'pHIS business, which you know of so well, to-day—A. G. Spalding & Bros.*, the largest manufacturers and distributors of Athletic Goods in the world— was, thirty years ago, only an idea. At that time, in this country, there was no such thing as an Athletic

Business, or, in fact, even an Athletic Store, as it would be called to-day. No one catered to the requirements of athletes, who, as a class, were not deemed worthy of consideration,

and in no one store could a complete line of Athletic Goods be found. The firm of A. G. Spalding & Bros, was started in March, 1876, with the idea of

catering to Athletes solely, and with the purpose of supplying goods that could compel

attention because of their quality. Base Balls were taken up first, and Base Ball Equip-

ment, Suits, etc. ; nothing being put out unless the quality was positively right. As other

lines were added, this same principle was followed religiously, until to-day the Spalding

line of Athletic Equipment includes practically everything required by an athlete, no matter in what sport he may be interested.

The personal ambition of the founders has been gratified ah-eady in the building up

of this business, which has been successful from the start, first of all because there was a demand for Athletic Goods of reliable quality, and second, because we have been able to

supply this demand. However, the personal ambitions or desires of anyone cannot be

allowed to enter into the decision as to whether Spalding Athletic Goods shall continue to be made as they have been for the past thirty years, and we are gratified that the original

principles underlying this business— reliability and satisfaction to the user— have been so

well drilled into the minds, hearts and hands of each Manager of our Branch Stores, each

Manager of our Factories, and, in fact, each and every one of our employees, that the

Athletes of the United States, of Canada, of England, and of every other country where Athletic Goods are used, may be certain that their wi;/hes and demands will always be considered as paramount, and Spalding Quality will never be deteriorated, even to satisfy the ever increasing demands for cheapness, in the face of a rising market in raw material We shall continue to supply Athletic Goods at fair prices, with satisfaction guaranteed, and we beUeve this determination of ours will be appreciated by all those who consider Quality as of paramount importance.

ATHLETIC SHIRTS Made Expressly for I^S^ Sizes: 32 to 46 inches chest measurement.. A. G. Spalding & Bros. ^ Each, $2.50

An athletic shirt that is from its very nature best suited of any to the needs of those who through violent and continuous exertion perspire freely, and should therefore wear something next to the skin that will absorb moisture rapidly. "Linen Mesh " does this, and at the same time surpasses all other materials in the power of evaporating moisture or drying. We cannot recommend it too highly.

Don't be led into the common error that garments made of this material are designed primarily for people

-who are ill. Instead, they are meant to safeguard all, especially those who confident in their strength and health neglect the ordinary precautions of the prudent.

For use as a gymnasium shirt there is nothing to compare with this, while for general athletic wear its manifold advantages will make it popular with those who desire an article that is superior to anything similar evei- made. SPALDING MEN'S ATHLETIC UNDERWEAR ffn'0?^'^y^ For some time past we have recognized the need of some "kind of athletic wear that would " ? 1 be suitable at the same time for use as underwear, during the heated term especially, but throughout the year if desired, and to be sold at a price to f ^ bring it within reach of the ordinary pocketbook. f~ - ^ The Spalding Cotton Mesh Athletic Underwear we believe'will be recognized as filling this need, and we are certain tiiat the quality

We use a—dogwood insertion in shoulders after proving to our satisfaction by bitter experience that it is far superior to cane or other material for the purpose. The difference between styles A and B is in the additional strings reinforcing the central portion of the latter. Handles 5 and 5 1-4 inches in circumference.

SPALDING CHAMPIONSHIP TENNIS POSTS

This -style post is really the most practicable ever made. •Expert players who have taken part in national and other tournaments will reco^ize in it an old friend, improved in some respects and just as reliable as ever.

The uprights are made of heavy 2 inch japanned iron piping, pointed at lower end so as to go 24 inches into ground and equipped with wheel at top. Ratchet for tightening net is of an improved style, neat in appearance but with a particularly strong leverage. Iron hooks and cleats for fastening ropes.

One of the special features of this style post outside of the ratchet is the method of ensuring absolute rigidity when net is in position. By means of triple elaw clutches made of heavy wrought iron there can be no shifting or shaking once they are placed in position,^nd the tighter the net is drawn the more rigid the posts become.

Tfo. A. Per pair, $20.00

SPALDING CLUB TENNIS POSTS

To ensure absolute rigidity, a prime requisite in a tennis post, it is really necessary that some part of the post itself should go into. the ground. Our experience has taught us the futility of endeavoring to provide fastenings which do not embrace this idea, and we believe that the vast majority of those who have had anything to do with the care of a tennis court will agree with us in this statement. Our Club Tennis Posts are made of best quality 27^ inch square ash, nicely polished and varnished, equipped with japanned braces so as to make posts absolutely rigid, and when set in position the posts extend 24 inches into the ground.

We call particular attention to. the extra heavy brass ratchet with which we equip this style post. It is made after an English design and is the same as supplied by our London House to some of the best clubs in Great Britain.

Attached to the top of the 'pol^ is a piece of cord, at the end of which is fastened a Lawn Tennis ball. The game is to wind the cord, with the ball attached, round the pole and above the black line, which is marked on the pole, and it is usually started by tossing for service. The winner then takes the ball in his hand and with the racket drives it round the pole; the opponent stops the progress of the ball and endeavors to drive it back again and round the pole in the opposite direction. A set is usually the best of eleven games. The service may either be taken alternately or continuously until the server loses a game.

THIS style club is something that should be in the caddy bag of every golfer really interested in playing the best game possible. In construction it is scientifically correct, and the idea is one that needs only to be explained in order to meet with general approval. We rivet a piece of one-sixteenth inch highly tempered steel on a hollow head, and in that way give you. spring and resistance combined at the point where they are required. Golfers of international reputation have endorsed them highly, and they bid fair to revolutionize club making to a great extent. " The set consists of cleek, lofting mashie, mid-iron and putter. Each has points of superiority over the ordinary style, and any claim we may make in regard .to them we are sure will be borne out by your experience after a trial. We know that the cleek, tried fairly, should improve your shots at least fifty yards, and we can make this statement safely because the assertion has been repeated to us so often by those who are using the club now.

There is probably no class of inanufa(5hirecl goods of equal variety that receives harder usage than athletic goods. The golfer throws his whole ^rength into his frail loolung driver, the ball player tries to knock the coyer off the ball, and the footballer—well, words fail to d^cribe what he subjeifts the foot ball to.

Si ALDRED ARCHERY GOODS WHEN we secured the exclusive agency for the sale of the well known line of Archery Goods manufactured by Thos. Aldred, it was our idea that as headquarters for athletic goods of every description in, the United States and Canada archers would find it convenient to purchase their supplies through the various branch stores of A. G. Spalding & Bros. No manufacturer is better known in this line than Thomas Aldred, and his goods will be found eminently satisfactory. Expert archers will be able to select from our stock, Bows, Arrows, and other requisites made under his personal supervision, and possessing all the advantages which an experience of over fifty years enables a manufacturer to add to the ordinary value of a well made article. Archery has fluctuated in popularity during the past thirty years in this country, but during all of that time the sport has held its place high in the estimation of people who have required out-of-door exercise of an invigorating nature, but not too violent. The antiquity of this form of amusement, and the general knowledge of the use of the various implements required, renders a special reference to these matters unnecessary, but a few words -regarding the selection of bows and arrows may not be out of place. Gentlemen's bows should be 6 ft. and ladies' 5 ft. to 5 ft. 6 in. Weightof your bow should be according to "your strength, and particular care should be used in making selection, to avoid picking one with too strong a pull.

Gentlemen's arrows should measure 28 in. ; sometimes longer ones are used. Ladies' arrows 24 and 25 inv Arrows are weighed against new English silver coin. Ladies' weigh from 2 6 to 3 6 and gentlemen's 4/- to 5/-, according to the distance—for instance,at 60 yards a heavier arrow may be used than at a hundred yards. When shooting in company, arrows should be painted or marked differently for each person, so as to be distinguishable.

Spalding Official Push Ball

Recently this game has taken a great stride in the public estimation both in England and the United States, and it is an interesting feature at many athletic contests. Some games have also been played where the players were mounted on horses. Inflated, this ball measures six feet in diameter, and it is so constructed that there is practically no danger of puncturing.

BOXING GLOVES A G Spalding & Bros. Gentlemen: After having

used all kinds ot boxing gloves,

both as zn amateur and profes-

sional, I can truthfully say that in my opinion, the Spalding Championship Boxing Glove

is 'the superior of all others

for three reasons First, it is

well made and lasting. Second, they do not cut or bruise the

skin, and -lastly, they are so padded as \o make injury to the hands almost impossible. Ahorve illustrates the patent palm lacing and patent palm grip referred to in descriptions of Very truly yours, following boxing gloves. With these iniprove- 'ments we believe our line is absolutely the finest on the market. The patent palm lacing, insuring a snug fit at all times, is a very valuablefeature, 'and the patent palm grip, we know, will be 'appreciated by those who want gloves that are JIMMY BRTTT up-to-date in every particular.

I Boxing <^ t) Boxing ( Gloves/ A 'bGLOVES< SPALDING BOXING GLOVES

A. G. Spalding & Bfios. Gentlemen: I have carefully inspected the glove you are manufacturing, called the "Spalding Special" Contest Glove, and after a thorough examination must confess

it is by far the most comfortable glove I have ever had on my hand. It possesses all

the requirements and I am fully satisfied it will gain universal recognition and will be adopted by all the promoters throughout the country. The idea of being made of special kid leather, and also being lined with a special tanned perspiration proof leather, makes it doubly strong, for it can stand any amount of rough usage without becoming unfit for use, as in most instances, after a

glove becomes wet with perspiration, it stretches and gets out of shape and is utterly worthless.

1 gave the glove a thorough trial and am confident you have hit the nail on thfe head, and have no he'sitancy in recommending Spalding's Youths' Boxing the article in question to those who are interested. Gloves are made in exactly the Yours very truly, same manner and of the same' ^^^>^^ material as the full size gloves ^^^.^ of our manufacture and are warranted to give satisfaction.

We except from the provisions of this Guarantee, and will not replace bladders which are punctured within two inches of the stem, or any which showfrom their appearance that they have been subjected to

abuse. , A puncture within two inches of the stem indicates carelessness in lacing, with the probability that some sharp instrument used to lace the hall, or bag, has punctured the bladder; or else the leather flap inside the opetiing has not been drawn over smoothly to protect that part of the bladder adjacent to the stem, before the ball or bag was inflated. A puncture or break which occurs on account of either of these causes we do not hold ourselves responsible for, and bladders so punctured will not be replaced. A. G. SPALDING & BROS.

PATENT PENDING

TpHE solid disk for striking bags will always * hold a high place in the estimation of many

on account of the variety of work it permits. The style which we originally introduced some

years ago is the one which has been imitated most generally, but in all these substitutes the makers, while making them lighter, have uni- formly neglected the most essential point and have produced an article flimsy and unsatisfac- tory to a degree.

A striking bag disk must be substantial if it

is to be of use, and in the various styles, both adjustable and braced, which we list below, this feature has not been neglected, while we have

striven to put out a disk which is suitable for home use and moderate in price.

Vibration and noise are really eliminated in this as far as it is physically possible, and with the Spalding Aerial there is only the sound of the bag as it meets the ring, and -all the vibration is taken up by the supporting ropes. This platform can be approached from any side, something that is not possible with the ordinary style, and when the ropes are secured at end of cross pieces it is as rigid as any of the ordinary gymnasium disks supported by steel guys.

KERNS' ROWING MACHINE

Operated just like rowing a boat

Suitable alike for the Athlete or the ordinary Man or Woman The ideal boat for gymnasium, home and training purposes. Used by the leading athletic clubs, colleges and prominent oarsmen of the world, and pronounced the most perfect rowing machine ever produced. Fitted with the Kerns' Patent Roller Seat and Shoes, the shoes having a three-inch adjustment, to suit either a tall or a chort person. By turning a thumb-nut the belt can be tightened to any -desired degree, and more or less friction thrown into the running parts, imitating the resistance which exists when forcing a row-boat through the w^ater. The "weaker sex can use the machine by simply loosening the thumb-nut which reduces the resistance ; and on the other hand, by reversing the operation the resistance can be so increased that the strongest athlete can have any amount of resistance. The oars are pivoted in such a way that the operator can handle and turn them the same as he would during the return and feathering motion with a boat oar.

INTERCOSTAL PULLEY WEIGHTS

The Intercostal developer is really one of the best possible machines for broadening and squaring the shoulders and deepening the chest. In this exercise the breathing functions are properly employed natur- ally, it being natural to inhale in raising the hands high above the head and to exhale in bringing them down. This makes this machine more effective for the purpose than the ordinary style. No. 80B. Heavy construction, ordinary weights. Each, $20.00 No. 90B. Light construction, ordinary weights.

KERN'S PATENT WAIST REDUCING MACHINE

This machine is adapted for either home or gymnasium use, and can be placed against the wall or any upright support, requiring only ten inches of wall space in width. The resistance can be adjusted to various strengths and made light or heavy to suit the will of the operator. A small clock-face dial registers the number of feet of rope pulled and enables the operator to regulate the amount of work he should do. This is really an all-around exerciser, as by varying the positions every muscle of the body can be worked to good advantage. No. 800. Waist Reducing Machine. Each, SI 2. OO

Durand-steel Locher$ LOCKERS THAT LAST Wooden lockers are objectionable because they attract vermin, retain odors, and can be easily broken into, and are dangerous on account of fire. Lockers made from wire mesh or expanded metal afford little security, as they can be easily entered with wire cutters. Clothes placed in them become

covered with dust ; and the lockers themselves present a poor appearance, resembling animal cages. Durand-St^eel Lod:erS are made of high-grade steel plates, and are finished with gloss-black Furnace baked (400O) Japan, compar- able to that used on hospital ware, which will never flake off nor require refinishing, as do paints and enamels. Durand-SLeel Lockers are usually built with doors perforated full length in panel design, with sides and backs solid. This prevents clothes in one locker from coming in con tact with wet garments in ad- joining lockers, while plenty of ventilation is secured by having the door perforated its en- tii-e length, but if the purchaser prefers we perforate the backs also. T7?e cost of Durand- Steel Lockers is no more than that of first-class wooden lockers, and they last as long as the building, are sanitary, secure, and in addition are fire-proof. 6000 Durand-Steel Lockers are Installed in the Public Gymnasiums of Chicago. Recent orders for Durand-Steel Lockers include Yale University, Alabama Polytechniclnstitute, Johns Hopkins University, University of Illinois, St. Mark's School, Southboro, Mass.; St. Andrew's School, Richmond, Va.; Gonzaga College, Spokane, Wash., and a large num-

ber of the most prominent Y. M. C. A.'s. , The following standard sizes are those most commonly used: 12 X 12 X 36", in double tier. 12 x 12 x 60", in single tier. 15x15x36", 15x15x60". " " ' " 12 X 12 X 42", 12 X 12 X 72", Special sizes made to order. Illustrated Catalogue CHURCHILL & SPALDINC sent on request. 470 Carroll Ave. Chicago, III.

Most lockers are expensive to set up and require a constant outlay for maintenance owing to the use of very thin sheet steel, cheap hinges and locking devices, etc. All parts of Durand-Steel Lockers fit accurately

together and special steel is used which is of sufficient thickness to insure durability. The locking device is simple, very secure, and cannot get out of order. 1
