The U.S. arrived on SS Munargo on July 1, 1930 after 18-day journey with stops in Bermuda, Rio de Janeiro, Santos. Manager W.R. Cummings’ report: training “started on board the S.S. Munargo the morning after leaving Bermuda, June 17th, as a daily routine; and let it be said that it was acknowledged that we had the best conditioned outfit to participate in the World’s Series. … We continued strenuous daily practice sessions (rain or shine) alternating on the Nacional’s field at Central Park and Peñarol’s field only a few blocks away from the hotel.”
