Winter Haven is one OF those
small cities which dot the ridge
section Of Florida and is in the
center of one of the most pro-
ductive citrus fruit sections of these
United States. The new ball park
sets In a hollow with an orange
grove back of left field and a
grapefruit orchard behind right
field.
The new plant has been laid out
distance of about three quarters
of a mile from the Haven Hotel.
A lot of work and money has been
expended on the premises. The
diamond has a good stand Of Ber-
muda grass, while the Outfield was
planted to Bermuda grass and
Spanish rye, the latter being one
of the few varieties Of rye now
permitted within the twelve-mile
limit. Considerable grading was
necessary to make the outfields
level, but Winter Haven has a
live board of commerce which ap-
preciated the publicity which would
come by having a major league ball
club in the vicinity.

Marston is n fine golfer and his

unacceptable gait.
Marston Is more Of a fighter than

Marston is probably on the losing
side OF more golf matches than any
OF the big leaguers, Already he has
