The author

the origin, development and evolution of Base Ball, the National Game of our country. Almost from the very inception of the game until the present time as player, manager and magnate Mr. Spalding has been closely identified with its interests. Not infrequently he has been called upon in times of emergency to prevent threatened disaster. But for him the National Game would have been syndicated and controlled by elements whose interests were purely selfish and personal. The book is a veritable repository of in-' formation concerning players, clubs and personalities connected with the game in its early days, and is written in a most interesting style, interspersed with enlivening anecdotes and accounts of events that have not heretofore been published. The response on the part of the press and the public to Mr._ Spalding's efiforts to perpetuate the early history of the National Game has been very encouraging and he is in receipt of hundreds of letters and notices, a few of which are here given. Robert Adamson, New York, writing from the office of Mayor Gaynor, says: "Seeing the Giants play is my principal recreation and

interested in reading everything I can find about the game. I especially enjoy what you [Mr. Spalding] have written, because you stand as the highest living authority on the game."

early years." Melville E. Stone, New York, General Manager Associated Press: "I find it full of valuable information and very interesting./ I prize it very highly." George Barnard, Chicago: "Words fail to express my appreciation It carries me back to the early days of base ball and of the book. makes me feel like a young man again."

Charles W. Murphy, President Chicago National League club: "The book is a very valuable work and will become a part of every base ball library in the country." John F. Morrill, Boston, Mass., old time base ball star. "I did not think it possible for one to become so interested in a book on base I do not find anything in it which I can criticise." ball. Ralph D. Paine, popular magazine writer and a leading authority on "I have been reading the book with a great deal of college sport: interest. 'It fills a long felt want,' and you are a national benefactor for writing it." Gen. Fred Funston, hero of the Philippine war: "I read the book with a great deal of pleasure and was much interested in seeing the account of base ball among the Asiatic whalers, which 1 had written for Harper's Round Table so many years ago."

DeWolf Hopper, celebrated operatic artist and comedian: "Apart from the splendid history of the evolution of the game, it perpetuates the memories of the many men who so gloriously sustained it. It should
be read by every lover of the sport." Hugh Nicol, Director of Athletics, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. "No one that has read this book has appreciated it more than 1. Ever since I have been big enough, I have been in professional base ball, and you can imagine how interesting the book is to me." Mrs. Britton, owner of the St. Louis Nationals, through her treas"Mrs. Britton has been very mucli urer, H. D. Seekamp, writes: interested in the volume and has read with pleasure a number of chapters, gaining valuable information as to the history of the game." Rev. Charles H.

Bruce Cartwright, son of Alexander J. Cartwright, founder of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club, the first organization of ball players in existence, writing from his home at Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, says: "I have read the book with great interest and it is my opinion that no better history of base ball could have been written." George W. Frost, San Diego, Calif.: "You and 'Jim' White, George Wright, Barnes, McVey, O'Rourke, etc., were little gods to us back ihere in Boston in those days of '74 and '75, and I recall how indignant we were when you 'threw us down' for the Chicago contract. The book is splendid. I treasure it greatly." A. J. Reach, Philadelphia, old time professional expert: "It certainly Is an interesting revelation of the national game from the time, years before it was so dignified, up to the present.

Dr. Luther H. Gulick, Russell Sage Foundation: "Mr. Spalding has been the largest factor in guiding the development of the game and thus deserves to rank with other great men of the country who have contributed to its success. It would have added to the interest of the book if Mr. Spalding could have given us more of his own personal experiences, hopes and ambitions in connection with the game"

Francis C. Richter, Editor Sporting Life, Philadelphia: "From a purely literary standpoint, your work is to me amazing. Frankly, I would not change a line, for the reason that the story is told in a way to grip the reader and hold his interest continually."

Los Angeles Times (editorial); "Spalding's book has been out six months and ninety thousand copies have been sold. We understand there will be other editions. America has taken base ball seriously for at last two generations, and it is time enough that the fad was given an adequate text book." Caspar Whitney, Editor Outdoor America^ and one of the leading authorities in the world on sport: "You have made an invaluable contribution to the literature of the game, and one none else could have made. Moreover, you've done some very interesting writing, which is a distinct novelty in such books too often dull and uninteresting." New York World: "Albert G. Spalding, who really grew up with

the sport, has written 'America's National Game,' which he describes as not a history, but the simple story of the game as he has come to know it. His book, therefore, is full of living interest. It is a volume generously illustrated and abounds in personal memories of base ball in the making."

New York Sun: "There is a mass of interesting information regard^ ing base ball, as might be expected, in Mr. Spalding's 'America's National Game.' It is safe to say that before Spalaing there was no base ball._ The book is no record of games and players, but it is historical in a broader sense, and the author is able to give his personal decisive testimony about many disputed points."

No. A. The bar itself is made of selected hickory, having steel tubular ends which iron sockets screw, holding rubber cushions. The socket on one end contains a left hand thread, on the other end a right hand thread. By fitting the bar in the doorway and turning it with the hands the ends are made to expand, and the friction applied by the rubber against the sides of the doorway is sufficient to sustain the weight of a heavy man. This bar may be used for chinning exercises, being adjustable to any height, also for abdominal work, as shown by cuts in margin of this page.

standard Policy
A Standard Qyality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy. Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a Manufacturer to long maintain a Standard Qyality. To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a profit for the iobber as well as for the retail dealer. To meet these conditions of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to set a proportionately high list price on his goods to the consumer. To enable the glib salesman, when booking his orders, to figure out attractive profits to both the jobber and retailer, these high list prices are absolutely essential; but their real purpose will have been served when the manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured his order from the retailer. However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer, who does not, and, in reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices. When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading tut alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibiHties, and grapples with the situation as best he can, by offering "special discounts,**
. , . .

which vary with

local trade conditions. this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer the jobber are assured but as there is no stability maintained in the prices and to the consumer, the keen competition amongst the local dealers invariably leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of the retailer are practically eliminated. This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. The jobber insists on lower, and still lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his turn, meets this demand for the lowering of prices by the only way open to him, viz.: the cheapening and degrading of the quality of his product. The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that 14 years ago, in 1899, A. G. Spalding & Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization in the Athletic Goods Trade, and inaugurated what has since become known as " The Spalding Policy." The "Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding Goods are concerned, and the retail dealer secures the supply of Spalding Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer by which the retail dealer is assured a fair, legitimate and certain profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and the consumer is assured a Standard Qyality and is protected from imposition. The "Spalding Policy" is decidedly for the interest and protection of the users of Athletic Goods, and acts in two ways

Under

First. The user

is

assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods

and the same prices to everybody. Second. As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence In purchasing at the proper time, the very best raw materials required in the manufacture of our various goods, well ahead of their respective seasons, and this enables us to provide the necessary quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Qyality.
All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supply at our regular printed catalogue prices neither more nor less-the same prices that similar goods are sold for in our New York, Chicago and other stores. All Spalding dealers, as w^ell as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated exactly alike, and no special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone. This briefly, is the "Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful operation for the past 14 years, and will be indefinitely continued. In other words, "The Spalding Policy" is a "square deal ".for everybody.

standard Quality
An article that is universally given the appellation " Standard " is thereby conceded to be the criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar nature. For 'instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit of currency, because it must legally contadn a specific proportion of pure gold, and the fact of its being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stamp thereon. As a protection to the users of this currency against counterfeiting and other tricks, considerable money is expended in maintaining a Secret Service Bureau of Elzperts. Under the law, citizen manufacturers must depend to a PTeat extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices to protect themselves against counterfeit products without the aid of "Government Detectives" or "Public Opinion " to assist them.

Consequendy the " Consumer's Protection " against misrepresentation and upon the integrity and responsibility of the

thirty-four

years,

TTie necessity of uisnolding the Guzirantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and maintaining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvious w is the necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standeurd Currency.

Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other consumers when he assists a Reliable Memufacturer in upholding his TradeMark and all that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic Goods to assist us in maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by insisting that our Trade-Mark be plainly stamped on all athletic goods which they buy, because without this precaution our best efforts towards maintaining
Standard Quality and preventing fraudulent substitution will be ineffectual.
Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of

high-priced,

" inferior goods," with

whom low prices

are the

main

consideration.
