 Some class to the Teller person of l Springfield, eh? Going to take his i team to Jersey to train. That is set
 ting a precedent for Connecticut league
 teams, though it is not likely to be | followed very extensively. Mique Finn, the Waterbury owner, has Arkansaw connections and might take his bunch down there for a spring tryout The railroad fare and board on the road would be only about $1OO a man! George Cameron has the famous sea- side resort known as Savin Rock, where he can put his men through the preliminary, and Manager ORourke can take his bunch to Steeplechase Is- land.
