Was revisiting this picture and discussion. The notation at the bottom is "El, Pasco, Texas" which Im assuming is El Paso. I dont think in 1909 the Athletics were ever in El Paso where they? Doesn't look like it for spring training at least...did they do some kind of post season tour?
Spring Training 1909 was held in New Orleans and Joe Jackson arrived their ahead of the team as he traveled from Greenville (with a rep from the A's it appears a "doctor" to make sure he didn't get home sick. Team arrived there on March 10. Ira Thomas had signed and arrived in Philly in time to travel from there with the bulk of the team. Strunk also traveled with the bulk of the team from Philly.
