The best authorities in each particular line of sport or physical culture, the men best qualified to write intelh- gcntly on their respective subjects, are selected to edit the books and, as a result, there is not another series in the world that is as authoritative as Spalding's Athletic Library.

Affidavits as to the genuineness of these records furnished by Dr. A. Tanakadate, Professor of rhysies, Tokyo University, and Arata Hamao, president of the Athletic Association. Electrical timing is briefly as follows: An electric chronograph is run with two break circuit keys in it. one at the starting point and the other at the finish line. The key at the start is attached to the starter's pistol and is operated auto- matically by the blow of the gas at the nozzle of the pistol, so that the nearest "possible instant of the emission of the signal sound is recorded on the chronograph. At the finish line another key is tied to a fine tape across the course and which breaks when the runner strikes it. The Interval between the two breaks is taken as the time in which the run- ner covers the course. The chronograph registers the hundredth of a second. Throwing the discus. Greek style— 11 5ft. 41n.

Nearly all ihe important teams that have won honors in international competitions in recent years have had their uniforms furnished by A. (J. Spalding & Bros. This was noticeable with the last American team which scored such a glorious victory in the Olympic games at Athens in 1906. A sprinter should have two pairs of running shoes, one a very heavy pair for practicing in (the cross-country shoe. No. 14C, makes a very good shoe for this purpose, and can be had with or without spikes on heels), and a light pair for racing. One of the best professional sprinters that ever wore a shoe made it a ixjint to train for all his races in very heavy sprinting shoes. Aside from the benefit that is claimed for practicing in heavy shoes, you always feel as though you have a pair of shoes that will be ready for any race that is scheduled, and bear in mind it does not pay to buy ath- letic implements or tlothing that are cheap. They don't wear and cannot give you the service that you will get from articles that are official and made by a reputable house. Spalding supplies special custom made athletic shoes, made according to your own measurements, at ifl extra over their regular price for stock shoes. For these made-to-order shoes they set aside special lasts, and keep on file your own measurements, so that duplicate pairs of shoes may be ordered at any time after the tirst order is placed, simply by giving your name and address. Write to any Spalding store, a list of which is given on inside front cover of this book, for measurement blank, which gives full directions for taking your own measurements. They also furnish special made-to-order athletic shoes for base ball and foot ball players, the extra charge in each case for this si^ecial service being $1 per "pair over their price for regular stock shoes. It is very important that the lieginner in athletics should know what to wear for the different sports. The cross-country runner requires a shoe with a low. broad heel, and spikes in sole of shoe: he can have spikes in the heel or not, just as it suits him. A pair of Spalding No. 140 shoes, which are made of the finest kangaroo leather, and used by all the promi- nent cross-country runners, cost .$6: when made to order, .$7 per pair. A sprinter will requin^ a pair of sprinting shoes. No. 2-0. that sell for $6, and $7 when made to order. The No. 10. well made, of the finest light- weight calfskin, cost .$.5 per pair, and $6 when made to order. The sweater. No. A. of finest Australian lamb's wool, was made originally by special order for the Yale foot ball team, is now used by all college athletes. Is one of the best in the market, and sells for $6; athletic shirt. No. 600. $1.50; running pants. No. .{. at 75 cents; a supporter is very essential for an athlete, and nearly all the champions use them; No. 5 is the most suitable one. and retails at 75 cents; a pair of corks will cost the athlete 15 cents: pushers for the running shoes, 25 cents. The second quality of the same line of goods can be bought as follows: Sprinting shoes. No. 10. $5 ($6 when made to order); sweater. No. B, $5; shirt. No. 6E. .50 cents; pants. No. 4. 50 cents; supporter. No. 2, 50 cents; corks. No. 1, 15 cents; pushers. No. 5. 25 cents. The pole-vaulter will want the same outfit, with the exception of a pair of jumping shoes. No. 14H. which sell for .$6. and a pair of wrist supporters. No. 200. which can be bought for 40 cents. The best pole on the market for athletic purposes is the 16-foot Spalding pole. This pole is made of hollo>-v spruce, thus being much lighter, and. owing to a special preparation with which it is filled, the strength and stiffness Is greatly increased. It retails for $10; a 14-foot pole, hollow, retails for $9.50. and the solid for $6. Usually the vaulter will wrap the pole to suit his own The high Jumper and the broad jumper will want an outfit as follows: Jumping shoes, No. 14H. $6; sweater. No, A. $6; shirt. No. 600. $1.50: SPALDING S OFFICIAL ATHLETIC ALMANAC 211 pants. No. ;j, 7r. n-iits: suppniier, Xo. 5, 75 cents; corks, No. 1 15 cents; pushers. No. 5, 25 cents. An outtit with several of tlic articles of a cheaper grade than the above costs: Jumpinp shoes. No. 14II, :f(j; sweater, No. B, $5; shirt. No. 6E, 50 cents, iiants. No. 4, '>{) cents; supporter. No. 2, 50 cents; corks. No. 1, 15 cents; pushers. No. 5, 25 cents. The man who throws the weights will recpiire the same wearing apitarel as the polc-vaulter or the run.ier. John Flanagan and James Mitchel, two of the greatest weight throwers in the world, wear what is known as the N Priiireton, the Spalding discus has been recognized as the official discus, and is used exclusively by Martin JSheiidan. the hero of the Olympic games of 1906 at Athens, whose winnings contributed materially to the securing by the American team of the greatest number of points in the athletic events. The price of the discus is $5. For the use of more youthful athletes, however, a discus similar to the official discus is made, with the exception that it is lighter in weight. This Spalding Youths' Discus, as it is called, has been endorsed by the Public Schools Athletic League, and costs $4. For the pole-vaulter, the greatest care is exercised in making Spalding poles, only the most perfect and thoroughly seasoned pieces of spruce being used, making th(>m the only poles that arc really tit and safe for an athlete. The prices are as follows: No. lu4. IG feet hmg, each, $7; No. lO.'J, 14 feet long, $6; No. U>2, lli feet long, ^; No. 101, 10 feet long, $4; No. 100, 8 feet long, ^'S. Spalding hollow spruce p'oles are considerably lighter than the solid pole.>?, and the interior is tilled with a sjiecial preparation which greatly increases the strength and stiffness. The prices are: No. 2i>4, IG feet long, each, $10; No. 2():{, 14 feet long, ^n.-^iO; No. 2 In laying out or rearranging grounds great care should be taken to see that the field sports can go on without interference, and in the manage- sport ment of a large meeting it is very essential that more than one field should go on at more than one time. Therefore it should be arranged to have the running broad jump, running high-jump and the circles for weight- throwing separated. In order to have your plant as perfect as possible necessary, not only to it is necessary to have all the apparatus that is conduct an athletic meet, but to give the different athletes an opportunity the various sports. to practice j. j, ^.r. x. ^ • rr»,« Great care should be taken in the arrangement of the broad jump. The and the toe-board is a verv important article, and is generally overlooked, runwav requires as much attention as the track. At the average athletic grounds the jumping path is usually neglected. A regulation take-off board SPALDING S OFFICIAL ATHLETIC ALMANAC 213 cau be obtained from Spalding for $3, and a toe-board or stop-board for $3.50. For the starter at an athletic meet Spalding has a very satisfactory and correct style of starter's pistol in a 32-caliber pistol, with 2-inch barrel and patent ejecting device, for $U.(Ki. Another necessary article is a whistle for announcing that everything is ready for a start and also for attracting the attention df the othcials. Spalding has two very good styles of whistles, either of which Costs 25 cents each. It is well also to have several meas- uring tapes to measure broad juuii)s, shot puts, hammer and weight throw- ing. There are a great many diCferent styles of measuring tapes made, some plain, others in cases, but tor geneial all-around use, as a really reliable measure, the special tapes which Spalding has made up are beyond any of the others. These steel tapes are furnished on patent electric reel, which allows the entire tape open to dry, and can be reeled and unreeled as easily as tapes in cases. It is especially adapted to lay off courses and long measuremenrs, and accuracy is guaranteed. This style tape is fur- nished in two different lengths. No. IB, 100 feet long, graduated every foot, and each end foot in inches, costs $5 each. No. IIB. 200 feet long, graduated every foot, and each end foot in inches, costs $7.50. The captain of the club should provide himself with several balls of yarn for the finish. Spalding's ilbist rated catalogue of all athletic sports should be in the hands of every athlete. It will be mailed free on request by addressing the nearest Spalding store, a list of which will be found on front luslde cover of this \ k. : : THE SPALDING TRADEMARK PROTECTS PREVENTS THE FRAUDULENT CONSUMER SUBSTITUTION TheNondescrip The Substitute ManufacturerX^ .^ADealer says says to thefy^ *^A to the Con- Dealer f <^ * sumer "Why pay 15 to 20 "We are just out per cent, more for of the Spalding Spalding Trade Marked ^y m article asked for, Athletic Goods, when ^^but h.ere is some- am prepared to furnish thing "Just as good" you 'Just as g-ood' articles' t 25 per cent, less for so much less price ?" price."

It is al- most needless to state that this is not so. What prob- ably gave rise to the rumour is the announcement that Messrs. A. G. Spalding & Bros., 53-55, Fetter Lane, E. C, with much business acumen and enterprise, have engaged the Surrey "idol" as manager of their cricket bat department. Messrs. Spalding will make a special feature of this department, and all the bats in stock will be carefully selected and bear the name of Tom Hay- issue a special catalogue devoted to our We ward.

G. Spalding & Bros, at the World's Fair, demonstrated that the firm is alive to the imperative need of the times. Physical training is being rapidly advanced and in the congested sections of the country it is a growing problem how to pro- vide for the new conditions. This is particularly true in public school work and similar institutions. Real estate in large cities is extremely valuable, and as a consequence, gymnasiums are often reduced in size and wholly inadequate to the growing needs. This means that the apparatus of the past of a fixed or cumbersome character must be superseded by appliances that may be rapidly and conveniently handled in a manner to accommodate the constantly increasing number of boys and girls needing systematic physical development. A. G. Spalding & Bros., who outfitted the complete gymnasium at the World's Fair and received the Grand Prize and Gold Medal in competition for their ex- hibit, are to be congratulated on their enterprise.

In the j-cccnt great World's Championship Games in Chicago between the Chicago Nationals and the Detroit Americans the Spalding Official National League Ball was used. IN addition to the different American adoptions, the Spalding Official National League Ball has beeril fnade official , the ball by the governing Base Ball Associations of Mexico, Cuba, Canada, Australia,, jSouth Africa, Great Britain, Philippine Islands, Japan, and, in fact, wherever Base Ball is played. The Spalding Official National League Ball has received this universal adoption because of its welt established reputation for uniformity and high quality, but the special object of such adoptions, front the players' standpoint, is to secure absolute uniformity in a ball, that will prevent unfair "jockeying" with an unknown ball, and make National and International Base Ball contests possible, and at the same time make the records of players of value, and uniform throughout the world, which can only be secured by standardizing one well known ball. The Spalding Official National League Ball IS used by Yale, Harvard, Princeton and all prominent college teams. The soldiers and sailors in the^ United States Army and Navy use it exclusively. In fact, the Spalding League Ball is in universal use wherever Base Ball is played.
