page engravings, and having sixteen forceful cartoons

by Homer C. Davenport, the famous American artist
The above work should have a place in every

public library in this country, as also in the
libraries of public schools and private houses.
The author of "America's National Game"
conceded, always, everywhere, and by every-
is
body, to have the best equipment of any living
writer to treat the subject that forms the text
of this remarkable volume, viz., the story of
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 iden-
tified 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 syn-
dicated 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.
o" the part of the press and the public to

Mr.^ bpaldmg s efforts 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.

Gaynor, says:— Seeing the Giants play is my principal recreation

George Barnard, Chicago:— "Words fail to express my appreciation

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."

Reach, Philadelphia, old time professional expert: "It certainly
J.
is an interesting revelation of the national game from
the time, years
before it was so dignified, up to the present. Those who have played
in the past, those at present en-
the game, or taken an interest in it
gaged in it, together with all who are to engage in it, have a rare
treat in store." .
Dr Luther H. Gulick, Russell Sage Foundation:— "Mr. Spalding game

has been the largest factor in guiding the development of the
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 his own
of the book if Mr. Spalding could have given us more
personal experiences, hopes and ambitions in connection with the
game.
—
Pittsburg Press: "Historical incidents abound and the book is an
excellent authority on the famous sport."
—
Philadelphia Telegraph: "In this book Mr. Spalding has written the
tnost complete and authoritative story of base ball yet published."
—
New York Herald: "If there is anyone in the country competent to
^fite a book on base ball it is A. G. Spalding who has* been interested
in the game from its early beginnings."
I. E.
—
Sanborn, Chicago Tribune: "'America's National Game' has
been added to the Tribune's sporting reference library as an invaluable
contribution to the literature of the national pastime."
—
O. C. Reichard, Chicago Daily News: "It is cleverly written and
presents information and dates of great value to the newspaper man
of to-day!"
—
George C. Rice, Chicago Journal: "I have read the book through,
and take pleasure in stating that it is a complete history of the game
from the beginning until the present time."
Sherman R. Duffy, Sporting Editor Chicago Journal: "It is a most—
interesting work and one for which there was need. It is the most
valuable addition to base ball literature that has yet been put out."
—
Joseph H. Vila, New York Sun: "I have read it carefully and with
much interest. It is the best piece of base ball literature I have ever
seen, and I congratulate you on the work."
—
Tim Murnane, Sporting Editor Boston Globe: "You have given to
the world a book of inestimable value, a classic in American history;
a book that should be highly prized in every home library in the
country."
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 con-
tribution 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, blit it is
historical in a broader sense, and the author is able to give his personal
decisive testimony about many disputed points."
Evening Telegram, New York; — "In clear, concise, entertaining, nar-
rative_ style, Albert G. Spalding has contributed in many respects the
most interesting work pertaining to base ball, the national game, which
has been written.
"There is so much in it of interest that the temptation not to put
it down until it is completed is strong withm the mind of every
person who begins to read it. As a historical record it is one of those
volumes which will go further to straighten some disputed points than
all of the arguments which could be advanced in good natured disputes
which might last for months."

—
(Note. The starter must have at least two good cartridges in
his pistol before starting a heat.)

mony prevents an immediate decision, the competitor shall be
allowed to compete under protest, and the protest shall be de-
cided by the Games Committee within one week, unless its

case the Games Committee must report such protest within
forty-eight hours to the member of the Registration Committee

SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRAEY. 46
RULE XXI.
TIES.
In all contests whose results are determined by measurement
of height or distance, ties shall be decided as follows:
In handicap contests the award shall be given to the com-
petitor who received the least allowance. In case of a tie be-
tween two or more competitors who received the same allowance,
the decision shall be made as in scratch contests.
In case of a tie in a scratch contest at high jumping, the
tieing competitors shall have three additional trials at the height
last tried, and if still undecided, the bar shall be lowered to
the height next below, and three trials taken at that height. If
no one clears it, the bar shall be lowered again and again until
one of the competitors clears it. In case of a second tie, the
award shall be given to the competitor who cleared the bar with
the least number of trials.
In case of a tie in the pole vault the officials shall raise or
lower the bar at their discretion, and those competitors who
have tied shall be allowed one trial at each height.
In handicaps, where a tie occurs, the scratch man or man
with the smallest allowance shall be given the place.
In case of a tie in a scratch contest at any game decided by
distance, each of the tieing competitors shall have three addi-
tional trials, and the award shall be made in accordance with
the distances cleared in these additional trials. In case of a
second tie three more trials shall be allowed, and so on, until
a decision is reached. In case of a dead heat in any track
events, the competitors shall not be allowed to divide the prize
or points, or to toss for them, but must compete again at a
time and place appointed by the Referee.
ORDER OF COMPETITION IN FIELD EVENTS.

In all scratch events the competitors shall take their trials in
the order of their names as printed in the programme.
In all handicap events the competitor having the greatest al-
lowance shall make the first trial, and so on, in regular order,
up to the competitor at scratch or with least allowance, who
shall have the last trial.
RULE XXII.
JUMPING.
Section i. A fair jump shall be one that is made without
the assistance of weights, diving, somersaults or handsprings of
any kind.
THE RUNNING HIGH JUMP.

Sec. 2. The Field Judges shall decide the height at which
the jump shall commence, and shall regulate the succeeding
elevations.
Each competitor shall be allowed three trial jumps at each
height, and if on the third trial he shall fail, he shall be de-
clared out of the competition.
At eachsuccessive height each competitor shall take one trial

in his then those failing, if any, shall have their
proper turn ;
second trial jump in a like order, after which those having

failed twice shall make their third trial jump.
The jump shall be made over a bar resting on pins projecting
not more than three inches from the uprights, and when this bar
is removed from its place it shall be counted as a trial jump.
Running under the bar in making an attempt to jump shall be
counted as a "balk," and three successive "balks" shall be
counted as a trial jump.
The distance of the run before the jump shall be unlirnited.
Acompetitor may decline to jump at any height in his turn,
and by so doing, forfeits his right to again jump at the height
declined.
THE STANDING HIGH JUMP.
Sec. 3. The may be placed in any posi-
feet of the competitor
tion, but shall leave the ground only once in making an attempt
to jump. When the feet are lifted from the ground twice, or
two springs are made in making the attempt, it shall count as
a trial jump without result. A competitor may rock forward
and back, lifting heels and toes alternately from the ground, but
may not lift either foot clear from the ground or slide it along
the ground in any direction.
With this exception the rules governing the Running High
Jump shall also govern the Standing High Jump.
At the annual meeting of the A.A.U., held Nov. 19, 1902, in New
York City, the following was offered for guidance in the pole vault
and high' jump events :
"That the rules of competition require the Field Judges to make

accurate measurements. The Committee has discussed the question
of giving the right to move the apparatus in the high jump and in
the pole vault, and we would like to call the attention of all those
who are interested in athletics to the fact that if the apparatus is
moved, the Field Judges should make a re-measurement, because if
there is any inequality in the ground at all, changing the apparatus
may make a difference varying from one inch to a quarter of an
•
inch, and the competitor should not be allowed to have the apparatus
moved and thereby get an advantage in that way."
THE RUNNING BROAD JUMP.

Sec. 4. When jumped on earth a
joist eight inches wide shall
be sunk flush with it. The
outer edge of this joist shall be
called the scratch line, and the measurement of all jumps shall
be made from it at right angles to the nearest break in the
ground made by any part of the person of the competitor.
In front of the scratch line the ground shall be flush.
A foul jump shall be one where any part of the competitor's
foot is over the scratch line in taking off, or where the competi-
tor runs over the line without jumping, and shall count as a trial
jump without result.
Each competitor shall have three trial jumps, and the best
four shall each have three more trial jumps.
The competition shall be decided by the best of all the trial
jumps of the competitors.
The distance of the run before the scratch line shall be un-
limited.
The outer edge of the take-off or the outer edge of the take-off
produced shall be regarded as the line for trial fouls and meas-
urements in the running broad jump.
THE POLE VAULT.

Sec. 5. The height of the bar at starting and at each suc-
cessive elevation shall be determined by the officials.
Three trials allowed at each height. Each competitor shall
make an attempt in the order in which his name appears on the
programme, then those who have failed shall have a second trial
in regular order, and those failing on this trial shall take their
final trial.
Displacing the bar counts as a try.
A line shall be drawn fifteen feet in front of the bar and
parallel with it crossing this line in an attempt shall be a balk.
;
Two balks constitute a try.

Leaving the ground in an attempt shall constitute a try.
A competitor may omit his trials at any height, but if he fail
at the next height he shall not be allowed to go back and try
the height he omitted.
The poles shall have no assisting devices, exc'ept that they
may be wound or wrapped with any substance for the purpose
of affording a firmer grasp, and may have one spike at the lower
end. No competitor shall, during his vault, raise the hand
which was uppermost when he left the ground to a higher
point on the pole, nor shall he raise the hand which was under-
most when he left the ground to any point on the pole above
the other hand.
Poles shall be furnished by the club giving the games, but
contestants may use their private poles if they so desire, and no

contestant shall be allowed to use any of these private poles
except by the consent of their owners. The poles shall be un-
limited as to size and weight.
Any competitor shall be allowed to dig a hole not more than
one foot in diameter at the take-off in which to plant his pole.
In case of a tie the officials shall raise or lower the bar at
their discretion, and those competitors who have tied shall be
allowed one trial at each height.
In handicaps where a tie occurs, the scratch man or man with
the smallest allowance shall be given the place.
The rule governing the Running Broad Jump shall also

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 jobber as well as for the retail dealer. To meet these conditions
of Dual r^rofits, the manufacturer is obliged to set a proportionately high list
price on his goods to the consumer. ,,,.,. ,
To enable the glib salesman, when bookmg his orders, to figure out
attractive profits to both the jobber and retailer, these high list -iices 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. ,
,. , . r ^ ,
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
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 lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his turn, meets this
still
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 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
The " Spalding Policy " eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding
Goods are concerned, and the retcdl 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 necessary
quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Qyality.
All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supply
consumers at our regular printed catalogue prices— neither more nor less-the same
prices that similar goods are sold for in our Nev^ York, Chicago and other stores.
All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spaldirig Athletic Goods, are treated
exactly alike, and no special rebates or discriininations 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.
W^-848
In other words, " The SpeJding Policy" is a "square deal'Vor 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 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 Experts. 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 "Qyality,** for

thirty-seven years, caused their
Trade-Mark to become known throughout
the world as a Guarantee of Qyality as dependable in their field as the
U, S. Currency is in its field.
Thenecessity of upholding the Guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and

maintaining the Standard Qyality 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 Qyality and preventing fraudulent substitution will be ineffectual.
Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being
high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered smd 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 Qyality
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 Qyality.
