I tried to dig around a bit and came across a 1922 bibliography of The Spalding Baseball Collection, online here:

This shows at least two possibilities (there may be more):

Pg 6 Spalding's Official Pacific Coast Base Ball Book 1910-1911

Pg 23 Pacific Association of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States 1910

I know someone at the HOF that has helped me research a few things - if we reach a dead end here shoot me an email and I can drop her a line.

Yes, please do, Bryan, and thanks for your help. If there was a 1906 version of the "Spalding Pacific Coast Base Ball Book," that would be the most likely candidate. Or, if that 1910-1911 edition was the only one ever done, perhaps they filled it out with teams from earlier years. There were also Spanish-American and British editions of the Spalding guide for 1906, I wonder if those might have included some semipro teams not in the regular American edition.
