THE SPALDING TRADE-MARK. Is THE
FOUNDATION OF~Anticipating the present ten-
dency of the American people
toward a healthful method of living
and enjoyment, Spalding’s Athletic
Library was established in 1892 for
the purpose of encouraging ath-
letics in every form, not only by
publishing the official rules and
records pertaining to the various
pastimes, but also by instructing,
until to-day Spalding’s Athletie
Library is unique in its own par-
ticular field and has been conceded
the greatest educational series on
athletic and physical training sub-
jects 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, Spalding’s Official
Base Ball Guide being the initia}
number, which was followed at intervals with other handbooks on the
sports prominent in the ’70s,

Spalding’s 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 Spalding’s Official
Base Ball Guide and Spalding’s 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 1872-76. His interest does not stop, howevér, 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. Spalding’s able
counsel at hand, goes without saying.

The entire series since the issue of the first number has been under
the direct personal supervision of Mr. James E. Sullivan, President
of the American Sports Publishing Company, and the total series of
consecutive numbers reach an aggregate of considerably over three
hundred, included in which are many “annuals,” that really constitute
the history of their particular sport in America year by year, back copies
of which are even now eagerly sought for, constituting as they do the
really first authentic records of events and official rules that have ever
been consecutively compiled.

When Spalding’s Athletic Library was founded, seventeen years ago,
track and field athletics were practically unknown outside the larger
colleges and a few athletic clubs in the leading cities, which gave occa-
sicnal meets, when an entry list of 250 competitors was 2 subject of com-
ment; golf was known only by a comparatively few persons; lawn tennis

ad some vogue and base ball was practically the only established field

  

A. G. SPALDINGsport, and that in a professional way; basket ball had just been invented;
athletics for the schoolboy—and schoolgirl—were almost unknown, and
an advocate of class contests in athletics in the schools could not geta
hearing. To-day we find the greatest body of athletes in the world is
the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, which has had
an entry list at its annual games of over two thousani, and in whose

“elementary series’”’ in base ball last year 106 schools competed for the _

trophy emblematic of the championship.

While Spalding’s Athletic Library cannot claim that the rapid gro-Vth
of athletics in this country is due to it solely, the fact cannot be denied
that the books have had a great deal to do with its encouragement, © By
printing the official rules and instructions for playing the various games
at a nominal price, within the reach of everyone, with the sole object
that its series might be complete and the one place where a person
could look with absolute certainty for the particular book in which he
might be interested.

In selecting the editors and writers for the various books, the lJead-
ing authority in his particular line has been obtained, with the result
that no collection of books on athletic subjects can compare with
Spalding’s Athletic Library for the prominence of the various authors
and their ability to present their subjects in a thorough and practical
manner.

A short sketch of a few of those who have edited some of the lead-
ing numbers of Spalding’s Athletic Library is given herewith:

WALTER CAMP

For quarter of a century Mr. Walter Camp
of Yale has oceupied a leading position in col-
lege athletics. It is immaterial what organiza-
tion is suggested for college athletics, or for
the betterment of conditions, insofar as college
athletics is concerned, Mr. Camp has always
played an important part in its conferences.
and the great interest in and high plane of
college sport to-day, are undoubtedly due more
to Mr. Camp than to any other individual. Mr.
Camp nas probably written more on college
athletics than any other writer and the leading papers and maga-
zines:of America are always anxious to secure his expert opinion on foot
ball, track and field athletics, base ball and rowing. Mr. Camp has grown
up with Yale athletics and is a part of Yale’s remarkable athletic system,
While he has been designated as the ““Father of Foot Ball,” it is a well
known fact that during his college career Mr. Camp was regarded as one
of the best players that ever represented Yale on the base ball field, so
when we hear of Walter Camp as a foot ball expert we must also remem-
ber his remarkable knowledge of the game of base ball, of which heisa
great admirer. Mr. Camp has edited Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide
since it was first published, and also the Spalding Athletic Library book
on How to Play Foot Ball. There is certainly no man in American college
ite better qualified to write for Spalding’s Athletic Library than Mr.

that congress; he received several awards for
his good work and had many honors conferred
upon him; _he is the author of a great many
books on the subject; it was Dr. Gulick, who,
acting on the suggestion of James E. Sullivan,

27PREFACE

This book is a digest of the Official Rules. The
rules are gathered from all parts of the Official Rule
Book and placed under a few general headings which
are arranged in alphabetical order. Every heading
covers all points which may come under it. To find
a point, one has simply to look at the ‘‘Contents ’’ to
find on what page the heading begins, and then to
glance through the brief under that heading.

It is meant for the use of Officials, to help them to
refresh their memories before a game and to afford
them a quick means of ascertaining a point during a
game. It also gives a ready means of finding a rule
in the Official Rule Book by the references to its
pages in parentheses. ,

It should also be of great help to a player in study-
ing the rules, but it is not meant for use by a novice

at the game.Numerals in parentheses after the letter ““P’’ on
right side of page refer to page of Official Rule Book.

References with headings, such as ‘‘Off-side (2),’’
refer to heading and section in this book.

@e@eedéedard Policy

to a Standard Policy.
it is impossible for a manufacturer to long

 

A Standard Quality must be inseparably linked
Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy,

maintain a Standard Quality.

To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a profit for the jobber as
well as the retail dealer. To meet these conditions of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to
set a proportionately high list price on his goods to the consumer.

To enable the glib salesman, when booking his orders, to figure out attractive profits to both the
jobber and retailer, these high list prices are absolutely essential; but their real purpose will have been
served when the manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured his

order from the retailer.
However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer, who does not, and, in
reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices.

When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading but alluring high list
prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and grapples with the situation as best he
can, by offering “special discounts,”’ which vary with local trade conditions.

Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer and the jobber are
assured; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices to the consumer, the keen competition
amongst the local dealers invariably leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of
the retailer are practically eliminated.

This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. yThe jobber insists on lower, and still
lower, prices. The manufacturer in his turn, meets this demand for the lowering of prices by the
only way open to him, viz.: the cheapening and degrading of the quality of his product.

The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that, ten years ago, in 1899, A. G. Spalding
& Bros. determined to rectify this demoralization in the Athletic Goods Trade, and inaugurated what
has since become known as ‘‘ The Spalding Policy.”’

The ‘‘Spalding Policy’’ eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding Goods are concerned,
and the retail dealer secures his supply of Spalding Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer
under a restricted retail price arrangement by which the retail dealer is assured a fair, legitimate and
certain profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and the consumer is assured a Standard Quality and is
protected from imposition.

The ‘Spalding Policy”’ is decidedly fo
and acts in two ways:

First—The user is assured of genuine Official
the same fixed prices to everybody.

Seconp—As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in purchasing at
the proper time, the very best raw materials required in the manufacture
of our various goods, well ahead of their respective seasons, and this enables
us to provide the necessary quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding
Standard of Quality.

All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Good
regular printed catalogue prices—neither more nor less—
for in our New York, Chicago and other stores.

All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic
special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone.

Positively, nobody; not even officers, managers, salesmen or other employes of A. G. Spalding
& Bros., or any of their relatives or personal friends, can buy Spalding Athletic Goods at a discount
from the regular catalogue prices.

This, briefly, is the ‘‘ Spalding Policy,’’ which has already been in successful operation for the
past ten years, and will be indefinitely continued.

In other words, ‘‘ The Spalding Policy ’’ is a ‘‘ square deal’”’ for everybody.

SL a ALY err yug veersStandard Quality

An article that is universally given the appellation “Standard” is thereby
conceded to be the Criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar nature.
For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit of currency,
because it must legally contain a specific proportion of pure gold, and the fact of its
being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stamp thereon. As a protection to
the users of this currency against counterfeiting and other ‘tricks, considerable money
is expended in maintaining a Secret Sérvice Bureau of Experts. Under the law, citizen
manufacturers must depend to a great extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices
to protect themselves against counterfeit products—without the aid of “Government
Detectives” or ‘‘ Public Opinion” to assist them.

 

Consequently the ‘‘Consumer’s Protection” against misrepresentation and “‘in-
ferior quality” rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the ““Manufacturer."

A. G. Spalding & Bros. have, by their rigorous attention to ‘‘Quality,” for thirty-
three years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout the world as a
Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as the U. S. Currency is in its field.

The necessity of upholding the guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and main-‘
taining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvious as is the
necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency.

Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other con-
sumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade-Mark and all
that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic Goods to assist us in
maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by insisting that our Trade-Mark be
plainly stamped on all athletic goods which they buy, because without this precaution
our best efforts towards maintaining Standard Quality and preventing fraudulent
substitution will be ineffectual.

Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being
high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of ‘inferior
goods,” with whom low prices are the main consideration.

A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold and a
guarantee to protect, must necessarily have higher prices than a manufacturer of cheap
goods, whose idea of and basis for a claim for Standard Quality depends principally
upon the eloquence of the salesman.

We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than poverty
in ity—and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.PALDIN¢ GS
