SPALDING P ric e, $ 2 .0 0 Net A book of 600 pages, profusely illustrated with over 100 full page engravings, and hav­ ing sixteen forceful cartoons by Homer C. Davenport, the famous American artist. No man in America is better equipped to write on all the varied phases of the Na­ tional Game than is A G. Spalding. His observation and experience began when the game was young. He gained fame as a pitcher forty years ago, winning a record as player that has never yet been equalled. He was associated with the management of the pastime through trying years of struggle against prevailing evils. He opposed gamblers; he fought to eradicate drunkenness; he urged and intro­ duced new and higher ideals for the sport; he was quick to see tha( ball playing and the business man. agement of clubs, at the same time and by the same men, were imprac- - _ ticable; he knew that ball players might be quite competent as magnates, but not while playing the game ; he was in the forefront of the fight against syndi­ cating Base Ball and making of a Nation's pastime a sordk' Trust; he was the pioneer to lead competing America Base Ball teams to a foreign land; he took two champit teams to Great Britain in 1874, and two others on a tour the world in 1888-9; he was present at the birth of t National League, and has done as much as any liv American to uphold and prolong the life of this great pion< Base Ball organization. When A G. Spalding talks about America's Nab* Game he speak* by authority of that he does know, beo be has been in the councils of the management whenever there have been times of strenuous endeavor to purge it from abuses and keep it clean for the people of America — young and old «\ In this work Mr. Spalding, after explaining the causes that led him into the undertaking, begins with the inception of the sport; shows how it developed, by natural stages from a boy with a ball to eighteen men, ball, bats and bases; gives credit for the first scientific application of system to the playing of the game to Abner Doubleday, of Coopert- town, N. Y.: treats of the first Base Ball dub; shows how rowdyism terrorized the sport in its early days ; how gam­ bling and drunkenness brought the pastime into disfavor with the masses, and how early organizations were unable to control the evils that insidiously crept in. He then draws a series of very forceful pictures of the struggle to eradicate gambling, drunkenness and kindred evils, and shows how the efforts of string men accomplished the salvation of the great American game and placed it in the position it occu­ pies to-day—the most popular outdoor pastime in the world. Interspersed throughout this interesting book are remin­ iscences of Mr. Spalding's own personal observations and experiences in the game as player, manager and magnate, covering a period of many years. Some of these stories deal with events of great import to Base Ball, and others have to do with personal acts and characteristics of players prominent in the game in earlier days—old time favorites like Harry and George Wright, A. C. Anson, Mike Kelly, Billy Sunday and others. This book should be in the library of every father in the land, for it shows how his boy may be built up physically and morally through a high-class pastime. It should be in the hands of every lad in America, for it demonstrates the possibilities to American youth of rising to heights of eminent material success through a determined adherence to things hat make for the upbuilding of character in organizations as veil as of men.

  • Philly and the US Open Cup Final Posted by Ed Farnsworth on August 13, 2014 at 12:15 Pm
    PHILADELPHIA SOCCER HISTORY / US OPEN CUP Philly and the US Open Cup Final Posted by Ed Farnsworth on August 13, 2014 at 12:15 pm Featured image: The Bethlehem Steel FC victory float after winning their second US Open Cup, then known as the National Challenge Cup, on May 6, 1916. (Photo: University Archives & Special Collections Department, Lovejoy Library, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville) Philadelphia teams, both amateur and professional, have a long history of appearances in the final of America’s oldest soccer competition, winning the US Open Cup ten times. The last Philadelphia team to do so was the Ukrainian Nationals in 1966. At PPL Park on Sept. 16 at 7:30 pm, the Philadelphia Union will look to restart that winning tradition. Before the US Open Cup Before the founding of the US Open Cup in the 1913–1914 season, the claim for a national soccer title was held by the American Cup competition, also known as the American Football Association Cup and the American Federation Cup. First organized by the American Football Association in 1885, the competition primarily featured teams from the early American soccer triangle of Northern New Jersey, Southern New York and lower New England. In 1897, the John A. Manz team became the first Philadelphia club to win the American Cup. Tacony won in 1910 with Philadelphia Hibernian losing in the final the following year. In 1914, Bethlehem Steel FC won the first of its six American Cup titles by beating Tacony, who had also lost to Northern New Jersey’s Paterson True Blues in the final the year before.

  • Base Ball’ in Kalamazoo (Before 1890)
    All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library ‘Base Ball’ in Kalamazoo (Before 1890) “Hip, Hip... Huzzah!” If you’re under the impression that Kalamazoo has only recently become involved in the sport of professional and semi-professional baseball, think again. Our community’s love affair with America’s favorite pastime dates back to the days before the Civil War when the town itself was little more than a frontier village, and the passion of local fans has seldom wavered since. America’s Game The game of Base Ball (then two words) originated in the 1840s, and was (and still is) a uniquely American sport.
