Spalding athletic library. Group 14, no. 289

Tumbling for Amateurs

Anticipating the present tendency of the American people toward a healthful method of living and enjoyment, Spaldings Athletic Library was established in 1892 for the purpose of encouraging athletics in every form, not only by publishing the official rules and records pertaining to the various pastimes, but also by instructing, until to-day Spaldings Athletic Library is unique in its own particular field and has been conceded the greatest educational series on athletic and physical training subjects 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, Spaldings Official Base Ball Guide being the initial number, which was followed at intervals with other handbooks on the sports prominent in the 70s. Spaldings 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 Spaldings Official Base Ball Guide and Spaldings 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 187276. 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. Spaldings able counsel at hand, goes without saying. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
