I think looking at the location of the center emblem it looks cut.

I don't think I would have thought that if it was just a photo of the bat.

but as you mentioned it does look cut?

Yes I think it was cut at one point back in the day. Did players cut their bats back in the day to get the length they wanted? I don't think this bat was used by a child due to the bat weighing 36.5 ounces.

In order to get a good sense of what you have there, it would be helpful to see the whole bat. In any case, are you saying that the barrel has been cut back, revealing a hollowed-out core? How deep is the whole? The cut and the hollowed part are weird, especially for a bat that is 110 years old.

Ill post a pic after work. That's the thing I just assumed it was cut being that small. It might not of been cut. The hole is maybe an inch deep.
