Spring Games, Stadium Construction Underway


NEW YORK, NY. March 7, 1912 - The United Baseball Association's spring exhibition games begin today in Phoenix, Arizona. Today will be the first look at the youngsters and semi-pros that will make up the 19-man rosters.

Throughout the home cities of UBA teams, stadiums are either under construction or getting prepared for opening day, which is less than one month away. Fourteen stadiums (Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Kansas City, Newark, St. Louis, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, St. Paul, and Washington) are brand new constructions for the 1912 season. Brooklyn's Washington Park, which will be shared during the 1912 season with the National League's Brooklyn Dodgers club, is currently undergoing renovations. Pittsburgh will play in the Pirates old stadium, Exposition Park. The ball field has been vacant since 1909.
