I think Jesse is holding a ball bag or a suitcase - either way he is well past his playing weight, which adds to the charm of the card IMO.

There is a card (E121 I believe) of Wilbert Robinson that shows him in the exact pose holding a bag very similar to the one Burkett is holding. I always thought it would be neat to have that card to pair with the Koester's Burkett, but I digress...
