For those wondering, like I was-
Superbas = Brooklyn, now Los Angeles Dodgers
Naps = Cleveland (now) Guardians. (Naps is from their most famous player on their team at the time Napoleon Lajoie) (1915 was actually his last season there, they would change to Indians the next year after he left)
Browns is the St Louis Browns, formerly the Milwaukee Brewers (but not the current ones) in any case the beer stein is overdetermined. They would eventually be the current Baltimore Orioles. (The original Baltimore Orioles would become the Yanks of this era & present day)Report
Edit – it looks like Nap’s contract was bought by Connie Mack for the Philly A’s in January 1915, and Cleveland played the entire 1915 season without him but with the new Indians name. Briggs must have just used the old one.
(Also, the official name of Brooklyn’s National League team at this time was ‘the Robins’, which apparently wasn’t really used by sportswriters or the general public much at all)Report
Seems Mr. Briggs did not consider the Federal League as a 3rd major league either…Report
