Spalding's Athletic Library is the leading library series of its kind published in the world; in fact, it has no imitators, let alone equals. It occupies a field that it has created for itself.established in the year 1892, and it conceded by all authorities that Spalding's Athletic Library has been an important factor in the advancement of amateur sport in America. The millions that read the Library during the year will attest to its value. A glance at its index will disclose the remarkable field that it covers. It is immaterial what the pastime may be, you will find in Spalding's Athletic Library a reference to it, either in a book devoted exclusively to that particular game or in some of the books that cover many sports. It has been the aim of the editors to make the books Officialy and they are recognized as such, all the important governing bodies in America granting to theis
The Library was
publishers of Spalding's Athletic Library the exclusive right to publish their official books and official rules. The best authorities in each particular line of sport or physical culture, the men best qualified to write intelligently 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. No matter what new game or form of sport be conceived or advanced, it is invariably the aim of the publishers to have a book on that sport. In that way Spalding's Athletic Library is in the field at the beginning of the sport, follows it year in and year out, and there can be no doubt whatever that the present popularity of athletic sports can attribute the same to the "backing" it has received from Spalding's Athletic ^'^^^"y-
