THE SPALDING TRADE-MARK IS THE
FOUNDATION OF THE SPALDING BUSINESS
V
Spalding's
Athletic Library
Anticipating the present ten-
dency of the American people
toward a healthful method of living
and enjoyment, Spalding's Athletic
Library was established in 1892 for
the purpose of encouraging ath-
letics in every form, not only by-
publishing the official rules and
records pertaining to the various
pastimes, but also by instructing,
until to-day Spalding's Athletic
Library is unique in its own par-
ticular field and has been conceded
the greatest educational series on
athletic and physical training sub-
jects that has ever been compiled.
The publication of a distinct
series of books devoted to athletic
sports and pastimes and designed
to occupy the premier place in
America in its class was an early
idea of Mr. A. G. Spalding, who
was one of the first in America
to publish a handbook devoted to
athletic sports, Spalding's Official
Base Ball Guide being the initial
number, which was followed at intervals with other handbooks on the
sports prominent in the '70s.
Spalding's Athletic Library has had the advice and counsel of Mr. A. G.
Spalding in all of its undertakings, and particularly in all books devoted
to the national game. This applies especially to Spalding's Official
Base Ball Guide and Spalding's Official Base Ball Record, both of which
receive the personal attention of Mr. A. G. Spalding, owing to his early
connection with the game as the leading pitcher of the champion Boston
and Chicago teams of 1872-76. His interest does not stop, however, with
matters pertaining to base ball; there is not a sport that Mr. Spalding
does not make it his business to become familiar with, and that the
Library will always maintain its premier place, with Mr. Spalding's able
counsel at hand, goes without saying.
The entire scries since the issue of the first number has been under
the direct personal supervision of Mr. James E. Sullivan, President
of the American Sports Publishing Company, and the total series of
consecutive numbers reach an aggregate of considerably over three
hundred, included in which are many "annuals," that really constitute
the history of their particular sport in America year by year, back copies
of which are even now eagerly sought for, constituting as they do the
really first authentic records of events and official rules that have ever
been consecutively compiled.
When Spalding's Athletic Library nras founded, seventeen years agow
track and field athletics were practically unknown outside the larger
-colleges and a few athletic clubs in the leading cities, which gave occa-
lional meets, when an entry list of 250 competitors was a subject of com-
ment; golf was known only by a comparatively few persons; lawn tennis
had some vogue and base ball was practically the only established field
A. G. Spalding
EDITORS OF SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY
sport, and that in a professional way; basket ball had just been invented;
athletics for the schoolboy— and schoolgirl— were almost unknown, and
an advocate of class contests in athletics in the schools could not get a
hearing. To-day we find the greatest body of athletes in the world is
the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, which has had
an entry list at its annual games of over two thousand, and in whose
"elementary series" in base ball last year 106 schools competed for the
trophy emblematic of the championship.
While Spalding's Athletic Library cannot claim that the rapid growth
of athletics in this country is due to it solely, the fact cannot be denied
that the books have had a great deal to do with its encouragement, by
printing the official rules and instructions for playing the various games
at a nominal price, within the reach of everyone, with the sole object
that its series might be complete and the one place where a person
could look with absolute certainty for the particular book in which he
might be interested.
In selecting the editors and writers for the various books, the lead-
ing authority in his particular line has been obtained, with the result
that no collection of books on athletic subjects can compare with
Spalding's Athletic Library for the prominence of the various authors
and their ability to present their subjects in a thorough and practical
manner.
A short sketch of a few of those who have edited some of the lead-
ing numbers of Spalding's Athletic Library is given herewith :

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Introduction
No history of athletic achiovoment in the Unitod States is more
interesting than that of Base Ball. Every surrounding adds to the
charm of its environment. Its most successful and most brilliant
feats are accomplished before thousands of fascinated spectators,
and when the season is completed the story of its past is seldom
devoid of less charm than the ability to be present when its most
skillful attainments are performed in actual j)lay.
In presenting tliis issue of Spalding's Official Base Ball
iJecord to the great army of "fans," who are scattered from one
ocean to the other, the publishers are confident that they have
embraced within the pages even more facts of general importance
than they have accumulated in the past.
There is a distinction between the Base Ball Record and
Spalding's Base Ball Guide which appeals more and more to the
readers of Base Ball history. The Kecord is an encyclopedia of
facts briefly and succinctly stated.
The Guide is a review of Base Ball affairs, and as its name
implies a mentor and a teacher in the wonderful national game of
the United States, a game which is the admiration of thousands
of votaries of sports in foreign countries, as they learn more and
more of the wonderful system which controls a pastime in which
more than 7,000,000 spectators are interested alone in the series
of two major leagues.
The Record deals in a concise manner with the active perform-
ances of players. That is its object. It gives tabulated informa-
tion as to the plays that Smith, or Jones, or Brown actively took
part in during the year.
It relates in accurate and condensed form all the history of the
year, not only its active history on the diamond, but its history
as relates to changes, progress and management.
It is evident, therefore, that from season to season the volumes
of the Base Ball Record will become more valuable to the student
of Base Ball, to the historian and to the man who reads Base Ball
for the intense personal satisfaction which he derives from perus-
ing literature of the national game.
The task of collecting the data within the pages of this volume
has been stupendous. Until one undertakes to single out here and
there tbe greater achievements of the Base Ball world, one can
gather no idea of the accumulative collection of statistics which is
a part of the sport. To sift down the best of a certain kind of
play may require the work of a month, patiently following through
the long mazes of a season the records of the players.
Each year develops facts, some of which had been buried and
some of which had been forgotten, but each year brings the Base
Ball Record nearer a condition of perfection. This volume, which
is presented this season to the "marching thousands of fans." ten
years from now will come like a revelation, when comparison is
sought to be made with the now present and that future whose
history is yet in abeyance.
There is no limit to the possibilities of Base Ball. There can be
none when a nation is engaged in its development. As splendidly
as our players have dono in the past, and are doing now, there is
none living who mav tell what the athletes of lOliO will be able to
accomplish when they become past masters on the field of the
national game.
To the practical Base Ball man, who has been watching the
careers of half a dozen youngst(>rs in various organizations, the
Base Ball Record is a manual of necessity. Its publication is
looked forward to witli great interest, and year after year it
becomes more and more a necessity for reference and consultation.

dt*lphia National League club for the sum of $250,000 on December

sion at the annual meeting of that body in Cincinnati and John E.
Bruce was re-elected secretary.

by the National Commission. He was one of the players of a major
league who jumped to the outlaw California organization. Stricklett
and Sheehan, formerly of the Brooklyn club, were denied reinstate-
ment. So was Pfyl, forpierly of the New York Nationals, and
Henderson, who declined to sign with Cleveland. It was announced
that these players would be compelled to make personal apitlicalion
before their cases would be touched upon. JL Smith, oiitticlder of
the outlaw league, was awarded to the Chicago National League club,
it being established that he had signed a National League contract
prior to the recognition of the outlaws by the National Commission.
14 — Owners of National League clubs decided by mail vote that between
the dates of :\Iay 10 and August 19, inclusive, they would carry but

ing or that he had even considered doing anything of the kind.

Chester, I'a., to Miss Bertha INlajor. A petition was filed with the

April 20 and close about September 28. The new constitution of the
organization was ratified, the salary limit was abolished, clubs may
carry as many players as they i)lease. every player who takes part
in a game must have signed a contract, and the organization decided
to work independently of the American Association, with which it had
been affiliated in Base Ball legislation. The date of the annual
meeting was changed to one day previous to the date of the winter
meeting of the National League in New York City.
7— Adams Crocker, catcher for Harvard University nine in 1885, died at
Fitchburg, Mass.
8— Frank R. Lafferty. pitcher for the Quicksteps in 1873. died suddenly

merly a New York National League player, anplled for reinstat(>ment
after he had jumped to an outlaw league in California, denied the
application, on the ground that the player had not shown suflicient
cause for his desertion of the New York club.
14 — Members of the Board of Directors of the National League held their
annual meeting in New Y'ork and assessed a fine of $250 against
the Philadelphia club for forfeiting the final game of the season in

prime as "Bug" Holliday. when an outfielder for the Cincinnati Base
Ball club, died in Cincinnati after a long illness. The Pittsburg
Base Ball club relinquished the services of Willis, pitcher, to the
St. Louis club of the National League. Members of the National
League met in New York city and discussed the two forms of schedule
which had been proposed for the season without arriving at an agree-
ment. Members of the American League met in Chicago and discussed
the plan of continuance of their organization. The ten years' agree-
ment between the clubs was about to expire and a committee had
prepared another to be submitted to the league.
16— Byron Bancroft Johnson was re-elected president of the American
League for a term of twenty years after that organization had
decided to extend its life twenty years. It was reported that the
salary of the president had been increased to $25,000. In the new
agreement of the American League a clause was inserted reading as
follows: "Syndicate Base Ball is prohibited, except as an emergency
measure, and only with the consent of the league's president and
directors shall a stockholder in one club own or control stock in
another club in the American League, under penalty of being voted
and dealt with as an undesirable associate, and barred from all con-
nections with the league." The American League voted to i)lace the
division of gate receipts in the city of Philadeli)hia on exactly the
same basis as it is regulated in other cities of the organization.
The annual schedule was made public. At the meeting of the
National League the entire day was taken up in the discussion of the
legislative affairs of the organization. Power was voted to the ofTf-
cials of the organizatiou to fine offenders on the bench who address
remarks to the umpires during the progress of a game. Announce-
ment was made by the Chicago American League club that George
Davis had been given his unconditional release.

similar to that which was agreed upon at the joint conference in
Pittsburg. A change was made in the constitution of the National
League whereby the votes of five clubs were Citnstitutcd sufficient to
elect any officer in the organization. An amendniiiit was made In

York National League clubs and the National Commission, was

Reports of Annual Meetings
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Pour annual meetings were held in the Fall of 1910 which
attracted more than passing attention. The tirst was that of
the National Association of I'rofessional Base Ball Clubs (the
minor leagues), which convened at Cnicago, November 15-17, 1910.
W. n. Lucas was granted territorial rights to form a new league
in the Northwest. The circuit was to be composed of Salt Lake
City and Ogden, in Utah; Butte, Helena. Great Falls and Missoula
in Montana, and Boise City and Twin Falls, Idaho.
The Western League arid "Three I"' League were unwilling to
submit to a new classification, in view of the reports of the last
census, and the officials of the National Association decided to
stand by them.
Secretary Farrell reported that during the year recently closed
he had handled 2,o46 telegrams, 10,145 contracts of players, 2,155
releases of players, which had to be promulgated through his office,
295 optional agreements. 850 suspensions and 262 reinstatements.
From the National League $46,700 were received for drafted
players, from the American League $37,800, and from the National
Association $58,700.
M. H. Sexton was re-elected president of the organization and
J^ H. Farrell secretary. It was decided to hold the next annual
Ukteting at San Antonio, Texas.
Among the more important pieces of legislation adopted were the
following :
Money going through the secretary's hands to the credit of
defaulting players, clubs or leagues, can be seized by him to satisfy
the defaults.
Contract jumpers can be reinsated under certain conditions.
The periods at which protection must be secured and from which
all yearly obligations must date, was changed from October 15 to
September 1.
The board of arbitration was selected as follows : W. M. Kava-
naugh. Little Rock, Ark. ; F. R. Carson, South Bend. Ind. ; T. H.

Farrell, Auburn, N. Y., chairman and secretary.
EASTERN LEAGUE
At the annual meeting of the Eastern League, held in New York,
December 12, 1910, the principal action taken was the refusal to
continue the tenure of office of P. T. Powers as president after
a long service. He was succeeded by Edward G. Barrows, manag-er
of the Montreal Base Ball Club in 1910 and previously manager of
the Toronto Club in the same league.

examination before the beginning of each season. It was also
agreed to play a schedule of \'}4 games, the tirst to be played on
April \-2 and the last on October 12, 1011.
The making of a schedule was left to President Lynch. Secretary
Ileydler and Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the I'ittsburg club. Of the
minor cases which came i)efore the Board of Directors the more
important were those of Ferguson, pitcher for Boston ; Maddox,
I»itchi'r for Tittsburg, and (.'anmitz, pitcher for I'ittsburg.
The board decided that Ferguson was entitled to a bonus of $500
for good work with the team. It was also decided that the Pitts-
burg club should pay Maddox for fifteen days which he lost because
bis contract was transferred. Camnitz claimed a bonus from the
Pittsburg club, but the Board of Directors postponed action on the
case until Camnitz could appear before them at the February

appointed by tlie president.
The championship was formally awarded to Chicago. The suc-
cess of the organization in ]i)10 was reported to have been uni-
formly good. Some clubs were very prosperous and nearly all
mcire than covered expenses.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Little business was transacted at the annual meeting of the
American League, held in New York, December 15, 1910. That had
been predicted in advance by I'resident Johnson. Tli(> few affairs
which were to be adjusted were largely perfunctory.
The sensation of the mi-eting was the announcement of Robert
Lee Hedges, owner of the majority stock of the St. Louis club, that
he had decided to retire from the game. He stated to the owner.s
of the league that he had been offered a comfortable sum for his
stock in St. Louis artd was on the point of accepting it.
A committee of three, consisting of I'resident Johnson, Charles
A. Comiskey of Chic-ago and Frank Farrell of New York, was
appointed to confer with Mr. Hedges. He went into detail regard-
ing the situation in St. Louis. He said that his physician had
ordered that he take a rest and he had decided that he would
sever his connection wita the national game.
James K. McAleer, who had previously expressed a wish to
purchase a franchise in the American League, was notified of the
condition of affairs and it was suggested to him that he could
secure the St. Louis franchise. He discussed the matter, but came
to the conclusion that the price asked by Mr. Hedges was too large
and withdrew. It was then announced that the committee would
go to St. Louis and confer with the men in that city who had
shown a willingness to purchase the club.
The American League stated that its annual schedule of games
would call for 154 contests, to begin on April 12 and to finish on
October (>, liUl, that plenty of opportunity might be had for the
world's series.
Frank Farrell, owner of the New York .American League club,
gave an informal dinner to the AmcMican and National League
representatives and to the newspaper writers on the evening of
December 14.
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASK BALL KIXORD. 53
What the Players Did in 1910
In many ways the study of the records, which were made by
the ball players of the major leagues in 11)10, are very interesting.
First of all there are many of tlio younger aspirants for fame on
the Base Ball tield who have made excell(>ut names for themselves.
To tliose who are interested in the steady development of Base
Ball as a oa^time, and who are solicitous tliat the sport shall never
suffer a relapse from the playing standard which has been set
through more than two generations, it is welcome news to read
that the younger element of the past season made it apparent that
the ball player of to-day can accomplish quite as much as the
hall player of yesterday.
It cannot be denied that there Is a wonderful amount of interest
in studying the comparisons of well-known players who were promi-
nent in th<» sport in one era or another.
Some features have been made more prominent in Base Ball than
they were twenty years ago. That is but natural. It would be
a poor sport which could not evolve something which would bring
it nearer a stage of perfection. Very likely there will be features
in Base Ball ten years from now which shall be a modification of
those which are in existence to-day, although the foundation of
the game will not materially change.
In a way Base Ball records bring out the same information in
re;;ard to players from year to year. Base hits are to be made,
l)SQ^s are to be stolen, runs are to be batted home, pitchers are
to make reputations, catchers are to acquire fame for their ability
to catch fleet runners, and fielders are to try to surpass each
otlier in the number of chances which they may accept on the
diamond.
In another way each year brings forth more possibilities from
the same players, and for that team-work and the patient Instruc-
tion of managers is largely responsible. This is so much in evi-
dence and so highly esteemed by those who gather Base Ball
statistics, that each year sees more careful compilation and more
elaboration of the finer points which go to establisli as nearly
accurate as possible the general work of the individual.
There is another feature of Base Ball statistics which adds to
the charm of studying the records. That is the steady progress
which is made by each play(^r.
In his first year a capable man, fresh from the minor leagues,
who has the natural instinct but has not absorbed all the various
details of the game, makes a fair impression by the quality of the
work which he has done.
The year following the unerring statistical compilation of what
he has accomplished on th(> field shows his improvement. A third
year he is even better, and so on through his Base Ball career
the statistics which are reported annually in Spai.dincj's Base
Ball Record, tell the story of honest and manly athletic achieve-
ment.
The young player, who is making his start in the minor leagues,
is as solicitous as to his performances on the field as the i)layer
of greater experience, who holds very highly the story of his
Base Ball life which is told from year to year. Great care and
much diligence has been us(^d in obtaining the official figures of
the minor organization for this year's Bash P.all Becord. In this

THE. TWO PITCHERS USED BY THE ATHLETICS IN THE WORLD'S
SERIES.
Sr.VLDINcrS OFI-'ICIAL HASK BALL ULCOUI).
Athletics Win World's Series
55
In 1905 the Athlotics of the American League played the New-
York club of the National League for the championship of the
world, under the new rules formulated bj' John T. Brush and
adopted by both major organizations, and New York won with four
victories in live games.
In lUlO the Athletics had their second opportunity to try to win
the honor which they had lost five years before, and succeeded.
They beat Chicago four games out of live, their success strangdv
enough being identical with that of the New York club against
them, although the sequence of their victories was not the same.
In 1905 the New York club lost the second game of the series,
and in 1910 the Athletics lost the fourth game of the series.
While various reasons have been attributed for the non-success of
the Chicagos, it is quite evident that better batting on the part of
the Athletics, and undoubtedly betti'r pitching on the part of the
Philadelphia staff, were primarily responsibb^ for tin' defeat of the
team which had won more than one worlds cbaiii])i()nshi]). In only
one game of the series, the fourth, which was won bv Chicago,
was the comparison such that the teams seemed to be playing on
an even basis. In other contests the Athletics were manifestly
superior to their adversaries.
It was not a series of frequently repeated brilliant fielding plays,
nor one where a single run, alternating to the possession of one
cQ';b to the other, kept the crowds in a fever of impatient admira-
tion. Most of the contests were hard-batting exhibitions, and the
Athletic strong men rapped the ball right and left and straight to
the front with such frequency that when they did score they
usually made runs in blocks.
Financially the series, like all played under the auspices of the
National Commission, was a great success. Artistically there have
been better displays of the national game, but so smoothly was
the series conducted that the members of the major league circuits
w^ere congratulated heartily when the games were over on the fact
that they had added another meritorious chapter to Base Ball
history.
The scores of the games and the general results are as follows :

^.. ATTENDANCE AND RECEIPTS.
Receipts of the 1910 ^yorId's Championship Series did not quite
equal the record made by Pittsburg last year when the attendance
was 145,295 and the receipts $188,302.50, but that great total
was for seven games, whereas the Athletic-Chicago series ended
with the fifth game. In this series the total paid attendance was
124.222, and the total receipts $173,980. Of this amount the clubs'
share was $38,755.03 each ; the National Commission's share was
$17,398 ; and the players' share was $79,071.93. Of this 60
per cent., or $47,443.15 goes to the winners, and $31,628.77 to the
losers. As there are 23 players on each team eligible to partici-
pate, each of the Athletics was entitled in round numbers to
$2,062.79 and each Chicagoan to $1,375.16. The players' total was
increased by courtesy of the National Commission, which ruled
that in the event of a Sunday game, if the receipts were larger
than those of any previous day, the smallest receipts should be
considered as accruing' to the fifth game and the Sunday receipts
accredited to the fourth contest, the last in which the players had
a financial share. Following are the figures :
Attendance. Receipts.
First game, Philadelphia 26.891 $37,424.50

Post Season Series in New York
Except for the series played for the world's championship, the
games which took place at the expiration of the regular season in
New York between the teams of the National League and the
American League were the most successful in the history of organ-
ized Base Ball.
The New York Nationals won four games and the series. The
contests took place under the management of the National Com-
mission. The New Y'ork Americans won two games. The fourth
game between the teams was a tie.
Throughout the series the wonderful pitching of Mathewson was
perhaps the feature which most attracted the attention of the
enthusiasts. He took part in three winning games and went to the
assistance of Drucke in the seventh inning of a fourth game. The
bases were filled, with no one out, but Mathewson succeeded in
retiring the side with three runs for the Highlanders, which were
not enough to win.
Ford, the most successful pitcher for the New Y'ork Americans
during the year, did not succeed in winning a game from the
Giants. Warhop pitched a winning game against them, and after
Vaughn had been batted out of the box, Quinn, of tne New Y'ork
Americans, held the lead which had been gained by his team and
won the second contest for the Highlanders.
Devore played a splendid fielding and batting game for the
Giants. Twice Doyle clinched victory for the New York Nationals
b.t batting the ball for a home run with two men on bases. His
base running was one of the most daring features of the series and
he fielded brilliantly.
Merkle played fine ball for the New York Nationals, both at the
bat and in the field, and so did Meyers, the catcher. Sweeney,
catcher for the New York Americans, was the most unfortunate
player on either team, for he was injured early in the first contest
and was prevented from again taking part in the games during
the series.
Chase, Wolter, Hemphill and Knight shone for the New Y'ork
Americans at the bat and in the field. Wolter replaced Daniels,
who seemed to be ineffective as a batter against the New York
National pitchers. The players were blessed with wonderfully good
weather and the attendance was larger than that of the first
world's series and exceeded the expectations of both owners and
players.
The opening game was played before more than 24,000 spectators
and the third game before more than 27,000. Both of these con-
tests took place at the Polo Grounds.
The scores and a summary of the series follow :

Attendance in 1910
At the start the reader of this year's edition of the Record is
vouchsafed the information that within the last three years there
has not been such widely divergent estimates on attendance at
games in the major leagues as were made last season.
Accuracy is not claimed for these figures of attendance. Inas-
much as several of the owners of clubs decline, for reasons of their
own, to make public the daily attendance, it is the custom of the
critics to estimate as accurately as they may the probable number
of spectators at each contest.
In some cities the attendance is made public by the owner. The
Boston American League club, for example, is one which makes a
statement after each game as to the number of patrons. The
Boston National League club does the same thing. It is the cus-
tom in Cleveland and it is the custom in I'ittsburg and Detroit.
Last yesii' there were some cities in which the attendance was
greatly over-estimated. It was due, in a measure, to a mistaken
idea as to the capacity of the stands. In other cities, where the
attendance was estimated, the figures were not far out of the way,
but were valueless, in that they gave no idea as to the business
which was being done by the club-owners, inasmuch as the free
admissions were included with those which were paid.
The total attendance at the National League games in 1910 was
a trifle greater than it was in 1909. That of the American League
games was a trifle less. There is so little difference that the
margin of separation amounts to nothing. In fact, the figures as
they stand indicate a more prosperous season for both leagues, as
the finish of the championship race in both organizations was not
up to the standard of the year preceding.
Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Brooklyn gained in attendance
last year. The clubs of other cities lost in the National l^eague.
In the American Boston, Chicago, New York and Washington
enjoyed better patronage last year than in the year preceding.
In the case of Chicago in the American League the great popu-
larity of the owner of the club, together with the fact that he
completed another of those beautiful stands, which are the marvel
of our national game, undoubtedly accounted for the better patron-
age. Boston started out with championship aspirations, even
though the team did not prove to be of championship caliber, and
any club w^hich has the reputation of being a possible champion-
ship contender will usually enjoy a capital attendance.
New York increased its patronage because the club played
better ball than it had played in a long time. That is one
of the very best reasons in the world for better patronage. If
the Highlanders had been drifting along in the second division,
as they had drifted the year before, there is not much probability
that there would have been thousands more to see them play.
Washington picked up because it plajed better ball, and it
played so much better ball that the owners of the Washington
club will improve their property next year, and for the first time
in the history of Base Ball at the national capital there will be
modern and comfortable accommodations.
Chicago, in the National League, drew more patrons simply be-
cause Chicago surprised most of the Base Ball public by winning
the championship after the team appeared to be retrograding.
St. Louis drew more patrons because the other St. Louis club
was unfortunate, and the National League club, now and then,
spurted in a manner which promised a lively quickstep for some
of the clubs.

SPALDING-S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Cincinnati received siicli a generous amount of advertising at
the start of tlie race tliat the team played to big crowds, and most
of the season managed to k(>ep the games so attractive tliat there
was always interest in them.
Brooklyn picked up because tlie team played better ball than it
did the year before. The New York National League club, whose
drawing power is undisputed, probably was the "hard luck" team
of the j'ear. for the metropolis frequently was inundated on Satur-
days by storms, and this happened with the best attractions in New
York at the time.
Pittsburg did not begin to be as successful in New York as
usual, so far as attendance was concerned, and it was due less
to the fact that the Pittsburg club was not playing so well as it
usually did in some games as it was to the fact that Pittsburg
persistently encountered miserable weather when scheduled to play
in the metropolis.
Nothing like high-water mark has been reached in Basp Ball
attendance. This year's games are likely to bring forth morie
spectators than ever because interest in the race has been shifted
and there promises to be a better struggle for the pennant in cities
which have been without the best of Base Ball in the past,
the season of 1910 are as follows :

SPALDING'S OFFI'IAL BASE BALL RECORD. 93
Chicago— the "Five Hundred" Club
In addition to winning the championship of the National League
last year the Chicago National League club established a record
\'-hich has never before been made in Base Ball and one which,
may remain for a great many years to come, that Is, winning 500
g;\mes in five consecutive years. Their total of victories the past
.^'■ason put them far above the 500 mark, but the mere fact of
winning 500 games, which was accomplished by September 1, makes
lae record authoritative.
One very interesting feature of this wonderful achievement in
Base Ball is the fact that the victories were practically the work
of tne same players. It is true that many men have been released
by Chicago during the five years in question, but the bulk of the
work has fallen on the shoulders of the real bone and sinew of the
Chicago organization.
The mainstays of the pitching staff were the same, and perhaps
the most striking change of all was the release of Slagle, but Hof-
man, who has taken his place, has been with the Chicago club the
tive years in question.
By virtue of their record-breaking feat and as a monument to
emblazon it not only in their own memories but in the memory of
the public, those twelve veterans of the Cub team have planned an
organization which will be unique in Base Ball history.
It will he called the "Five Hundred" Club. Its members are :

Of the score or more of players who have come and gone, many
of them doing their share of winning one or more of the Chicago's
pennants, none has been a member of the team for five seasons,
and of the mystic twelve to be enrolled as charter members of the
new organization John Kling has not played with the Chicagos the
whole five years, having been missing and missed during the entire
season of 1909. But as he was technically as well as legally a
member of the team while absent he is considered eligible, and
without him there would be no backstop in the Five Hundred Club.
In the making of their world's record the Chicagos established
two others which still stand. In 1900 they set 116 as the highest
mark in games won and in 1909 they set 104 as the largest number
of games any team ever won without annexing a pennant. The
nearest to the 500 mark any other team has reached was 487,
which the New York Giants won in the five seasons of 1904-190S,
inclusive, during which they won the pennant twice.
Only in the last seven or eight years have the major leagues
played their present extended schedules of 154 games a year, con-

seqiiontl.v tho old timo aggregations were not able to reach this
mark, although frequently winning as high a percentage of vic-
tories as the Chicagos have done. But the long seasons seem
assured in future and the Chicagos will give posterity something
to shoot at.

Triple Plays in 1910
Men live who have gone to Base Ball games for years, and have
yet to see a triple play. One Base Ball critic reported Base Ball
for ten years before he witnessed such a fielding feat.
This is so unusual in Base Ball that it is worth a page in the
Record. The first triple play of the season took place on the Polo
Grounds in New York. The New York team was playing against
Brooklyn. In the sixth inning, with Wheat and Burch on the
, bases, Bridwell stopped Hummel's grounder and threw to Dovle
for a force out. Doyle doubled the batter at first and Burch. who
had overrun third base, was run down, Merkle to Devlin to Meyers.
The next one took place April 28 at Boston, against Brooklyn.
In the seventh inning Boston started a rally which looked promis-
ing. With two on the bases the prospects of Boston v/ere suddenly
checked when Burch, Daubert, McElveen, Bergen and "Tony" Smith
put through a triple play which dashed Boston's hopes.
In the American League, on May 4, Detroit at Chicago, in
the second inning, with Chicago players on second and first and
none out, Purtell batted a line fly to Simmons, who was plaving
first base. He touched first before' Cole could get back, and, with a
quick throw to Delehanty, caught Dougherty at second.
Detroit participated in a second triple play on June 18, while
playing Boston at Boston. In the fourth inning Lewis drove
the ball on a line toward the corner of the right field bleachers.
After a frantic effort Cobb pulled down the hit and threw to Dele-
hanty, who caught both Gardner and Stahl on the line.
On July 20, at Cincinnati, where New York was playing against
the home team, Doyle was on third and Becker on second for the
Giants. Murray rapped to Downey, who stepped on third, retiring
Doyle as well as the batter, and threw to Egan, retiring Becker.
On July 30, in the National League, Chicago at St. Louis, two
men were on bases, when a line drive was batted to Hauser, who
touched the bag. throwing to Konetchy at first, easily getting the
runner.
For the third time dm-ing the season New York figured when
another triple play was made, on August 27, in a game at Chicago
between New York and Chicago. This play was against New York
and was made by Evers and Zimmerman. Evers caught a line drive
that had been deflected from tne glove of the pitcher, got the
second put-out himself, and tried for the third but found that he
could not make it without throwing to Zimmerman.
On September 2 Cincinnati made a triple play against Pittsburg
on the Cincinnati grounds, the second of the year in Cincinnati.
With Flynn on second and Wilson on first, Gibson filed to Hoblitzell.
Hoblitzell threw to Egan, who was covering first, retiring Wilson,
and Egan's relay to McMillan at second got Flynn.
On September 18, at Chicago, in u game between Boston and
Chicago in the American League another triple play was added to
the record of the junior major league. Chicago plavers accom-
plished this. Stahl and Lewis were on the bases for Boston. Pur-
tell lined to Parent, who was playing second base, and Parent
threw to Zeider, doubling Stahl ofE second. Zeider shot the ball
over to Gandil at first and Lewis was retired.
Still another triple play was added to the long and unusual list
of the National League in a game between Chicago and Cincinnati
on October 2. It took place in the third inning of the game at
Cincinnati when a fly ball was batted to Sheckard. He fielded it
home in time for the second out, and Kling, who got the ball,
caueht the olaver off first. Archer making the third put-out.

The Washington Monument Feat
Twice the Washington
monument has been
''taken" by the ball player.
As two of them have
conquered the Washington
monument, placed it com-
pletely at their command
as it ' were, it is no longer
considered impossible.
Ball players had essayed
to catch a ball dropped
from the monument before
Charles Street, catcher for
the Washington club, was
finally successful in 1908.
Street, accompanied _ by
some friends and fortified
with the consent of the
United States authorities,
quietly made his way to
the monument and pre-
pared for the test. One of
his companions climbed to
a little window far above
the surface of the earth,
and threw the ball to the
ground. First he dropped
it and after that he tossed
it. Twelve times Street
failed to catch the hall.
On the thirteenth attempt
he succeeded in holding it,
and after many years the
fiction that no human
being was able to catch a
ball dropped from that
height, was exploded.
After Street's success
William D. Sullivan,
catcher for the Chicago
American club, conceived
the idea that he could
catch a ball dropped or
thrown from the monu-
ment, and decided that he
would make the effort to
equal the feat in which
Street had been successful.
On August 24, 1910,
with a party of friends
from the Chicago American
League club, among them
l)itcher White of the team,
he went to the monument.
Tn the first efforts the
l)all was dropped to Sulli-
van, but this did not seem
to be satisfactory, owing
to the fact that the wind
carried it to one side.
Dr. White, the Chicago
pitcher, therefore an-
nounced to Sullivan that
instead of dropping the ball
he would toss it from the
window with force.
Not until the twenty-
fourth ball had been thrown
^ was he able to hold it.
^ After that he caught two
. more both of which were
^ tossed from the monument
i with some force by White.
The distance was 542 feet.

Cy" Young's Marvelous Career
111
"Cy" Young made his debut
against the Chicago club in 1890,
pitching for Cleveland. It was not
the Chicago club of 1889, because
some of the old Chicago players had
deserted the National League and
gone to the Brotherhood, but was a
club on which Anson was playing,
and some fast men whom he had
picked up here and there in the
general scramble for new material,
and it was a club which was much
better than Cleveland.
When the Chicago players saw
Young they began to laugh. The
s])ectators were inclined to guy the
awkward-looking country boy "a lit-
tle, but Young, with that quiot
sweetness of disposition which has
made him a favorite with all men
all of his life, went about his way
in a simple manner and started to
pitch. Chicago
won that game,
but "Cy" Young
won the admira-
tion of the
Cleveland en-
thusiasts at the,
same time, and]
from the first
day of his appearance became a Cleveland idol, for
it was evident that he would become a great pitcher.
This season, in the second game of a double-header
against Washington, Young pitched. It was his
500th victory since he has been a pitcher in the
major leagues. It took him twenty-one years to do
it and he is the only Base Ball pitcher who has been able to attain
such an achievement.
In hi.si long career on the diamond prior to 1910 he had failed
but three times to win more than half of his games in a single
season. In 1905 he was within one game of breaking even, and if
the Boston American League club had not been thoroughly demor-
alized, the chances are that he would have won more than half.
Young's pitching record is as follows :

This record is computed on basis of total runs scored off each pitcher,
divided by the number of innings pitched; then multiplied by nine, to
arrive at his average effectiveness per complete game.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 127
Drafted Players of 1910
That a complete record may be had of the young players who
progressed from the minor leagues to the major, it has seemed
best to publish the names of the drafted players each season in the
annual Hkcord. This will be found of great assistance to editors
and others who seek to trace the careers of those who are engaged
in professional Base Ball.
The players drafted in 1910 are as follows :

The championship season of the Pacific Coast League ended on November 6,
with Portland winning the pennant. The race was the closest and most
interesting in the history of the league, and the issue was not definitely
settled until the last week of the campaign. The Oakland team, under the
able handling of the veteran Harry Wolverton, finished a close second. The
1909 champions, San Francisco, were in the race the greater part of the
season, but accidents to players in the latter part of the campaign resulted in
their dropping to third place. Vernon, the previous season's tail-ender,
secured fourth place. Los Angeles and Sacramento were the disappointments
of the season, finishing fifth and last, respectively.

^D
The first championship sea-
son of the Eastern Kansas
League ended on September
15, with Sabetha as the pen-
nant winner. Sabetha took
the lead about the middle of
July and held it throughout
the remainder of the season.
Seneca landed in second place
at the same time and also re-
mained there until the close
of the campaign. Hiawatha
and Marysville had a hard
struggle for third place from
the middle of July up to the
last two weeks of the season,
Hiawatha finally securing it
by a narrow margin. Ilorton,
during the latter part of the
season, had a look-in for first
division honors, but finally-
landed in fifth place, being-
only five points behind Marys-
ville and twelve behind Hia-
watha. Blue Rapids, taking
the place of Holton, was last
all season, with the excep-
tion of one week in July,
when they were in fifth
position.

SrALDlNG'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
American Association
Joe Cantillon's Min-
Sept. [neapolis team won the
17J4 pennant in this league
~^with the largest num-
ber of victories ever re-
corded in any season
since the organization
of the league. A curious
feature about the new
championship team is
that it is composed en-
tirely of former veteran
major league players,
under a former major
league umpire and man-
ager. The struggle for
half the season was
close between Minne-
apolis, St. Paul, Toledo
and Indianapolis, but
by July Minneapolis
began to draw away so
fast that the final re-
sult was never in doubt. '
The battle for the place
was very interesting
between Toledo, Colum-
bus and St. Paul, which
Toledo secured in the
last week of play, and
Columbus nosed out St.
Paul for third position.
Kansas City finished in
fifth place. Milwaukee
and Indianapolis were
sixth and seventh, re-
spectively. The great-
est slump of all was
Louisville, from leaders
in 1909 to tail-enders.

Moeller of Jersey City, although his team finished next to last, led in
base stealing, having 47 in 158 games. Naturally he wasi also the best
run getter, tallying 96 times. Osborn of Rochester had the greatest number
of hits, 176 in 156 games, in addition to which he had 25 sacrifice hits.
Rochester, although winning the pennant, was third in club batting, being
surpassed in that respect by Toronto and Baltimore.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Southern Association
New Orleans, for the
second time in the ten-
year career of this suc-
cessful league, won the
championship in rather
an easy manner, the
race being definitely
settled several weeks
before the close of the
season. Thus interest
centered in the very
close race between Bir-
mingham and Atlanta
for the second position,
which was tentatively
won by the former the
last week in August.
The former champions
put up a good fight, but
had to be content with
third place. Chattan-
ooga, Nashville, Mobile
and Memphis fought
hard for fourth place,
which went to Chat-
tanooga, who took the
place of Little Rock in
the league. Montgom-
ery finished last.

TOPEKA
The eleventh annual
championship season of
the Western League
came to an end on Oc-
tober 5, after a success-
ful season of 168 games,
with Sioux City as the
pennant winner, and
Denver taking second
place after a strenuous
battle with the cham-
pions. During the last
part of the season Sioux
City and Denver had
the field to themselves,
both finally winning
over 100 games. Lincoln
finished third, advanc-
ing from seventh place
in the 1909 campaign,
and Wichita made up
the balance of the first
division teams, while
Omaha dropped from
third place in 1909 to
fifth place in 1910. St.
Joseph, which took the
place of Pueblo, finished
sixth. Des Moines, the
1909 champions, were a
poor seventh. Topeka
tumbled from fourth
place in 1909 to the last
ditch in 1910, with a
remarkable record of
games lost, having won
but 42 games out of 167
played.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. I59
Central League
The eighth annual
championship campaigri
of this league came to a
close on September 21,
with South Bend the win-
ner of the pennant for
the first time in the his-
tory of the league. Fort
Wayne, the runner-up,
gave the winners a hard
fight for first place all
through the season, but
South Bend was a sure
winner a few weeks be-
fore the close of the race.
Dayton, Evansville and
Terra Haute all had a
good chance for first
division honors, and they
finally finished in the
order named. The most
surprising incident of the
season was the playing of
Wheeling and Zanesville,
winner and runner-up of
the previous season, who
were never in the run-
ning, Zanesville finally
landing in sixth place
and Wheeling having to
be content with the last
position. Taken as a
whole, the season was a
remarkably prosperous
one, almost every club in
the league having a good
balance on the right side,
and the brand of ball
played by the teams was
in all respects high class.

The Connecticut League came
to a sensational close on Sep-
tember 10, after a successful
season, by a grand race between
Mickey Finn's Waterbury and
Eugene McCann's Bridgeport
clubs. The championship race
was not decided until next to
the last day of the season,
when Waterbury defeated
Bridgeport and won the 1910
pennant. New Britain finished
third, after a struggle with
New Haven, the latter having
to be content with fourth place.
The champion Hartford team
had a poor season, and finally
landed in fifth place. Spring-
field was on the heels of Hart-
ford all during the campaign,
and at the close of the season
was safely anchored in sixth
place. Northampton never ap-
peared to have a chance to get
better than seventh. Holyoke
dropped from second position
in 1909 to last place in 1910.

Indiana-Illinois-Iowa League
Springfield won all the way
in the championship race in
the "Three -Eye" League,
although it was exciting all
season between the winner
and Rock Island. Both these
teams have been alternating
in first place since 1907, when
Rock Island won the cham-
pionship. Peoria and Water-
loo put up a great battle for
third honors, the former win-
ning out in the last month of
the campaign. Bloomington
finished fifth and Dubuque
sixth. Davenport, who fin-
ished third in 1909, dropped
to seventh place, and Dan-
ville, who succeeded Cedar
Rapids, finished the same as
her predecessor did — in last
place. The league was greatly
strengthened by the addition
of Waterloo, which took De-
catur's place, as the latter
finished seventh the previous
season, while Waterloo landed
in the first division.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
New England League
Under the able guidance of
the veteran. Tommy Dowd,
the New Bedford team cap-
tured the pennant of this
league for the first time in
the history of the organiza-
tion. The campaign during
the latter part of the season
was confined to New Bed-
ford, Lynn, Worcester and
Lowell, and they finished in
the order named. The Lynn
team played great ball dur-
ing the last few weeks of the
season and nosed out Wor-
cester, the four -time win-
ners, for second honors.
Under the guidance of Fred
Tenney the Lowell team
managed to land in the first
division. Fall River, after
holding down second place
for over a month, dropped
to filth position. Lawrence
finished sixth. Haverhill and
Brockton fought it out for
last place all season, Brock-
ton finally landing there.

The tenth annual championship race of this league was conducted upon a
four-club basis, owing to the refusal of the Pacific Coast League to further
sharing of its Portland territory. This necessitated the withdrawal of Port-
land and the dropping of Aberdeen, as no suitable substitute city could be
found. The four-club circuit proved fairly successful. The race ended
September 25, with the Spokane club as the pennant winners. Vancouver
was second, but during parts of June and July was in first place for five
weeks. Tacoma took the lead at the beginning of the season and retained it
until the first week in June, when they dropped to third place and remained
there, with the exception of one week in August when they were second,
until the end of the season. Seattle, the 1909 champions, took an awful
slump. They dropped to the cellar position the third week in May and con-
tinue in that position throughout the season.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
187
Tri-State League
For the first time in its his-
tory Altoona won the pennant
in this league. From the mid-
dle of June, when they secured
first place, the Altoona team
was never headed, and they
were assured of the pennant
several weeks before the close
of the season. Lancaster, Wil-
liamsport and Trenton had a
close fight for over a month for
second place, finishing the sea-
son in the order named. Tren-
ton moved up from seventh
position in 1909 to fourth place
in 1910. Johnstown and Har-
risburg finished the same as in
the preceding year, while Read-
ing finished seventh. York,
though playing good ball the
latter part of the season, was
again the tail-ender. President
Carpenter states: "In the
averages herewith appended,
the times at bat, runs and hits
of the Reading-Trenton game
of September 16, and the Har-
risburg-Altoona, Williamsport-
Johnstown and Trenton-Read-
ing games of September 7 are
not included, as a matter of
fairness to the players of the
league who did not burlesque
the pastime. These games
were of 58, 40, 57 and 50 hits,
respectively. Players should
realize they are working the
game an injury by any lack of
seriousness, as it is not so
firmly entrenched that its sup-
porters will stand for anything
but the most conscientious ef-
forts at all times. "

Fourteen batters hit for over .300 last season, one of whom led in base
stealing. Cmilson of Altoona with 60, he also leading in number of runs
scored, 81 in 110 games.
Pitcher Gaskill of Harrisburg holds the 1910 strike-out record with 13
made against Lancaster at the latter city on June 8. Hafford and Craig
of Trenton each hold records for eleven struck out.
The new grounds at Reading. "Circus Maximus." said to be the finest
in I'ennsylvania outside of Philadelphia and I'ittsburg, were opened on
May 4 with appropriate ceremonies. Trenton was the opi)ouent and won.
Steele of Altoona pitched a double header against Trenton at the latter
city on June 27 and won both contests. Gaskill of Harrisburg, at Harris-
burg two daysi later essayed the same feat against Altoona and was
successful.
Ohio and Pennsylvania League
The race in this league was
the closest of any in the minor
league arena during the sea-
son of 1910. For a week pre-
vious to the deciding game
Akron and Canton had practi-
cally been tied, and the cham-
pionship was not decided
until the very last day of the
season (September 5), when
the Akron and Canton teams
were scheduled to play two
games. The latter won the
morning game, which created
a tie. The second game and
the championship was won
by Akron for the third suc-
cessive time when Pitcher
Nelson of the Akron team ,
hit for a home run with a
man on base. McKeesport,
East Liverpool, Mansfield
and New Castle were never
Bure of their positions in the
race until practically a few
days before the close of the
season, when they finished
in the order named. Erie,
the tailender at the close of
the season, led the league
from the middle of May to
the middle of July. In fact,
all positions in the race
were in an unsettled state.
Youngstown, who finished
seventh, was In last place
from the third week in June
until the last week of the
campaign. Early in the sea-
son President Wright died
and the league was conducted
by Vice-President Maxwell.

Western Canada League
The third annual championship
campai^rn of this league was
scheduled to end August 31, but
the league early fell into difficul-
ties, particularly at Medicine Hat
and Regina. On this account it
was necessary to halve the season.
Saskatoon taking the place of
Medicine Hat in the second half.
The first half ended on July 14,
•with Calga'-y the winner, Edmon-
ton second. Medicine Hat third.
Moose Jaw fourth, Lethbridgo
fifth, Brandon sixth, and Winnipeg
and Regina seventh and last, re-
spectively. The second half started
on July 15, and the season went
along to the end without another
break, except that the league had
to take up the team and franchise
of Regina. Calgary had the lead
nearly all the way in the second
half, but Edmonton apparently
won out by the small majority
of two points. This, however,
is disputed, and the league will
decide the matter at the annual
meeting in January. Winnipeg
came up from seventh in the first
half and landed in third place in
the final. Moose Jaw finished in
fourth position in both seasons,
and Lethbridge finished fifth in
both halves.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Central Association
Quincy won the seventh an-
nual championship race of this
league, being in the lead the
whole season with the excep-
tlod of two weeks in August.
Ottumwa created a surprise by
finishing second, having been
the tail-ender the previous sea-
son. Hannibal dropped from
second place in 1909 to third
place in 1910. Galesburg, tak-
ing the place of Jacksonville,
made good by getting into the
first division, Keokuk and
Monmouth (which took the
place of the Waterloo team)
fought for nearly half the
season for the leadership of
the second division, Keokuk
winning out in the second
week of September. Burling^-
ton occupied the last position
until the latter part of July, 1
but finally captured seventh i
place from Kewanee, driving
the latter into the cellar posi-
tion. Quincy and Burlington
were the surprises of the cam-
paign, as the former finished
sixth in 1909, while the latter
dropped from champions inj
1909 to seventh place in 1910^. I

This association ended its
season early in September, with
Greenville as the pennant win-
ner. This club took the lead
the latter part of May and was
never headed. Charlotte, who
ran second, almost duplicated
the Greenville club's record in
their position, being second
from the end of May until the
season's close, with the excep-
tion of the first week in August,
when they were in third posi-
tion. Anderson and Winston-
Salem had a tussle during the
middle of the season for third
position, Anderson finally win-
ning out in July and Winston-
Salem taking fourth place from
Spartanburg in the last week
of play. Spartanburg finished
fifth. Greensboro, who won
the championship the two pre-
ceding seasons, was hopeltessly
last all season. The season as
a whole was fairly successful.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Illinois-Missouri League
^M
The fact that the Illinois-
issouri League survived the
various vicissitudes of the sea-
son of 1910 is due to the untir-
ing: energy and determination
of President A. E. Blaine, The
league ended its season on Sep-
tember 11, with the Pekin club
as the winner. The Beards-
town club, second in the race
on July 18, disbanded on that
date, and the team and fran-
chise were transferred to Jack-
sonville, which also disbanded
about two weeks later. Macomb
was then dropped, and it was
decided to continue with four
clubs. Pekin took the lead the
first week in June and held it
to the end, Jacksonville being
second at the time it disbanded.
Clinton secured second place
after Jacksonville dropped out.
Canton was a consistent third
throughout the season and fin-
ished in that position, while
Lincoln finished last.

Minnesota-Wisconsin League
The second season of this or-
g-anization, which added Red
Wing and Rochester to its cir-
cuit and started the season
as an eight-club league, was
successful in every way, and
the new league went through
the season without a break of
any kind. The campaign ended
on September 11, with Eau
Claire winning its first cham-
pionship after a strenuous bat-
tle with Winona and Wausau.
Eau Claire took the lead the
second week in June, and,
though hard pressed at times,
maintained it until the end,
Winona taking second place
from Wausau the latter part of
August and finishing in that
position. Superior was a con-
tender from early in the season
up to the second week in Aug-
ust, when they dropped from
second to fifth place and finally
finished fourth. La Crosse
alternated between sixth and
fifth position nearly all season,
and ultimately landed in the
latter place. Red Wing, while
holding down last place the
best part of the season, finally
landed in sixth position. Duluth
was a consistent seventh all
through the season. Rochester
was in first position for three
weeks at the beginning of the
seascn, but finished last.

This compact and well-con-
ducted league finished its sixth
annual campaign on September
7. The Appleton team, under
the management of Edward
Lewee, won the pennant, after
a gruelling battle with Rock-
ford, the issue not being set-
tled until the last week of the
season. Fond du Lac, Madi-
son, Green Bay and Racine had
a four-cornered fight for third
place during the last half of
the campaign, and all finished
as named above. Oshkosh fin-
ished the same as in the pre-
vious season, in seventh place.
Aurora, which took the place
of Freeport, made no better
showing than the latter did in
1909, and also finished last. In
the 1909 campaign Appleton
finished third and Rockford
fifth. Fond du Lac also jumped
upward in this campaign from
sixth place in 1909 to third in
1910. Madison, the 1909 cham-
pions, were in seventh position
at the end of July, but with
good playing the latter part of
the season they managed to
land in fourth place.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Southern Michigan Association
This now well-established or-
ganization ended its champion-
ship season on September 25,
with Kalamazoo and Lansing
tied for first honors. In the
last three weeks of the race
these two teams ran neck and
neck. On the last day of the
campaign Lansing won three
games trom Flint, while on the
same day Kalamazoo lost one
game of a double-header to
Saginaw. This created a tie
for the championship, thus
necessitating a post series,
which was won by Kalamazoo.
Lansing created two records in
Sjthis league in 1910. By win-
ning three games on the last
day of the race they accom-
plished a feat never before re-
corded in the history of this
league, and as they won a
double-header the day previous,
record was established of
winning five games in two days.
Adrian finished third. Battle
Creek, the tail-enders in 1909,
secured fourth place. Flint,
Bay City and Jackson finished
fifth, sixth and seventh, re-
spectively. Saginaw, the 1909
champions, finished last.

Southeastern League
The initial championship cam-
paign of the Southeastern League
came to a close on September 10,
with Knoxville as the pennant
winner. Knoxville took the lead
the last week in July and held it
until the close of the season. Mor-
ristown alternated between second
and third positions throughout the
season, finally securing second
place from Johnson City, who fin-
ished a close third. Asheville beat
out Rome for foiirth position in
the last week of the campaign,
the latter putting up a good fight
before landing in fifth place. Gads-
den fell to last place the second
week in July and remained in that
position throughout the season,
ending very poorly, the difference
in percentage between the tail-
ender and the club next to last
being over 200 points. The season
was fairly successful, both artisti-
cally and financially.
OflBcial batting and fielding averages for the season of 1910 were
compiled.

rfPl'popularly known as the "Mink"
3 i J [League, ended on September 7
with one of the most exciting
finishes any organization could
Ipossibly desire. At the end of
the third week of the season
Clarinda had moved into first
^^ place, and was never headed
fcjuntil the last day of the play-
^^ ing season. By losing a double-
header on that day Clarinda
lost the championship to Falls
City. Shenandoah landed in
third position, after a month
in next to last place. Auburn
had a zig-zag career, being at
one time or another in every
position except first, but at
length secured fourth place.
Maryville landed in last place
the first week in July, and re-
mained there until the last
week of the season, whien they
gained fifth place by a narrow
margin. It was not until the
very last day that Nebraska
City finally landed in the cellar
position. For a first-year
league the season was wonder-
fully successful, both financi-
ally and in the article of ball
that was served to the patrons,
^^ as shown by the record of two
!fcj extra innings contests, one of
' ^^ 17 and the other of 19 innings.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Blue Grass League
Club.
The third annual cham-
pionship race of this league
ended September 18 with a
new pennant winner — the
Paris team — which won out
with comparative ease.
Lexington, which finished
fifth in 1909, captured the
second position. Winches-
ter took third place at the
start of the season and held
it until the middle of July;
then advanced to second
position, and, after drop-
ping to fifth place, finally
landed in third place again.
Richmond alternated be-
tween third and fourth
place and finally landed in
the latter position, Frank-
fort, after starting well,
fell to fifth place. Mays-
ville, which took the place
of Shelbyville, finished last.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Cotton States League
After a year's rest the Cotton
States League once more en-
tered organized base ball in
1910 under the leadership of
Major A. C. Crowder of Jack-
son, Miss., who had previously
had experience as a league
president. Under his admin-
istration the season proved
quite successful. The cam-
paign closed on September 5,
with the Greenwood team, a
new-comer in the league, as
the pennant winner. The race
for the lead between Green-
wood and Jackson was close
and exciting, and was in doubt
until the last day of the season,
when Greenwood won out by
the small percentage of only
six points over Jackson. The
other four teams were com-
pletely distanced, the differ-
ence in percentage between
the second and third teams
being over 200 points. Hatties-
burg secured third place in
July and finished in that posi-
tion. Yazoo City nosed out
Vicksburg for fourth place by
only one point, and Meridian
finished in last place.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Texas League
The Texas League closed its
season on September 5, with
Dallas the pennant-winner,
after a hair-raising finish with
Houston, the 1909 champions.
Dallas secured the champion-
ship by winning a double-
header on the last day of the
season from Forth Worth. On
the same day Houston played
three games with Galveston,
winning two and losing one.
^ajHad Houston won all three
games there would have been a
tie for the championship. San
Antonio, Ft.WorthandShreve-
port had an exciting battle for
third position, the record show-
ing that only twelve points
separated the three teams, and
they finally finished in the
order given. Fort Worth was-
in first position for two weeks
during July and August, but
'could not stand the pace and
eventually dropped to fourth
place. Galveston and Okla-
homa City had it nip and tuck
during the last half of the sea-
son for sixth place, and at the
end were tied for that position.
Waco again finished in last
place, with a lower record than
in the preceding season.

two, the first season ending
June 17, with Victoria in the
lead. Bay City a close second,
with Laredo. Brownsville,
Corpus Christi and Beeville
strung along in the above
order. The second season
began on June 18 and ended
on August 14, with Browns-
ville as the winner, they win-
ning out over Victoria by a
brilliant sprint in the last
three weeks of the season.

running last for over a month
in the second half, beat out
Corpus Christi for fifth posi-
tion. Brownsville and Vic-
toria played a post season

July Aug. Sept
CHILLICOTHE
Portsmouth won the pen-
nant in this league after a
hard struggle, which con-
tinued up to the last week
of the campaign. Lima,
the pennant winner of 1909,
was second. Portsmouth.
Lima and Marion alter-
nated in first place during
the last three weeks of the
season, and finally finished
in the order named. The
remaining teams could not
be classed as contenders
after the first half of the
campaign, though Newark,
which occupied last place
the best part of the season,
managed to nose into fourth
place. Lancaster settled in
fifth place the last week of
play. Chillicothe, which
took the place of Mans-
field, finished last. The 1910
season was more successful
than the preceding one.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Western Association
This organization ended its cham-
pionship campaign on August 16,
3|with Joplin the pennant winner.
The league started with eight
clubs, but on July 23 Tulsa and
Muskogee dropped out, and the
league was reduced to six clubs
which started the season on July
28. The new arrangement lasted
but a short time, as El Reno and
Bartlesville also dropped out, t-hus
reducing the organization to four
clubs, which finished the season
without another break. Joplin
took the lead in the race the very
first week, and, with the exception
of one week, held it until the end.
Enid started off in last position,
but gradually worked up to second
place, taking that position from
Sapulpa in the last week of the
campaign. Sapulpa was the only
other contender during the season,
having a varied career between
second and sixth place throughout
the campaign, and finally dropping
to third place after a hard tussle
with Enid. Guthrie never had a
chance to finish other than in last
position.

SPALDING'S OFFI«IAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Nebraska State League
The first championship cam-
paign! of the Nebraska State
Leagrue was very successful
from every point of view. The
race was close from start to
finish, as will be seen by the
standing: of the clubs at the
close of the season, there being
but 196 points separating the
champion and tail-end teams.
The season ended on September
10, with Fremont as the initial
pennant winner. Starting in
the lead Fremont had clear
sailing throughout the season,
with the exception of a couple
of weeks in June, when they
were in second place. Colum-
bus, who ran second, was at
one time or another in every
position but last, and gradually
worked up from seventh place
in July to second position at
the close. Grand Island, the
real contender for first honors
with Fremont, was never lower
than second place until the last
week of the campaign, when,
by some remarkable playing,
both Columbus and Kearney
nosed them out. Superior and
Seward fought it out for first
place in the second division, and
finished in the order named.
Red Cloud and Hastings were
never higher than fifth posi-
tion at any time during the
season, and finished seventh
and last, respectively.

The second annual championship
campaign of this league ended on
August 28, with Hutchinson an
easy pennant winner. This team
took the lead the latter part of
May and held it without a break
throughout the season. McPherson,
which finished third in 1909, was a
consistent second from the middle
of June until the close of the cam-
paign, with the exception of one
week in July. Lyons, the pennant
winner of the previous campaign,
had to be content with third place.
Great Bend finished the same as in
1909 — in fourth place, th.e team
never getting higher than that
position all season. The four re-
maining teams exchanged places
in the 1910 campaign from the ones
occupied in the previous season,
Newton, which was sixth in 1909,
gained a notch the past season,
and landed in fifth place after
being sixth most of the time. Wel-
lington, fifth in 1909, dropped to
sixth place in the last week of the
campaign. Lamed, the tail-ender
in the previous campaign, man-
aged to get out of last place the
latter part of July and finished the
season in seventh position. Arkan-
sas City reached as high as f oui-th
place in the early part of the sea-
son, but gradually dropped to sev-
enth, and during July landed in
last place, and stayed there.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
New York State League
Billy Clymer's Wilkes- Barre
team were the pennant win-
ners for the second successive
time in this league, which
ended its campaign on Septem-
ber 18, with almost the same
record and percentage as in
the previous year. The race
was one of the best in the his-
tory of this long-established
league. Wilkes-Barre, Elmira
and Albany alternated in the
lead at times, and Scranton
was within one game of first
position twice during the sea-
son, and only Troy and Bing-
ham ton failed to get into the
first division at some stage of
the race. Wilkes-Barre took
the lead in July and won out in
an easy manner. The race for
second place between Syracuse
and Elmira was not settled
until the last day's play, when
Syracuse won out. Monte Cross
brought the 1909 tail-ender,
Scranton, up to fourth place.
Albany and Utica were disap-
pointments, dropping to fifth
and sixth positions, respec-
tively. Troy finished seventh.
Binghamton was never in the
race and finished last, though
they played good ball under
Harry LumJey's management
the latter part of the season.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Kentucky-Indiana-Tennessee League
The Kentucky-
Indiana-Tennessee
League, familiarly
designated as the
"Kitty" League,
was reorganized in
1910 on a four-club
basis, and started
the season on May
29. Later the sea-
son was cut in two,
the first half end-
ing July 23, with
Vincennes in the
lead, Clarksville
second, Paducah
third and Hopkins-
ville in the last position. On July 24 the
second season was started, this time as a
six-club league, Harrisburg, 111., and Mc-
Leansboro, 111., being added, and the cam-
paign went along without a break to the
close of the season on September 20. One
of the added clubs, McLeansboro, led all
the way in the second half and won han-
dily, while the other, Harrisburg, was tied
for second place with Paducah. Hopkins-
ville, after an up and down career, landed in
fourth place, and Vincennes dropped from
first position in the opening half of the
campaign to fifth place in the final half.
Clarksville played poorly in the last half of
the season and finished last.

two seasons, came to a close on October 23, with Richmond the winner of the
second half, the first half having been won by Alameda. Richmond and Ala-
meda played a post season series, best two out of three, Alameda winning
the first two games and the championship. Russell pitched both games for

Charleston 62 53 .539
Point Pleasant 57 51 .527
The initial championship race
of the Virginia Valley League
ended on September 5, with a
remarkably successful season.
The Huntington club was the
first pennant winner. This
club was in every position in
the race at one time or another,
but in the first week in August
they assumed the lead and re-
mained there until the close of
the season. Charleston started
in the lead at the beginniug of
the campaign and held it until
the first week in August, with
the exception of a few days in
June, when Point Pleasant was
the leader, but finally had to
succumb to Huntington. Point
Pleasant was a consistent third.
Ashland-Catlettsburg was in
various positions in the race,
but settled in fourth place
eventually. Parkersburg was
generally fifth, with the excep-
tion of a few weeks early in
the season, when they were
third, while Montgomery had a
clear road to the cellar position
throughout the season, except
one week in May, when they
climbed into the first division.

FROM THE TIME OF THE INCEPTION OF

Attention is called to the thorough and care-
ful condensation which has been made of
base ball history in order that the Record
shall be able to present to its readers in the
smallest space the greatest amount of in-
formation. In the pages which follow, facts
are accurately stated which would require

*Wm Keeler played center field on the Brooklyn team of 1899, and in
this position had a record in fielding of .970 and in batting of .376,
a total of 1.346, which would entitle him to the center field position
on the Grand National " All-America " Team, but as he had a higher
record as right fielder of the Baltimore team in 1896, the center field
was given to Hugh Duffy of Boston with the next highest record of 1.336.
A clerical error was made in the Record Book of 1908, in placing
Hvigh Jennings' name in the sliortstop position on the Grand National
■' All-America " Team, with his splendid record of .943 in fielding and
386 in batting, totaling 1.329, instead of Geo Wright, with his still more
remarkable record of .940 in fielding and .422 in batting, totaling 1.362.

Ugr PtiUadelphla AAorl
The Spalding "Cork Center" has not only im-
proved the ball— it has also improved the game. Base
ball played with the Spalding "Cork Center" Ball is a3
far in advance of the game played with an ordinary'
rubber center ball as the game played with the /
Spalding Official National League Ball of 1909 and
before was in advance of the original game with
the home made ball composed of a slice from a
rubber shoe, some yarn from dad's woolen sock, and
a cover made of leather bought from the village
cobbler and deftly wrapped and sewed on by a
patient mother after her day's work was done.
Base Ball to-day is no haphazard amusement, it
is a scientific pastime, a sport of almost geometric ex-
actitude. It commands the best that is in men of national
prominence, and gives in return the plaudits of
millions who testify by their presence and enthusiasm
to the wonderful hold which this most remarkable game
has upon the feelings of the great American Public.
Anything which result' in making the game more
interesting to the spectators is good for the game itself,
providing it does not interfere with the development of the sport as an athletic pastime.
The Spalding "Cork Center" Ball makes the game faster— we have the testimony of
hundreds of players to this effect— it makes it more accurate and even, the ball holding
its life right through the game — not getting soggy or dead in the last innings— "you can
make a home run in the ninth inning as easily as in the first," as Roger Bresnahan says.
It is well for the youth of America to learn the
lesson that while the cheapest things are very seldom
the best things, the best are always the cheapest
in the end. The price of the genuine Spalding
"Official National Leasne" Ball is $1.25
each— no more and no less.. The market abounds
with so-called "League Balls,"? all listed at $1.25 each,
for the sole purpose of deceiving the purchaser and
enabling the "just as good" dealer to work the dis-
count scheme on the boy who is not posted.
This is the reason why bright boys always insist
upon the Spalding Ball and decline to accept any
substitute. To many parents, a ball is a ball; but to
the American lad who knows, only a Spalding Ball is
the genuine and Official Ball of the game, and substi-
tution of "something equally as good" does not go
with him, for he has learned that to become a good
ball player and get the greatest pleasure out of the
game, he must use the same ball that all the leading
professional players use — and this is the Spalding
"Official National League" Ball.

TO THOSE WHO PLAY BASE BALL
Every modification wc have ever adopted in the construction of our Offi-
cial League Bail has been decided upon after exhaustive experiments,
always with the sole purpose of improving the qualities of the ball. The
last improvement was in the core itself. The result is that the 1911
Spalding Official League Ball is the best type of ball we have ever turned
out. It is more durable, more uniform in resistance, and holds its spher-
ical shape better than any type of base ball made heretofore by anybody.
I consider the 1911 Spalding Official League Ball nearer perfection than
ariy base ball ever made. I personally investigated this improvement
when it was first proposed in 1908. I then had an exhaustive series of
experiments and tests made to determine whether the core could be im-
proved. I was present at these experiments and found that unquestion-
ably the 1911 type of ball was a great improvement from the standpoint
of the ball player as well as the durability of the ball itself. I therefore
authorize the following statement :
THE SPALDING 1911 OFFICIAL LEAGUE BALL
is the best base ball that has
ever been
sold by anybody.

Tj^OR over thirty years we have turned out
special model bats to suit the leading players
of the prominent professional leagues, and our
records will show hundreds of different bats
made in accordance with the ideas of the indi-
vidual player, many of whom have been record-
makers. The models that have been adopted
have been duplicated by us from time to time
as they have required additional bats, and in
hundreds of cases we have been requested to
furnish to other players duplicate bats that have
been made for and used by well-known players.
In order to satisfy the ever-increasing demand
from our customers for bats of the same models
as used by the leading players, we have obtained
permission from many of the leading batters of
the country to include in our line of high grade bats these Geld
Meda,l "Players' Autograph" Bats, bearing their signature.
Space will not permit a description of all the various models,
but the models on this and opposite page have been selected as
examples of what we are producing in this special "Players'
Autograph" Bat Department.

we have had many calls for
l)ats embracinsr modifica-

those popular models. We
have, therefore, made np
six what misrht be called
"combination" models, to
meet this demand, short-
eninsf lenorths, reducing
weisrhts. etc., and we be-
lieve that we have included
in those two lines— the No.
100 "Players' Autosrraph"
models and the No. lOOS
"ALLi-STAR" models—
a total of 18 different
models— an assortment
from which any player may
select the particular model
best suited to him. The
timber for these bats is
white ash, specially se-
lected after being weather
seasoned in open sheds for
three years.

CORRESPONDENCE
If you wish any particular
model bat, address the
Spalding' store nearest to
you (see inside front cover),
and give the length, weight
and full directions of same,
and the matter will be taken
up, with the hope of fur-
nishing our customers with
the exact model and style
and weight of bat they re-
quire. This will come
under our special "Players'
Model" Bat Department.
At least two weeks' time is
required to make bats after
customers' own model.
SPALDING BI.ACK DIAMOND BAT
This bat is of same quality as our Gold Medal "Players' Auto-
graph" and "All-Star" Model Bats, and is furnished in the most
popular models. The special finish which we use on this one
grade is a similar preparation to that which many professional
players rub on their own bats to temper them, and lias a tendency
to darken the color of the wood.

It is only in the Spalding
Basemen's Mitts that
the full advantages of
the special "molded
face" feature can be
seen and appreciated.
The leather in the face
must be most carefully
selected, and only the
very best portions pick-
ed out for the peculiar
stretching- and molding
process. Then the pad-
ding must be shaped
by hand to form the
"pocket" and after that
the other special feat-
ures, only found in our
goods, must be added in
order to make them
worthy to bear the
Spalding Trade-mark.

SPALDING BASE BALL UINFORMS
HARRY DAVIS
Captain Philadelphia Athletlca
World Champions, 1910
For more than thirty years A. G.
Spalding & Bros, have been mak-
ing Base Ball clothing, and in that
time have accumulated a superior
knowledge of the require-
ments of the base ball player,
so that Spalding Uniforms
possess an advantage that
even the wearer himself is
unable to describe. He simply
knows that the uniform fits him
correctly and as an athletic outfit
should, giving him perfect freedom
in all his movements and yet looking
trim and neat; it wears like iron and
can generally be used two seasons.
Complete set of Sample Cards showing
swatches of various colors and qual-
ities of material that we actually J^ur-
nish in our Base Ball Unifortns, will
be mailed on application to any team,
together with m^easurement blank and
full instructions for measuring players
for unifortns.

Why Spalding
Uniforms Are Best
Because they are actually cut from
measurements in the same manner
as high class custom clothing, after
making allowances necessary in an
athletic outfit, and are not cut
after block patterns simply to
lessen manufacturing cost.
Because we make them ourselves in
our own well ventilated and sani-
tary factories, the goods never
leaving our own establishment
from the time it comes in from
the mill in a piece until it goes
out a finished garment ready for
the Base Ball player to put on.

Spalding Policy
A Standard Quality 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 •Quality.
To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide
a profit for the jobber as well as the retail dealer. To meet these condi-
tions 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 at-
tractive 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 mislead-
ing but alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his respons-
ibilities, 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 manufac
turer and the jobber are assured; but as there is no stability maintaine i
in the prices to the consumer, the keen competition amongst the locil
dealers invariably leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which t,ne
profits of the retailer are practically eliminated.
This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. The jobTjer
insists on lower, and still lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his xurn,
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 eleven 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 his supply of Spaldinft
Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer under a restricted 1-etail
price arrangement 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 Quality 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 assui-ed of genuine Official Standard Ath-
letic Goods, and the same fixed prices to everybody.
Second— As manufactuiers, we can proceed with confidence
in purchasing at the proper time, the very best raw ma-
terials 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 Quality.
All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are required to sup-
ply consumers 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 well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are
treated exactly alike, and no special rebates or discriminations are al-
lowed to anyone.
Positively, nobody; not even officers, managers, salesmen or other em-
ployes of A. G. Spalding & Bros., or any of their relatives or personal
friends, can buy Spalding Athletic Goods at a discount from the regular
catalogue prices.
This, briefly, is the "Spalding Policy," which has already been in success-
ful operation for the past eleven 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'*
t thereby conceded to be the Criterion, to which are compared all other
iiL fcs of a similar nature. For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United
5tat.'S is the Standard unit of currency, because it must legally contain a
ipeoirc proportion of pure gold, and the fact of its being Genuine is
rnaranteed by the Government Stamp thereon. As a protection to
he users of this currency against counterfeiting and other tricks, consid-
rable money is expended in maintaining a Secret Service Bureau of
Experts. Under the law, citizen manufacturers must depend to a great
ixtent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices to protect themselves
gainst counterfeit products — without the aid of "Government Detec-
ives''or "Public Opinion" to assist them.
Consequently the "Consumer's Protection" against misrepresenta-
ioi and "inferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity and re-
poi 5ibility of the "Manufacturer."
2 . G. Spalding & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to "Quality,"
3rth Yty-three years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known through-
ut th^ world as a Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as
he U ^ . Currency is in its field.
The necessity of upholding the guarantee of the Spalding Trade-
lark ana maintaining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods,
3, therefore, as obvious as is the necessity of the Government in main-
aining a Standard Currency.
Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting
ther consumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding
is Trade-Mark and all that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users
f our Athletic Goods to assist us in maintaining the Spalding Standard
f Excellence, by insisting that our Tra(|e-Mark be plainly stamped on
11 athletic goods which they buy, because without this precaution our
est efforts towards maintaining Standai'd Quality and preventing fraud-
lent substitution will be ineffectual.
Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation
f being high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized
y makers of "inferior goods,", with whom low prices are the main
onsideration,
A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation
3 uphold and a guarantee to protect, must necessarily have higher
rices than a manufacturer of cheap goods, whose idea of and basis of
claim for Standard Quality depends principally upon the eloquence
f the salesman.
We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable
han poverty in quality— and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.
