Records, perhaps, that are not known to the generation of today have been given the greatest consideration, and this little volume, the reader must admit, holds every con- ceivable record one would care to know in the well- known sports. It has eliminated the con- sultation of dozens of books, some rather incomplete inso- far as fulfilling the purposes for which they are meant. Every record herein con- tained is authentic and accu- rate, having been obtained from sources which are affiU- ated very closely with that very sport. If the reader obtains as much enjoyment and pleasure from the perusal of Sport-Cyc as the author had in compil- ing same, the purpose of this little volume will not have gone amiss.
