Researching cancels for the 1898 Series revenues is an adventure I started slow more than 20 years ago, now it's my main effort.

Which Pittsburg are you referring to? By my count there are at least 4 cities with this name in four states!

David and Ari... to clear up some confusion, I believe Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was chartered in 1816 with the name Pittsburg. The name was changed to Pittsburgh when Pittsburg, California was established in 1911. Pittsburg, Kansas, was chartered in 1876, however, Samuel S. S. Pinkerton, stock broker, was located in Pennsylvania. So, the cancel 'Pittsburg' was actually in what is now Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

one can never tell when otherwise useless bits of information might prove invaluable. Nice job.
