I'm headed back to the Columbia library to view some more microfilms. I left off on March 4, 1910. Players were signing contracts and arriving to begin spring training. It's enjoyable playing detective. I'll be on the lookout for any mention of the Breitenstein brothers. Saw a comment about Joe Jackson signing or trying out with the Athletics. He did not "stick" with them and ended up with the New Orleans Pelicans. From the paper: "He will probably stick with the Pelicans since he can field some and hit much" 3/12/1910
