It so happens that there was a team photo of the club published in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat on October 5, 1913, and Webb is identified in the caption.

There was also a minor league player, Jack Webb, from St. Louis, who played for Blytheville in 1910, and he is in a team photo of the club published in the Spalding Guide in 1911.

Without further preamble, here are the two photos - first Jack Webb from Blytheville and the Webb from the Alpen Braus. Neither photo is that great of quality, but is there a feeling that these are the same person or different people?

From the shapes of the mouth and the ears, it looks like the same guy. Hard to be definitive with these quality photos.
