SpaIding's Guide Tor 1896.

We have just received this Guide from
the American Sports Publishing Company
| of New York and have to state that it sur
passes in every respect every issue of the
National League Guide yet published. In
! the first place it is the largest book of the
kind yet issued, and is more copiously and
handsomely illustrated than ever before.
Besides the new playing rules it is unsur-
passed in its list of base ball statistics. of
records and of most interesting and instruc-
tive chapters on the points of the game in its
respective departments of pitching, batting,
fielding and base running. new feature is
the large amount of space given to the
statistics of the minor leagues of the country
and the valuable college records of the past
year, with those of Yale and Harvard for
twenty years past, are worthy of note The
pitching records are especially complete and
full. In fact the book is the base ball
manual of the year. As book of base
ball reference no club should be without il
either college or professional The editor
has not forgotten his old friend. the late
Harry Wright. nor has he lost sight of the
fact that 1895 was the veteran Nick Young's
twenty-fifth year as secretary of the pro-
fessional association, from 1871 to 1895.
One of its most attractive features is the
forty pages of half-tone illustrations of all
the National League and the leading minor
league and college teams of the country and
also of a number of old-time ball PLAYERS.
