Veston's reputation as a training ground
Is growing apaCe. and the arrival of the
Minneapolis team yesterday in charge
OF brother Mike Cantillon should be fiat
tering 10 the folk of the Seawau City.
When asked why he brought his minor
league team so far South, Mike replied:
Il spent $500 last year taking the
Miliers 10 Illinois for three weeks. IN
which time we played just three games.
( The money was practically wasted be
cause of the bad weather, and my men
received so little training they lost
twelve of the first fourteen games, or
= something like that. 1 determined then
2 10 get away from the rain and cold for
training, and Joe was so enthusiastic
about Galveston down we came. II we
can win a few more games we Will be
: satisfied. for we shall then more than
: get back the extra expense incurred by
the long jump 10 Texas.
