Americans National Game By A. G. SPALDING Price, $2.00 Net A book of 600 pages, profusely illustrated with over 100 full page engravings, and having sixteen forceful cartoons by Homer C. Davenport, the famous American artist The above work should have a place in every public library in this country, as also in the libraries of public schools and private houses. The author of America sN ational Game is conceded, always, everywhere, and by everybody, to have the best equipment of any living writer to treat the subject that forms the text of this remarkable volume, viz., the story of the origin, development and evolution of Base Ball, theN ational Game of our country. Almost from the very inception of the game until the present time as player, manager and magnate Mr. Spalding has been closely identified with its interests. Not infrequently he has been called upon in times of emergency to prevent threatened disaster. But for him theN ational Game would have been syndicated and controlled by elements whose interests were purely selfish and personal. The book is a veritable repository of information concerning players, clubs and personalities connected with the game in its early days, and is written in a most interesting style, interspersed with enlivening anecdotes and accounts of events that have not heretofore been published. The response on the part of the press and the public toM r. Spalding sefforts to perpetuate the early history of theN ational Game has been very encouraging and he is in receipt of hundreds of letters and notices, a few of which are here given. Robert A damson, New York, writing from the office of Mayor Gaynor, says: Seeing the Giants play is my principal recreation and I am interested in reading everything I can find about the game. I especially enjoy what you [M r. Spalding] have written, because you stand as the highest living authority
