PUBLISHERS' NOTICE.
The official handbook of America's national game--SPALDING'S BASE BALL
GUIDE--which was first issued in 1876, has grown in size, importance and
popular favor year by year, until it has become the great standard
statistical and reference annual of the game throughout the base ball
world; and it is now recognized as the established base ball manual of
the entire professional fraternity, as well as the authorized _Guide
Book_ of the great National League, which is the controlling
governmental organization of the professional clubs of the United
States.
The _Guide_ of 1895 not only records the doings of the twelve clubs of
the National League for the past season, with all the official
statistics, but it gives space to the championship campaigns of 1894,
not only of the Minor Professional Leagues of the country, but also of
those of the College clubs and of the leading organizations of the
amateur class--the majority class of the entire base ball world--and in
this respect the _Guide_ has no equal, the book of 1895 being
exceptionally full of the most interesting chapters of the leading
events of the diamond fields of the past year, and for the first time
contains many fine half-tone illustrations of all the leading clubs and
players, making it the largest and most complete Guide ever issued.
Copies of the _Guide_ will be mailed to any address upon receipt of
twelve cents each. Trade orders supplied through the News Companies, or
direct from the Publishers,
American Sports Publishing Company,
241 Broadway, New York.
The _Guide_, as hitherto, is issued under the entire editorial control
of the veteran writer on sports, Mr. Henry Chadwick, popularly known as
"The Father of Base Ball."
The great size of the _Guide_ precludes the possibility of including the
game record of the League campaign, as also other records of League
