Teams Meet for Spring Camp
PHOENIZ, AZ. March 4, 1912 - The newest state admitted to the union will host the fifteen (soon to be sixteen) United Baseball Association teams this spring.
Players will begin arriving today and will continue to trickle in until Thursday, March 7th, when the first exhibition games begin.
League executives decided on Phoenix after realizing a camp in the southeast, such as Virginia or Florida, wouldn't provide a safe location for the team's black athletes.
