WILL NOT TRAIN
At SAN ANTONIO
Mineral Springs, Texas, May
Be Chosen BY Detroit
Club.

san Antonio viii in ali probability rot
be the place selected as a training sta
ton for the Tigers In 1911
President Frank NaUiE. OF the Detroit
club. has not definitely decided on p
training locality. but he and Manager
Jennings have decided not 10 go 20 san
Several other places are being consid-
cred by the Detroit club and one Of
them IS Mineral Springs, Tex loCats1
between Dallas and Fort Worth OF the
Lone Star State
There are a number OF reasons why
the Tigers should not train al San An
tonic, II is good town. one. OF the
best in the country for hospitality and
climate The climate part is all right
but the hospitality part Is Objectionable
Too Much Hospitality.
The Detroit club has been ROYALTY re-
ceived in san Antonio and the players
are welcomed everywhere The social
program is apt to take precedence over
the training program under the circuu1-
stances and TO avoid this is the principal
reason why San Antonio viii be sighted
IN 1911
Mineral - ings Is a shorter Jour
ney- Il takes about two days 10 20
from Detroit TO san Antonio while
g would take less than that to reach
Mineral Springs and the facilities for
training n the latter place arc as good
II not better than at san Antonio
This spot on the Lone Star State
map offers excellent springs and play
ing grounds There Is some hitch in
the arrangement at san Antonio and
this cones n regard to lea sing the
ball park for another Eear-f
Good Water and Diamond.
There are also several other South
ern towns that are making efforts to
land the Detroit club for the spring
Of 1911 One Of them is located In Ten
nessee, IS reached in short time and
offers short jumps 70 many Of re
cities IN the South where games an
be booked
in 1903 and landed a De1nant- One u
the reasons the Tigers won was be
cause Of the excellent training facilities
Of san Antoine"
Another Reason
They trained there again last spring
but no pennanJ this year As long as
the club could beat the barrier in
the American League by training al
san Antonio, e was wise polic7- to
| 20 there, but since the showing made
/ sq-Ialed had the club trained at any OF
] the points farther I'D toward the Mason
and DIXON line san Antonio lost much
( Of its former precedence.
The official selection Of training
station for 1911 has not been made. but
Mineral Springs Tex. Is the best bet.
