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
A. G. Spalding 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 series 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 was founded, seventeen years ago,
track and field athletics were practically unknown outside the larger
colleges and a few athletic clubs in the leading cities, which gave occa-
sional 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
: ; .

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

tioned as an open athletic meeting shall an athlete's entry be
accepted unless he shall have received a numbered certificate of
registration, stating that he is an amateur and eligible to compete
in amateur sports. The provisions of this paragraph do not apply
to events that are "closed," that is, open only to members of the
club giving the said games.
2. All clubs giving open games or competitions under Ama-
teur Athletic Union rules and sanction must state on their
announcements and entry blanks that no entries to open events
can be accepted except from registered athletes.
3. Each athlete to whom registration is granted shall receive

a card on which shall be plainly written his number and the
date of expiration of his registration.
4. An allied member may provide its own system of regis-
tration, not in conflict with the Constitution, By-Laws and Rules
of the Amateur Athletic Union, as to amateur status, and avail-
able only to those actively affiliated with such allied member, and
may impose such fee for registration as it may see fit.
5. The President of each active member shall be empowered
to appoint athletic commissioners who shall have alloted to them
territory within the territory of said active member and whose
duties shall be such as is defined to them by the President and by
the members of the Registration Committee and who will act as
representatives of the Registration Committee, with power to
grant temporary cards of registration and to grant sanctions and

investigate and try the suspected athlete and report such findings
to the Chairman of the Registration Committee of such Associ-
ation for final action.
6. Every active member of this Union shall elect a Registra-
tion Committee, to which shall be referred all matters within its
territory pertaining to competition of amateur athletes on track
or field and to the registration of athletes.

all applications for registration and shall have the power to
grant or withhold sanction for athletic meetings and to impose
penalties upon promoters of athletic meetings and upon athletes
who compete or exhibit at the same without sanction of the
Committee, and shall have the right of censorship on the charac-
ter of prizes offered at athletic meetings and may withhold or
withdraw the sanction, providing its decision in excluding any
prize is not complied with. All sanctions must be signed by a

such purpose.
8. Such Committee shall have the right in considering and

amateur athlete who
neglects or refuses within thirty days to
answer questions touching his amateur status to the satisfaction

status is questioned, and all charges shall be entered with the
Chairman of the Committee, who shall provide for an investiga-
tion by a member or members of the Committee. Pending
investigation, the athlete against whom
charges are brought may
be suspended. Suspicious circumstances, which are, in the judg-
ment of any member of the Committee, sufficient to make the
status of any athlete a matter of reasonable doubt, shall be the
basis of investigation in the absence of formal charges. The
member or members to whom the investigation is assigned shall
immediately communicate with the party under suspicion, either
in person or by registered letter, lay all charges before him or
set forth the circumstances which lead to a reasonable doubt and
call for an answer to the charges or a satisfactory explanation
of the circumstances which gave rise to the doubt. If the ath-
lete cannot satisfactorily prove his innocence, the Committee
may inflict such punishment as is in their judgment fitting.
11. Any person who shall refuse to testify before any Regis-
tration Committee, or to answer any question which such Com-

competition unless and until the fee is paid.'

mittee to suspend from competition for such a time as it may
deem proper any person guilty of unfair dealing in connection
with athletic competition or for violation of the rules of the
Amateur Athletic Union.

unfair dealing and ungentlemanly conduct.

located. Should the applicant for registration not be a member
of an athletic club, he must procure the endorsement of three
reputable citizens of the locality in which he resides and the
approval of a member of the Registration Committee within
whose jurisdiction he resides.

a registered athlete, it shall be sufficient to mail the same,
addressed to him at the residence given in his application for
registration.

dence and the club he wishes to represent, and he shall not
be allowed to change the club during the term of his regis-
tration in the Amateur Athletic Union, or an allied body, unless

tion Committee of the district in which he resides, or if such club
does not consent, unless he obtains permission from the National
Registration Committee upon showing good cause therefor.

one district to another, he shall notify the Registration Com-
mittee of the district wherein he is registered and surrender his
registration card, and such Registration Committee shall issue a
transfer, showing the date of expiration of his registration, upon
presentation of which transfer a new registration card for the
unexpired period of his original registration shall be issued to
him, free of charge, by the Registration Committee of the dis-
trict of his new residence.

himself.

dence shall be mailed to each member of the Board of Gover-
nors, except the Trial Committee. In case no decision has been
reached by the Board within ninety days after the charge was

as though formal action had been taken to that effect by a vote
of the Board.

to the Board of Governors.

notice to the appellant and respondent, hear argument itself, or
by its committee, upon the question or matter involved, and
may call for other or further evidence or witnesses, but such
evidence or witnesses must be produced within a period to be
fixed by the Board or its committee, which shall not be more
than thirty days from the date of such first hearing.

a committee) shall be filed with the Secretary of the Union

at the first hearing, the appeal shall go against him by default,

THE great
that has developed

interest ir ath-
in the public schools

within recent years has led to
the compilation of this book
with a view to the systemiza-
tion of the various events that form the distinctively
athletic feature of school recreation. With its aid any
teacher should be able to conduct a successful meet, while
the directions given for becoming expert in the various
lines will appeal to the pupil. Some of the leading
athletes have contributed chapters on their specialties:
Ray Ewry, holder of the world's high jump record, tells
how to practice for that event; Harry Hillman, holder of
the hurdle and three-legged records, gives hints on hurdle
racin^f and thre«-legged racing; Martin Sheridan, all-
around champion of America, gives directions for puttinjf
the f^hot; Harry F. Porter, high jump expert, describes
how to become proficient in that event. The book is
illustrated with photos taken especially for it in public
schoolyards. 10 PRICE CENTS

The
Official Ball
In adopting the Spalding
Official National League
Ball for TWENTY YEARS
the Secretary of the National
League, Mr. John A. Heydler
gave the following as the
reason for this action:
"The Spalding Ball was adopted by the

National League for Twenty Years, because
we recognized it as the best ball made. We
have used it satisfactorily for Thirty-four
Years. The new Cork Center Ball, intro-
duced for the first time last year and used
in the World's Series, we believe to be the
only ball for the future, and it is absolutely
the best that has been used by the National
League in its history."

The Spalding "Cork Center" has not only improved the ball— it nas also improved the game. Base ball
played with the Spalding "Cork Center" Ball is as 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 yam
from dad's woolen sock, and a cover made of leather boughj 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
exactitude. 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 results 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

Lockers^
Wooden lockers are objectionable,
because they attract vermin, absorb odors,
can be easily broken into, and are dangerous
on account of fire.
Lockers made from wire mesh or
expanded metal afford little secur-
ity, as they can be easily entered with wire cut-
ters. Clothes placed in them become covered'
with dust, and the lockers themselves present
a poor appearance, resembling animal cages.
Dnrand-Steel Lockers are made of finest some t>t (h^ d,060 Durand-Steel Lockers Inatmied In th*

from coming in contact with wet garments
in adjoining lockers, while plenty of venti-
lation is secured by having the door perfo-
rated its entire length, but, if the purchaser
prefers, we perforate the backs also.
The cost of Durand-Steel Locken

is no more than that of flrst-clasf
wooden lockers, and they last as long
as the building, are sanitary, secure, and,
in addition, are fire-proof. /

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 conditions of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to
set a proportionately high list price on his goods to the consumer.
To enable the glib salesman, when booking his orders, to figure out attractive profits to both the
jobber and retailer, these high list prices are absolutely essential; but their real purpose will have been
served when the manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured his
order from the retailer.
However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer, who does not, and, in
reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices.
When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading 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 varj' with local trade conditions.
Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer and the jobber are
assured: but as there is no stability maintained in the prices to the consumer, the keen competition
amongst the local dealers invariably leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of
the retailer are practically eliminated.
This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. The jobber insists on lower, and still
lower, prices. The manufacturer in his turn, meets this demand for the lowering of prices by the
only way open to him, viz. the cheapening and degrading of the quality of his product.
:
The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that, 12 years ago, in 1899, A. G. Spalding
& Bros, determined to rectif.v this demoralization in the AtWetic 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 Spalding Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer
under a restricted retail price arrangement by which the retail dealer is assured a fair, legitimate and
certain profit on all Spalding ,-\thletic 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:
FiBST— The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods, and
•
the same fixed 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 Quality.
All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are required to supply 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 exa«tly alike, and no
special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone.
Positively, nobody: not even officers, managers, salesmen or other employes 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 successful operation for the
past 12 years, and will be indefinitely continued.
In other words, " The Spalding Policy " is a square deal " for everybody.

standard Quality
An article that is universally given the appellation "Standard** is thereby
conceded to be the Criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar nature.
For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit of currency,
because it must a specific proportion of pure gold, and the fact of its
legally contaui
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— wathout the aid of "Government
Detectives" or "Public Opinion" to assist them.
Consequently the "Consumer's Protection " against misrepresentation and "in-

and responsibility of the "Manufacturer."
ferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity
A. G. Spalding & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to "Quality," for thirty-
three years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout the world as a
Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as the U. S. Currency is in its field.
The necessity of upholding the guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and main-
taining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvious as is the
necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency.
Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself bnt also protecting other con-
sumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade-Mark and all
that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic Goods to assist us in
maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by insisting that our Trade-Mark be
plainly stamped on all athletic goods which they buy, because without this precaution
our best efforts towards maintaining Standard Quality sw»d preventing fraudulent
substitution will be ineffectual
Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer thd reputation of being

high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of "inferior
goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration.
A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold and a

guarantee to protect, must necessarily have higher prices than a manufacturer of cheap
goods, whose idea of and basis for a claim for Standard Quality depends principally
upon the eloquence of the salesman.
We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than poverty
in quality— and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.
