WHAT AN ATHLETE NEEDS.
A. G. Spalding & Bros, for over thirty years huvo been makers of athletic
apparel, and make the most suitable goods for athletic contests. And so
well is this fact recognized by the champion athletes that few of them wear
anything but Spalding uniforms. Nearly all ihe important teams that have
won honors in international competitions in recent years have had their
uniforms furnished by A. (J. Spalding & Bros. This was noticeable with
the last American team which scored such a glorious victory in the Olympic
games at Athens in 1906.
A sprinter should have two pairs of running shoes, one a very heavy pair
for practicing in (the cross-country shoe. No. 14C, makes a very good shoe
for this purpose, and can be had with or without spikes on heels), and a
light pair for racing. One of the best professional sprinters that ever wore
a shoe made it a ixjint to train for all his races in very heavy sprinting
shoes. Aside from the benefit that is claimed for practicing in heavy shoes,
you always feel as though you have a pair of shoes that will be ready for
any race that is scheduled, and bear in mind it does not pay to buy ath-
letic implements or tlothing that are cheap. They don't wear and cannot
give you the service that you will get from articles that are official and
made by a reputable house.
Spalding supplies special custom made athletic shoes, made according to
your own measurements, at ifl extra over their regular price for stock shoes.
For these made-to-order shoes they set aside special lasts, and keep on file
your own measurements, so that duplicate pairs of shoes may be ordered
at any time after the tirst order is placed, simply by giving your name
and address. Write to any Spalding store, a list of which is given on
inside front cover of this book, for measurement blank, which gives full
directions for taking your own measurements.
They also furnish special made-to-order athletic shoes for base ball and
foot ball players, the extra charge in each case for this si^ecial service
being $1 per "pair over their price for regular stock shoes.
It is very important that the lieginner in athletics should know what to
wear for the different sports. The cross-country runner requires a shoe
with a low. broad heel, and spikes in sole of shoe: he can have spikes in
the heel or not, just as it suits him. A pair of Spalding No. 140 shoes,
which are made of the finest kangaroo leather, and used by all the promi-
nent cross-country runners, cost .$6: when made to order, .$7 per pair. A
sprinter will requin^ a pair of sprinting shoes. No. 2-0. that sell for $6,
and $7 when made to order. The No. 10. well made, of the finest light-
weight calfskin, cost .$.5 per pair, and $6 when made to order. The sweater.
No. A. of finest Australian lamb's wool, was made originally by special
order for the Yale foot ball team, is now used by all college athletes. Is
one of the best in the market, and sells for $6; athletic shirt. No. 600.
$1.50; running pants. No. .{. at 75 cents; a supporter is very essential for
an athlete, and nearly all the champions use them; No. 5 is the most
suitable one. and retails at 75 cents; a pair of corks will cost the athlete
15 cents: pushers for the running shoes, 25 cents.
The second quality of the same line of goods can be bought as follows:
Sprinting shoes. No. 10. $5 ($6 when made to order); sweater. No. B, $5;
shirt. No. 6E. .50 cents; pants. No. 4. 50 cents; supporter. No. 2, 50 cents;
corks. No. 1, 15 cents; pushers. No. 5. 25 cents.
The pole-vaulter will want the same outfit, with the exception of a
pair of jumping shoes. No. 14H. which sell for .$6. and a pair of wrist
supporters. No. 200. which can be bought for 40 cents. The best pole on
the market for athletic purposes is the 16-foot Spalding pole. This pole is
made of hollo>-v spruce, thus being much lighter, and. owing to a special
preparation with which it is filled, the strength and stiffness Is greatly
increased. It retails for $10; a 14-foot pole, hollow, retails for $9.50. and
the solid for $6. Usually the vaulter will wrap the pole to suit his own
The high Jumper and the broad jumper will want an outfit as follows:
Jumping shoes, No. 14H. $6; sweater. No, A. $6; shirt. No. 600. $1.50:
SPALDING S OFFICIAL ATHLETIC ALMANAC 211
pants. No. ;j, 7r. n-iits: suppniier, Xo. 5, 75 cents; corks, No. 1 15 cents;
pushers. No. 5, 25 cents.
An outtit with several of tlic articles of a cheaper grade than the above
costs: Jumpinp shoes. No. 14II, :f(j; sweater, No. B, $5; shirt. No. 6E, 50
cents, iiants. No. 4, '>{) cents; supporter. No. 2, 50 cents; corks. No. 1, 15
cents; pushers. No. 5, 25 cents.
The man who throws the weights will recpiire the same wearing apitarel
as the polc-vaulter or the run.ier. John Flanagan and James Mitchel, two
of the greatest weight throwers in the world, wear what is known as the
N<t. 1411 shoe, with a short spike, which sells for $15, and :f7 when made
to order. It is very essential that the weight-thrower should have his own
iinidemeiits; in fact, nearly all 'the champion weight-throwers carry their
own weights with them and guard them jealously.
Spaliling athletic implements are made in exact accordance with the
rules of the Amateur Athletic I'nion. and ha\e heen recognized as otticial,
and no athlete who tries for a record would think of using any other make,
as he knows that S|)alding's are invarial)ly correct, and he can comi)ete
with the iissurance that if he wins there will l)e no question of the illegality
of the record, as sometinn's happens when athletes use implements that do
not comply with the othcial re(piiremeuts.
For the hammer-thrower, the best hammer is the Spalding Championship
Hammer, with ball-bearing swivel. This haninier was designed by ex-Champion
John Flanagan. The bcnetlts of the ball-bearing construction will be appre-
ciated hy all hammer-throwers. It is guaranteed absolutely correct in
wi-ight. The price of the .\o. uG Si)alding Championship Kail-Bearing Ham-
mer, complete with sole-leather case, is .^.50 for the 16-lb., and the same
juice for the rj-lb. If bought without the leather case, the price is .i;5.5()
for either the 1G-11>. or 12-lb. In the ordinarv style hammer, with wire
handle, but not ball-bearing, the No. 9, Tractice, made of lead. 12-lb.,
costs .$4.50. and the No. 10, Regulation, 16-lb. lead, $5. In iron hammers
the No. 12, Juvenile, 8-lb.. costs $2.50; the No. 14, Practice, $:?..^)0, and
the No. 15. Regulation, l(>-lb.. .$.3.75. Wire handles for any of the fore-
going hammers, with the exception of the Championship, cost 75 cents each.
Handles for the Championship hammer are not supplied separately, but
have to be i)ut in at the Sjialding factory at an extra charge.
It is advisable for a weight-thrower who wants to become expert to carry
his own weights, and particularly his own hiimmer. He can then arrange
to have the grip made to suit himself, and when necessary, to cover it
with leather, and he will not be called \\\t<m when he goes to a competition
to take the ordinary hammer with a handle with which he is not familiar.
The .Spalding 5()-lb. weight is mad.> after designs submitted by Cham-
pion James S. Mitchel. tlie winner of innumerable contests both in America
and Kuroi)e. It has lieen endorsed by all (he leading weight-throwers, and
is guaranteed correct in weight and in exact accordance with the rules of
the Amateur Athletic rnion. The 5G-lb. weight is made in lead only, and
costs, complete. .$12.
For shot juitters the Spalding make is guaranteed correct in weight. Two
stvles of metal are use<l— lead and iron. In lead, the lO-lb. shot. No. 10.
costs .$:{..'"X>, and the 12-lb., No. 21, .$.*]. In iron, the IG-lb.. No. 2.3. costs
$1.75; the 12-lb.. No. 25, .$1. .-><•: and the S-lb.. No. IS. $1.25. The latter
weight is made in iron only. For indoor use Spalding supi)lies shot with a
leather cover, which prevents the shot from losing weight, even when used
constantlv. The prices on the leather-covered shot are as follows: lO-lb..
No. 4, ,$7.50; 12-lb.. No. a. .$7; and the 8-lb.. No. 2G. .$5. For indoor use,
however, the best shot is Spalding's patent. -d rubber-covered indoor shot,
which is made according to scientitie principles, with a rubber cover that
is perfectly round, giving a fine grip and having the propter resiliency when
it comes in contact with the floor. It will wear longer than the ordinary
leather-covered, and in addition there is no possibility that the lead dust
will sift out. therefore it is always full weight. It has l>een thoroughly
tested in the gymnasium of one of the greatest colleges in the country, and
pronounced perfect bv all who have had an opportunity to use It. The
prices are: 16-lb.. No. P. $10: 12-lb.. N(.. Q. .$0.
Since the reviviil of discus-llnowing .it the Olympic games at Alhens In
1806. and which, liv the way. was won by jn American, Robert Oarrett. of
212 SPALDING S OFFICIAL ATHLETIC ALMANAC
Priiireton, the Spalding discus has been recognized as the official discus,
and is used exclusively by Martin JSheiidan. the hero of the Olympic games
of 1906 at Athens, whose winnings contributed materially to the securing
by the American team of the greatest number of points in the athletic
events. The price of the discus is $5. For the use of more youthful
athletes, however, a discus similar to the official discus is made, with the
exception that it is lighter in weight. This Spalding Youths' Discus, as it
is called, has been endorsed by the Public Schools Athletic League, and
costs $4.
For the pole-vaulter, the greatest care is exercised in making Spalding
poles, only the most perfect and thoroughly seasoned pieces of spruce being
used, making th(>m the only poles that arc really tit and safe for an athlete.
The prices are as follows: No. lu4. IG feet hmg, each, $7; No. lO.'J, 14
feet long, $6; No. U>2, lli feet long, ^; No. 101, 10 feet long, $4; No. 100,
8 feet long, ^'S.
Spalding hollow spruce p'oles are considerably lighter than the solid pole.>?,
and the interior is tilled with a sjiecial preparation which greatly increases
the strength and stiffness. The prices are: No. 2i>4, IG feet long, each, $10;
No. 2():{, 14 feet long, ^n.-^iO; No. 2<i:i, 12 feet long, $9; No. 201, 10 feet
long, $8..%0; No. 200, 8 feet long, $8.
In getting up the line of vaulting standards extreme care is taken to
have the Spalding standards made carefully and well. There Is nothing
flimsy about them, and the measurements are clearly and correctly marked,
so as to avoid any misunderstanding or dispute. The best is No. 109,
wooden uprights, graduated in half inches, adjustable to 13 feet, complete,
$15; No. Ill, wooden uprights, inch graduations. 7 feet high, $9.00. Hick-
ory crossbars, when purchased separately, cost $.3 per dozen.
There is one article that a contestant in a pole-vaulting event must have,
and that is his own pole. There is a great deal in getting used to a pole
and having confidence in the one that is yours, because no other contestant
is allowed to use it, according to the rules, which is quite right, for it is
a mistake for a pole-vaulter to allow another to use his pole, especially if
the other man is heavier than the owner. Anyone can readily understand
that a man who weighs 160 pounds cannot use a pole designed for a man
weighing 115 pounds.
At the Buffalo Exposition and at the Olympic games in St. Louis the
Fostei" Patent Safety Hurdle, manufactured by Spalding, was used exclu-
sively. This stvle can be used for either high or low hurdles. The frame
is 2* feet 6 inches high, with a horizontal rod passing through it 2 feet
above the ground. The hurdle is a wooden gate. 2 feet high, swinging on
this rod at a point 6 inches from one of the sides and 18 inches from the
other. With the short side up it measures 2 feet 6 inches from the ground,
and with the long side up. :{ feet 6 inches. The hurdle can i>e changed
from one height to the other in a few seconds, and is held tirnily in either
position bv a thumbscrew on the rod. The price of the Foster Safety
Hurdle is" $;{.50 each, and when purchased in sets of 40 hurdles, $100
i)0 r so t
In sprint races, wherever possible, each contestant should have his own
lane. A complete set of Spalding lanes, with sufficient cord and stakes to
lay out a 100-vards course, can be bought for $15. The stakes are very
strong and made with pointed ends, and can be driven into very hard
cau be obtained from Spalding for $3, and a toe-board or stop-board for
$3.50.
For the starter at an athletic meet Spalding has a very satisfactory and
correct style of starter's pistol in a 32-caliber pistol, with 2-inch barrel and
patent ejecting device, for $U.(Ki. Another necessary article is a whistle
for announcing that everything is ready for a start and also for attracting
the attention df the othcials. Spalding has two very good styles of whistles,
either of which Costs 25 cents each. It is well also to have several meas-
uring tapes to measure broad juuii)s, shot puts, hammer and weight throw-
ing. There are a great many diCferent styles of measuring tapes made,
some plain, others in cases, but tor geneial all-around use, as a really
reliable measure, the special tapes which Spalding has made up are beyond
any of the others. These steel tapes are furnished on patent electric reel,
which allows the entire tape open to dry, and can be reeled and unreeled
as easily as tapes in cases. It is especially adapted to lay off courses and
long measuremenrs, and accuracy is guaranteed. This style tape is fur-
nished in two different lengths. No. IB, 100 feet long, graduated every
foot, and each end foot in inches, costs $5 each. No. IIB. 200 feet long,
graduated every foot, and each end foot in inches, costs $7.50. The captain
of the club should provide himself with several balls of yarn for the
finish.
Spalding's ilbist rated catalogue of all athletic sports should be in the
hands of every athlete. It will be mailed free on request by addressing the
nearest Spalding store, a list of which will be found on front luslde cover

Tom Hayward in
a New Role
A rumour is in circulation
that that prince among pro-
fessional batsmen, Tom Hay-
ward, is about to retire from
first class cricket. It is al-
most needless to state that
this is not so. What prob-
ably gave rise to the rumour
is the announcement that

proved herself a lying jade,

THE FINEST EfiUIPPED GYMNASIUM
IN THE WORLD
The progress made in the manufacture and the mechanical perfection of the
various gymnastic appliances shown in the complete gymnasium installed by
A. G. Spalding & Bros, at the World's Fair, demonstrated that the firm is alive
to the imperative need of the times. Physical training is being rapidly advanced
and in the congested sections of the country it is a growing problem how to pro-
vide for the new conditions. This is particularly true in public school work and
similar institutions. Real estate in large cities is extremely valuable, and as a
consequence, gymnasiums are often reduced in size and wholly inadequate to
the growing needs. This means that the apparatus of the past of a fixed or
cumbersome character must be superseded by appliances that may be rapidly
and conveniently handled in a manner to accommodate the constantly increasing
number of boys and girls needing systematic physical development.
A. G. Spalding & Bros., who outfitted the complete gymnasium at the World's
Fair and received the Grand Prize and Gold Medal in competition for their ex-
hibit, are to be congratulated on their enterprise.

Official National League Ball
Is the Standard of the World
It Is the Original League Ball It is the Official League BalL
It is the Universally Adopted League Ball
It is the Best League Ball
,
IN addition to the different American adoptions, the Spalding Official National League Ball has
fnade the official ball by the governing Base Ball Associations of Mexico, Cuba, Canada, Australia,,
beeril
jSouth Africa, Great Britain, Philippine Islands, Japan, and, in fact, wherever Base Ball is played.
The Spalding Official National League Ball has received this universal adoption because of its welt
established reputation for uniformity and high quality, but the special object of such adoptions, front
the players' standpoint, is to secure absolute uniformity in a ball, that will prevent unfair "jockeying"
with an unknown ball, and make National and International Base Ball contests possible, and at the
same time make the records of players of value, and uniform throughout the world, which can only
be secured by standardizing one well known ball.
Cnco Irt a' while a minor league will experiment for a short time with some other "ball, but invariably
returns to the Spalding Official National League Ball, .which has now become universally recognized
