Bob Connery, scout for the Cardinals, returned from a trip to St. Augustine, and he reports that Manager Huggins and his men will have an excellent place to train. The hotel accommodations could not be better, according to Connery, and he adds that the ball park, when completed, will be about as good as any in the South. The business men of St. Augustine are financing the building of the park, and they are doing everything in their power to make the grounds an ideal spot for major leaguers to train on. The park is only a ten-minute walk from the St. George Hotel.
