This document is double dated: one date represents the Julian Calendar and the second date represents the same date in the Gregorian Calendar. At the time this record was written, the difference between the two calendars was 12 days. The date of birth shows this 12 day difference (9/21 August 1888) but the date of baptism shows a 13 day difference (13/26 Aug 1888). Which of the two dates of baptism is correct is impossible to tell.
