's just a period city/souvenir pennant. As far as it being specifically from 1915, I see no evidence of that. There's really no way to pinpoint the year without a vintage photo, advertisement, catalog listing, etc. The year 1915 seems very plausible (given the style), but the owner would need to share specific provenance/information to that effect.
