Davenport, the famous American artist. No man in America is better equipped to write on all the varied phases of the Na- tional Game than is A. G. Spalding. His observation and experience began when the game was young. He gained fame as a pitcher forty years ago, winning a record as player that has never yet been equalled. He was associated with the management of the pastime through trying years of struggle against prevailing evils. He opposed the gamblers; he fought to eradicate drunkenness ; he urged and intro- duced new and higher ideals for the sport ; he was quick to see that ball playing and the business man- agement of clubs, at the same time and by the same men, were imprac- ticable ; he knew that ball players might be quite competent as magnates, but not while playing the game ; he was in the forefront of the fight against syndi- cating Base Ball and making of a Nation's pastime a sordid Trust; he was the pioneer to lead competing American Base Ball teams to a foreign land ; he took two champion teams to Great Britain in 1 874, and two others on a tour of the world in 1 888-9 ; he was present at the birth of the National League, and has done as much as any living American to uphold and prolong the life of this great pioneer Base Ball organization. When A. G. Spalding talks about America's National Game he speaks by authority of that he does know, because he has been in the councils of the management whenever there have been times of strenuous endeavor to purge it from abuses and keep it clean for the people of America — young and old In this work Mr. Spalding, after explaining the causes that led him into the undertaking, begins with the inception of the sport; shows how it developed, by natural stages from a boy with a ball to eighteen men, ball, bats and bases ; gives credit for the first scientific application of system to the playing of the game to Abner Doubleday, of Coopers- town, N. Y.: treats of the first Base Ball club ; shows how rowdyism terrorized the sport in its early days ; how gam- bling and drunkenness brought the pastime into disfavor with the masses, and how early organizations were unable to control the evils that insidiously crept in. He then draws a series of very forceful pictures of the struggle to eradicate gambling, drunkenness and kindred evils, and shows how the efforts of strong men accomplished the salvation of the great American game and placed it in the position it occu- pies to-day— the most popular outdoor pastime in the world. Interspersed throughout this interesting book are remin- iscences of Mr. Spalding's own personal observations and experiences in the game as player, manager and magnate, covering a period of many years. Some of these stories deal with events of great import to Base Ball, and others have to do with personal acts and characteristics of players prominent in the game in earlier days — old time favorites like Harry and George Wright, A. C. Anson, Mike Kelly, Billy Sunday and others. This book should be in the library of every father in the land, for it shows how his boy may be built up physically and morally through a high-class pastime. It shouki be in the hands of every lad in America, for it demonstrates the possibilities to American youth of rising to heights of eminent material success through a determined adherence to things that make for the upbuilding of character in organizations as well as of men.

BAXTER Springfield, Ohio On account of a constant and never-failing friendship Copyright, 1912. Amoi-ic-au Syoits I'ublishiug Company. gCI.A3a7372 FOREWORD In presenting this drill, I do so at the request of those who have seen it used to great advantage in different fields, both association, school and individual training. The drill has proven the most enthusiastic of any calis- thenic work that I have ever been able to discover, and the results have proven very much more satisfactory, because the class enters into it with more vigor, vim and snap. As a rule there are some classes not very favorably disposed to calisthenics, but I have yet to see the class that did not heartily enjoy this drill, when they have a good hustling partner by their side, which forms a de- lightful competition in setting-up exercises. In looking over the drill, you will find that sometimes one pupil will hold a certain corrective position, while another completes a movement. This is an easy way to secure corrective results without annoying the student. As a rule, in corrective work, the younger students will fret when a corrective position is held very long. This drill has been a favorite with every class in which I have used it, especially so with business men's classes in several associations. Every one knows how monotonous it is to take exercise alone, even the most enthusiastic athlete wants company. Professional men who room in the same offices can get 4 SPALDING S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. together about ten minutes every noon and find much pleasure and recreation in each other's company. When a class falls in line for drill, it should always be the rule to line up according to height, because two of the same stature should work together. A 54 inch length school wand will serve for this drill, although the 42 inch length can be used. The counts should be in three classes, 8 and return at beg'inning, increased to 12 and return, then 16 return counts, for the movements herein. J. M. BRANDAU, Physical Instructor, Y.M.C.A., Springfield, Ohio. Photos by the Stanton Photo Novelty Company, Springfield, Ohio. Spalding's athletic library.

Both men hold the wand in their right hands at Position No. 2 (Fig. 2) ; rotate the left arms in same Position independent of right arms ; 8 slow counts, and return. Rotation of the arms is turning them on their own axes. B. Same exercise as in A, rotate left arms in Position No. I. C. Same exercise as in B, rotate left arms in Position No. 3. D. Same exercise as in C, rotate left arms at side horizontal. (N'otc — See outside arms in Fig. No. 10 for side horizontal.) E. Repeat same exercise with right arms while hold- ing wand with left. Explanation to Series i, 2, 3, 4. When it is wished to have the student use both hands or arms in Series Nos. i, 2, 3, 4, all that is necessary is to give the order that the man on the right will hold his wand in Position i, 2, 3, etc., and the man on the left will flex fingers or arms in another position. It is always well to have the man who is holding the still position to be in a corrective posture, as it is very helpful to correct the figure. In doing this one man is getting corrective exercise while the other is acquiring muscular tone. Of course the men alternate their positions. FiGURi: 3. spalding s athletic library. ii Series No. 5.

The bar itself is made of selected hickory, having steel tubular ends into 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 door- way 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. Size of doorway in which bar will be used must be stated when ordering, as the adjustment is not great enough to meet all requirements in one size bar This No. A Bar is supplied regularly to fit any doorway under 33 inches in width.

OCT 18 1912 , , «^ ,• Standard Policy A Standard Quality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy. Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a Meuiufacturer to long maintain a Standard Qyality. To market his goods through a jobber, a manufacturer must provide a profit for the jobber 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 air 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 but alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and grapples with the situation as best he can, by offering "special discounts," which vary with local trade conditions. Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer and the jobber are assured; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices 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 cheap- ening and degrading of the quality of his product. The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that, 1 3 years ago, in 1 899, 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 rerail 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 : 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 necesssary quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Quality. All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supply consumers at our regular printed catalogue prices — neither more nor less — thesame prices that similar goods are sold for in our New York, Chicago and other stores. All Spalding dealers, as well 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 13 years, and will be indefinitely continued. In other words, " The Spalding Policy " is a " square deal " for everybody. A. G. SPALDING & BROS. By ^Z<^iJ^^2^a^^it^/^^. PEESIOENT, ^^ 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 contain 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 Elxperts. Under the law, citizen manufacturers must depend to a great 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. Consequently the " Consumer's Protection " against misrepresentation and "inferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the " Manufacturer." A. G. Spalding & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to " Quality," for thirty-four years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout the world as a Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as the U. S. Currency is in its field. The necessity of upholding the Guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and maintaining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvi- ous as is the necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency. Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other consumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade- Mark 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 high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of " inferior goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration. A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold and a guarantee to protect, must necessarily have higher prices than a manufac- turer of cheap goods, whose idea of and basis of a claim for Standard Quality depends principally upon the eloquence of the salesman. We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than poverty in quality — and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.
