THE FOUNDATION OF THE SPALDING BUSINESS

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.
The Library was established in the year 1892, and it
is conceded by all authorities that Spalding's Athletic
Library has been an important factor in the advance-
ment 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 dis-
close the remarkable field that it covers. It is im-
material 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
Official, and they are recognized as such, all the im-
portant governing bodies in America granting to the
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 intelli-
gently 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 con-
ceived 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 begin-
ning of the sport, follows it year in and year out, and
there can be no doubt whatever that the present pop-
ularity of athletic sports can attribute the same to the
"backing" it has received from Spalding's Athletic

The Growth of American Athletics

By President J. E. Sullivan.
Thepresent healthy condition of track and field athletics is

due solely to the fact that in America those who are following
athletics recognize that in order to succeed there must be organi-
zation, there must be rules, and there must be law and order.
Without a governing body to control a sport, the sport is sure
to die.
The Amateur Athletic Union of the United States is abso-
lutely responsible for the healthy condition of track and field
athletics, and the general interest that is taken in American
sports. Criticism and abuse can never take away from the
present governing body of athletics in America the credit for its-
twenty years of hard, honest work to benefit the athletic clubs
of the community as a whole. It has established laws for the
government of itself, for its associations, for its members, for
the competing athlete, the club and the promoter, and these laws
have been enacted after careful consideration. At times the
enforcement of these laws affects, as termed by some, the un-
fortunate, but as the A.A.U. is voluntarily organized, those that
are not satisfied with the laws and do not like the penalties, are
not compelled to either remain members, if they are clubs, or if
athletes, to continue their registration cards, which entitle them
to compete in this voluntary group.
The Amateur Athletic Union meets annually in November of
each year, and if the laws are bad, they can be changed, but
while the laws are on the books they must be enforced and must
be lived up to.
There is at times a tendency in some quarters to criticise
—
unjustly the Amateur Athletic Union, and on these criticisms
the A.A.U. thrives. Unjust criticisms have never hurt the Ama-
teur Athletic Union. From time to time dissatisfied individuals
have endeavored to create dissensions in the organization, but
have invariably failed, as the great majority of those interested
in athletics realize what the situation would be without a govern-
ing body.
can be safely said that we have had athletic competition in

It
America for over seventy years. The first authentic report that
can be found is one of an amateur athletic meeting held in
Hoboken, N. J., September 4, 1838, and athletic games were held
in the United States and Canada at intervals from that date up
to the late 6o's in fact, the first games of the New York Cale-
;
donians were held in October, 1857, on the St. George Cricket

Grounds, Hoboken, N. J. The Caledonian games began in
Boston in 1853. Many prominent amateurs competed in the
games of the Caledonian Club in Chicago in i860.
In games at this period there was no distinction whatever
—
made between the amateur and the professional they all com-
peted together, except occasionally they barred an out-and-out
professional, one that did not work, but merely competed or
taught, but if a professional athlete was a business man or in.
business he was classed as an amateur.
The first amateur athletic meeting held in the United States by a
properly organized amateur athletic club was given by the H.M.A.
Association of Paterson, N. J., on the race track of the Passaic
County Agricultural Society in the spring of 1866. In the fall of
1866, however, the New York Athletic Club was organized, and
from that date really began the term of organized athletics, because
from the day of its organization, the New York Athletic Club
controlled athletic sport up to the time of the organization of an
amateur association. The New York Athletic Club grew out
of a rainy-day conference between Mr. Wm. B. Curtis, Mr. Harry
Buermeyer and Mr. Babcock, in Mr. Babcock's residence. After
years of competition the above trio had a call issued for the
formation of an athletic club. The first failed, no one paid the
slightest attention to it. The second call was issued three weeks
later, and the third call was made August 27, 1868, and the New
York Athletic Club was firmlv organized, and it is to-day the
largest and most influential athletic club in the world.
The first intercollegiate athletic meeting in America was held

on the morning of the university boat race at Springfield, Mass.,
July, 1873, for the James Gordon Bennett Cup, presented by
Mr. James Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald. The
event was a two-mile run and was won by Duncan Ewen Bowie
of McGill College, Montreal, in 11 minutes and 48 seconds, who
beat Phillips of Cornell and Benton of Amherst.
The second intercollegiate championship meeting was held at
Glen Mitchell, Saratoga, in 1875. Isaac B. Potter of Cornell
won the lOO-yard dash; C. M. Culver of Union won the quarter;
D. Trumbull of Yale won the half-mile; C. H. Barber of Am-
herst v/on the one-mile C. M. Maxwell of Yale won the hurdle,
;
and W. R. Taylor of Yale won the three-mile and seven-mile

walk.
62 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY,
A GLANCE AT THE RECORD BOOKS OF 1875.

A
thorough resume of the athletic activities of the year 1874
will show at a glance by a comparison of that year and 1908
what the Amateur Athletic Union has done for sport in Amer-
ica. At that time there was no organization and no one seemed
to be able to organize an association to govern. The New York
Athletic Club, with two other athletic clubs, the New Jersey
Athletic Association and the Chicago Athletic Club, gave open
and closed athletic games. The New York Athletic Club
gave its spring games on June 27, consisting of five events, and
held seven other meetings for members, averaging one or two
events per meeting. On September 26 the New York Athletic
Club held its open fall games. The 100-yard dash was won by
M. E. Burris, Harry Buermeyer was second, and the time was
ioJ4 seconds, creating a new American amateur running record.
In connection with the events of 1874-5, it would be unfair
to chronicle them without referring to William B. Curtis, who
was popularly known until the day of his death, as the "Father
of Track and Field Athletics." lie was then an active athlete,
and did a great deal to popularize athletics. He was also instru-
mental in organizing the New York Athletic Club and the
Chicago Athletic Association, and a report of the records and
athletic meetings of those early days without the mention of
William B. Curtis and his work, would be hard to find.
The New Jersey Athletic Association held three open and
closed games, one on Decoration Day, with seven events one ;
on July 4, with two open events, and one on October 3, with

five events. Dan Stern, who was the first man in America to
walk a mile in 7 minutes, and now a member of the New York
Athletic Club, won the three-mile walk in 24 minutes and 45
seconds, creating a new American record.
The Chicago Athletic Club held an open meeting on May
29, with events.
five Half a dozen unimportant athletic games
and races took place in this year, the most impor-
match
tant being a match race between James Gordon Bennett, the
present owner of the New York Herald, and John Whipple. They
walked from Thirty-fourth Street and Broadway, the present
site of Flerald Square, to Jerome Park, about 9 miles 1,651 yards,
Mr. Bennett's time being i hour 46 minutes and 55 seconds.
The Inter-Collegiate championships were held at Glen
Mitchell, Saratoga, with five events. E. Copland of Cornell
won the mile run in 4 minutes 58^ seconds. He did not wear
running shoes, nor. in fact, any shoes at all, competing in his
stocking feet.
The loo-vard dash was won bv A. B. Nevin of Yale in 10^
seconds, and Isaac B. Potter, once president of the League of

American Wheelmen and now a prominent lawyer of New York,
was second. The seven-mile walk was won by J. E. Eustis,
former Park Commissioner of the Bronx and at present a
member of the Public Utilities Commission of New York.
Columbia College held games at the St. George Cricket
Grounds, Hoboken, N. J., on May 24, on a turf track. There
were nine events contested. G. B. Cornell and R. C. Cornell,
now a Magistrate in New York City, were the star performers.
Princeton College had a remarkable athletic gathering that
year. On June 20 they held fifteen events. Burr won the stand-
ing broad jump, clearing 9 feet 10^ inches. Biddle won the
shot put, throwing the missile 33 feet 3^ inches. Walker won
the broad jump with 18 feet io-}4 inches. Cheeseman threw the
ii-pound hammer 106 feet i inch, and Sheldon won the pole
vault with 7 feet 7 inches.
Williams College held a meeting of twelve events at Blacking-
ton's one-half-mile track.
Harvard held two meetings that A-ear, the first on June 18, but
no accurate returns were kept of the contestants or performers,
and the report then states that the following was the first meet-
ing of the lately organized Athletic Association, which was held
on October 24, in which nine events were contested. S. D.
Kettredge won the 100-yard dash in 11^ seconds. H. Danforth
won the high jump, with 4 feet SV2 inches. C. S. Bird won the
mile in 5 minutes 41 )4 seconds. The two-mile race was won by
A. L. Lowell in 12 minutes 4^ seconds.
Yale held a meeting at the Hamilton Driving Park, a half-
mile track, on October 31, and had ten events. C. Maxwell won
the 120-yard high hurdle in 20 seconds. H. W. Bowen won the
one-half-mile run in 2 minutes 17^4 seconds. Yale, in 1874,
seemed to have quite a number of sprinters, for they had three
heats in the lOO-yard dash, F. W. Davis winning the final heat
in 11^ seconds. C. Maxwell won the high jump with 4 feet
7 inches, the hop-step-and-jump with 41 feet 3 inches. The
440-yard run was won by S. R. BeUs in 57 seconds.
Amherst -held a meeting on No\ ^mber 7, at Hamshire Park,
ten events comprised the programme.
Holy Cross held an athletic meeting c:n November 3, of which
J. C. Austin was the star. He won the lOO-yard hurdle, the
300-yard run and the 1,200-yard walk, the running broad jump
and the running high jump; and was second to F. Scully in the
standing high jump, second to J. Lynch in the lOO-yard dash.
He seems to have been the bright particular all-around athletic
of 1874.
The year1874 in amateur athletics, therefore, shows that three
athletic clubs and eight colleges held meelings. The meeting of
September 11 at Ithaca might be considered a college meeting,
as several athletes from Cornell took part in the games.
The main reason for taking the year 1874, and bearing down on
athletic activities, is due to the fact that it was in that year
that the compilation of our American athletic records began.
Up to that time no one seems to have paid any attention to the
compilation of records. James Watson, who was then the leading
athletic authority of the country, was then the only compiler
of amateur athletic records, and he began in that year, since
which time dates our official athletic records. Of course, we
had records before that, but Mr. Watson is the original pub-
lisher of athletic records, and his record book of that year con-
tains two record tables, one for running and jumping, and the
other for walking, running and jumping as follows:
Running and Jumping.

Event. Name. Time or Distance.
100 yards dash M. E. Burris 10 1-4 seconds.
440 yards run M. E. Burris 54 1-5 seconds.
880 yards run G. I. Brown 2 m. 07 1-2 s.
1 mile run W. L, Allen 4 m. 52 s.
Running high jump A. C. Rosseau 5 ft. 6 in.
Walking.
1 mile walk D. M. Stern 7 minutes.
2 mile walk D. M. Stern 16 min. 12 sec.
3 mile walk D. M. Stern 24 min. 45 sec.
With this object in view it was decided to hold the first

national outdoor track and field championships in Detroit, which
did more for athletics up to that period than any previous event.
The first track and field championship meeting of the Amateur
Athletic Union of the United States was held in Detroit in
— —
1888 as stated above and has been held each year since then
in the following places: Travers Island (New York), 1889;
Washington, 1890; St. Louis, 1891 Manhattan Field (New
;
York), 1892: World's Fair (Chicago). 1893: New York, 1894,

1895, 1896, 1897; Chicago, 1898; Boston, 1899; Manhattan Field
(New York), 1900; Pan-American Exposition (Buffalo), 1901 ;
New York, 1902; Milwaukee, 1903; World's Fair (St. Louis),

1904; Travers Island (New York), 1905; Lewis and Clark Cen-
tennial (Portland, Ore.), 1906; Jamestown Exposition (James-
town, Va.), 1907.
The first championship meeting of which there is a record
seems to have been overlooked by early compilers of athletic
records. It was held under the auspices of the New Jersey
Athletic Association at Ridgevvood, N. J., on July

4, 1875, and
as such it must be added to our records.
Mr. T. W. White, of the New Jersey A.C., issued a circular

announcing that the medals for the championship meeting would
carry with them the amateur championship of America and
the events would be a lOO-yard run and a one-mile walk.
The mile event was contested' in two heats and Daniel Stern
of the New York Athletic Club won both. The 100-yard run
was won by W. B. Curtis, also of the New York Athletic Club,
in two heats. These races were certainly meant to be recog-
nized as the official championship meeting of 1875 and as such
should be added to our records.
of the A.A.U. of the United States, and its

The formation
public that it would control amateur sport in
proclamation
America led to a bitter warfare with the old N.A.A.A.A., and
an announcement having been made that the N.A.A.A.A._ would
hold a western championship meeting to offset the championship
of the A.A.U., which was held in Detroit, led to the passage of
the following resolution by the A.A.U. on August 25, 1888:
That any amateur athlete competing
Rcsolz'cd,
in any open athletic games in the United States
under the rules approved of by the National
Association, will be debarred from competing in
any games held under the rules of the A.A.U.
The resolution took effect immediately. That resolution is the
very same as the A.A.U. law to-day, with the exception that
the phraseology is different. Application had to be made to hold
pthletic games then, and application has to be made now to
hold games. That was the resolution that caused the athletic
war, and after the N.A.A.A.A championship meeting at New
York, all who competed were barred from competition under
A.A.U. auspices, and as a result opposition meetings were held
at frequent intervals.
Those who were members of the Manhattan A.C. of
athletes
New York— the strongest club in the N.A.A.A.A. did not dis-—
qualify themselves until after the Detroit meeting, and competed
in the latter events, but after the Detroit meeting the champion-
ship meeting of 1888 was announced by the N.A.A.A.A., and as
it was held without the sanction of the A.A.U., all athletes who
competed were disqualified from competing in any meeting under

the sanction of the A.A.U., and then for nearly a year the bitter-
est kind of an athletic w?,rfare existed all over the country.
6S SrALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRA Ux.
Recognizing llic injnry that was being done tf) athletic sport
by the continuation of the war, Mr. A. G. Mills, of the New
York Athletic Club, and Mr. A. C. Stevens, of the New Jersey
Athletic Club, who were two of the most able men on the
A.A.U. Board, presented to President Harry McMillan a plan
to end the war, and he appomted a committee to confer with
a like committee from the National A.A.A.A., and to Mr. Mills
and Mr. Stevens the credit must be given for the termination
of hostilities and making the Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States a much stronger body. The National A. A. A. A.
agreed to relinquish control and go out of existence and bring
its clubs into the A.A.U., which they did, giving the A.A.U.
control of all amateur sports in the United States.
The Amateur Athletic Union, as it was organized intiS88, was

a union of clubs, with a Board of Governors of tv/elve, but the
organization and expansion of sport in the United States under
its auspices met with such spontaneous approval that clubs
sprang up all over, and it became at once apparent that the
mechanism of government was becoming too unwieldy. The
system of scheduling games led to much confusion, and the
A.A.U. was often called upon to adjust differences as far west
as the Pacific coast and as far south as New Orleans, until the
activities in the late '80s became so great that the older heads
in the Union realized that something must be done if the
organization was to remain intact and still have control. In
1889, Mr. A. G. Mills, a member of the Board of Governors,
worked out what was then termed, and has been known ever
since as the "Mills re-organization plan." Mr. Mills, the far-
seeing man that he was at that time and is to-day, suggested that
each section of the countr^^, as it was growing rapidly and devel-
t)ping, should have home rule, and instead of the Union being an
assocation of clubs should be a union of associations, active
and allied, and his plan, after mature deliberation and consulta-
tion with the leaders in athletics in the East, West, North and
South, was presented to the officials of the Amateur Athletic
Union at a meeting held in the Columbia Athletic Club Mouse
in the City of Washington, in 1890, and wîs adopted unani-
mously. In the spring of 1891 the associations thus formed,
designated as the ]\Ietropolitan Association, New England Asso-
ciation, Atlantic Association, Central Association, ajid Pacific
Coast Association, held conventions, elected their officers and
their four delegates to the A.A.U., two of the latter from each
association forming the Board of Governors. The wisdom of
: :
the "Alills Plan" was immediatel}^ apparent, as from it started

what has proved to be the most remarkable growth of athletics
that has even been known in any country in the world. A
liberal
estimate of the number of competing athletes in the year 1888
in the United States would be about 3,000; to-day statistics show
that there are nearly 2,000,000.
Since the adoption of the IMills' reorganization plan of the

Amateur Athletic Union other active associations have been
created, the Board of Governors resolving and believing that
the formation of these associations would better conditions locally.
The new associations, in their order of admittance, were as
follows
Southern Association, Western Association, Pacific Northwest
Association, South Atlantic Association, Middle Atlantic Asso-
ciation and Rocky Mountain Association.
The office of President has been filled by the follovnng men
Harry McMillan, Philadelphia, elected 1888; re-elected 1889;
re-elected, 1890; Howard Perr3% Washington, elected 1891 ;re-
elected 1892; re-elected 1893; William B. Curtis, elected 1894;

Joseph B.
Maccabe, Boston, elected 1904; re-elected 1905; J. E. Sullivan,
New York, elected 1906; re-elected 1907.
The A.A.U. has had three secretaries since its organization.
Otto Ruhl, elected January i, 1888, re-elected in 1889, succeeded
in 1889 by James E. Sullivan, who served until November, 1906,
when he was elected president and was succeeded by Major John
J. Dixon.
President Sullivan is the only member of the present Board of
Governors of the A.A.U. who was on the Board at its organiza-
tion (representing the Pastime A.C. of New York, of which he
is still a member), and has been continuously elected from an
active association as one of its delegates from that time to this.

The only other member of the present Board of Governors who
has been with the A.A.U. since its organization is ex-President
Harry McMillan, who now serves on the Board, not as a dele-
gate "from an active association, but ex-officio, as an ex-president.
The third oldest member of the Board is ]\Ir. A. G. Mills, who
became a governor in 1889.
Recognizing the strength of the A.A.U. and the good that
would accrue from organized athletics, the various bodies gov-
6g SrALl)IN(J".S ATHLETIC LIBRARY.
erning sport in iheir own spheres quickly formed alliances with

the national body. One of the first to become allied with the
A.A.U. was the National Gymnastic Union, the National Cycling
Association (which succeeded the League of American Wheelmen)
the Tnter-Collcgiate A. A. A. A., the governing body of colleges,
which has been for years the strongest supporter of the A.A.U.,
the Athletic League of Young Men's Christian Associations of
North America, International Skating Union, succeeding the old
National Skating Association, the Military Athletic League, the
Amateur Athletic Federation of Canada, Athletic League of the
Catholic Young Men's National Union, Amateur Fencers' League
of America, Federation of Motor Cyclists, and the Union des
Societes Francaises de Sports Athletiques.
There was one allied member that the Amateur Athletic Union
had in years gone by, the National Intcrscholastic Athletic Asso-
ciation of America, which should never have been allowed to go
out of existence. It was too bad that the Amateur Athletic
Union of the United States did not take the association over and
appoint a special committee of collegians and scholastic gradu-
ates on control. Let us hope that the A.A.U. will in the near
future ask the co-operation of all intcrscholastic associations and
schools and colleges toward the organization of a National Inter-
scholastic Association.
The success of the Amateur Athletic Union has not been
achieved without hard work. It has had many hard knocks and
will get more, because in this country there is always an element
that really do not want to be controlled, for obvious reasons,
and that element must be fought, and will be fought, long after
the present officers have retired.
For years the A.A.U. was without money. In 1889 the A.A.U.
became bankrupt and remained so for a long time. The officers
realized that in order to continue and be respected, it must
be strong financially, and to-day it is one of the strongest
athletic associations, financially, in the world, having a large
surplus in the treasury, a surplus that is put there for any
emergency that may come up for the betterment of sport.
The Amateur Athletic Union of the United States has been

built on sound, solid grounds, and nothing but an earthquake,
atletically speaking, can destroy it. Its officers may go and its
Board of Governors may go, but new blood will come in from
time to time, and if they follow closely the lines laid down at
its organization, must succeed, because in the present state of
athletic competition, it is recognized by every American sports-
man that to have competition fair there must be a governing

organization that will have the necessary nerve and backbone to
enforce the laws when they are established.
Some people criticise the A.A.U., because it insists on its laws
being observed. In fact, some believe there should be no rules,
that amateurs should compete with or against professionals at
will, and that there should be no such a thing as obtaining a
sanction for a meeting. Any old-time athlete could interest the
present day reader if he would tell him of the chaotic condition
of affairs prior to the organization of the Amateur Athletic
Union— practically a state of affairs bordering upon athletic
anarchy. Crack athletes from New York competed under
assumed names for money prizes professionals were brought
;
from different sections of the country and_ competed one day for
prizes, and the next for money. Poor prizes were given; often
the athlete that won a prize was lucky if he ever got it. Money
orders were given as prizes, returnable or marketable at certain
stores, and it is a well known fact that the athlete would buy
a necktie for twenty-five cents, and get the remainder in cash.
The Amateur Athletic Union of the United States has made
athletics respectable, by a uniform system of registration and
control, and a young man to-day can compete without danger
of being unjustly criticised. To-day there is a governing body
and it tries to see that each athlete receives a square deal— one?
he docs.
The main trouble to-day is due to many people who believe
that amateurs should get all they possibly can, by fair means or
foul. Many people believe that the professional should be
allowed to compete with the amateur. They seem to forget that
there is a line drawn between the professional and the amateur.
The A.A.U. has no quarrel with the honest professional. Tt
believes there must be professionalism in sport. The A.A.U.,
through its officials, is only antagonistic to the alleged amateur,
who masquerades as an amateur but is in reality a professional,
and who has not the manhood to take his proper place in sport.
The friends of the A.A.U. can truthfully say that the Amateur
Athletic Union has made sport in America what it is to-day
and given it a firm standing. It has made other organizations
possible. It is doing its level best to keep apart in competition
the amateur and the professional. It is at all times willing to
protect the amateur, and it is without question the best governing
athletic organization in the world.
The organization of the New York Athletic Club really marks
the beginning of organized athletics in America. The club
held the first American track and field championships in 1876,
arbitrarily took control of the government of athletics :.nJ

made the athletic laws, which were modeled a great deal after
the laws common at that time in Great Britain. Its work of
popularizing athletics was confined principally to the city of New
\'ork. After years of hard, np-hill work, track and field athletics
began to assume national importance and other clubs sprang up
in New Jersey, Chicago and Boston, and at times competition
between athletes from these sections took place. The lack of
strong organization then became manifest, for it was almost im-
possible for an athlete to know wnth whom he was competing.
When local athletic contests were held the competitors knew
each other, but the games were few and far betwêen and ama-
teurs competed with professionals. In the years i877-'78-'79 a
number of athletic clubs were organized in the United States,
several of them in the vicinity of New York City, and a strong
rivalrv existed.
In 1879 the New York Athletic Club decided to give up the

management of the track and field championships, and agreed
to the formation of the National Association of Amateur Ath-
letes of America, which then became the governing body.
The personnel of this National Association consisted of four-
teen clubs in 1880, twelve of them being located in and about
New York Cit}', one in San Francisco, Cal., and one in Boston
That will give one at a glance the national make-up of this gov-
erning body.
The National Association had as its officers and members of
its board men that stood high in the city of New York and wh.o
(fid a great deal for athletic sport in and about New York City,
but thev cared very little for the development of athletics
throughout the United States. I^hey did not look ahead, and
rwit.g to their peculiar tempcramen.ts, were not the men to grasp
the situation of popularizing athletics nationally.
1"he following men held office in 1887:
President, Walton Storm, Manhattan A.C.
Vice-president, James E. Sullivan, Pastime A.C.
Secretary, Charles Mapes. Tnter-Collegiate A.A.A.
Treasurer, William Rowland, Staten Island A.C.
1"he formation of a national governing body that would con-
trol all sports, make stringent laws, and assist the development
of sport throughout the United States was really commenced in
the year 1885. The New York Athletic Club was dissatisfied
at that time with the then governing body, and resigned from it.
Aluch dissatisfaction existed, and on September 14, 1887, the
: ;;
New York Athletic Club issued a circular calling a meeting for

October i, The circular stated that the meeting was' called
1887.
at the instigation of the Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy,
and stating that dissatisfaction having been expressed at the
way affairs were handled by the National Association of Amateur
Athletes of America, and its popularizing of athletics in the
city of New York only.
Letters and telegrams in sympathy with the movement were
received from the Chicago Athletic Association, Chicago, 111.;
Chester City Athletic Club, Chester, Pa. Pullman Athletic Club,
;
Pullman, 111., and the Fencing and Sparring Club of Philadel-

phia, Pa.
At this meeting of October i, 1887, a committee was named
to draw up a constitution and by-laws, which were adopted at
the meeting held in New York on January i, 1888, the following
clubs becoming charter members of the Amateur Athletic Union
of the United States.
Athletic Club of the Schuvlkill Navy, Philadelphia, Pa.
New York Athletic Club, New York City.
Detroit Athletic Club, Detroit, Mich.
Chicago Amateur Athletic Association, Chicago, 111.

Within two months the Amateur Athletic Union had a mem-

bership of a couple dozen clubs and gave its first boxing, wres-
tling and fencing chamijionships in New York on April 6, 1888
its gymnastic championships at New York on April 28. 1888,
and its first outdoor track and iiekl championships in Detroit on
September 18, 1888.
The new athletic body, in line with their often-
officers of the
expressed views, immediately commenced an active campaign to
preach clean sport, organization, and the benefits to be derived
from athletics, and with remarkable foresightedness inaugurated
a campaign for public playgrounds and athletic tracks for cities,
which is only now bearing fruit. They were nearly twenty years
ahead of the times.
As ninety per cent, of the athletic meetings of the country at
this time were held in and around New York City, the A.A.U.
officials saw that to stimulate a national interest in athletics it
would be necessary to arouse the other portions of the country
to a realization of the benefits that would be derived from a
regularly conducted method of holding athletic contests.

in person or by registered letter, lay all charges before him or

At the annual meeting of the A.A.TT., held Nov. 19, 1902, in New
York City, the following was offered for guidance in the pole vault
and high' jump events:
"That the rules of competition require the Field Judges to make
accurate measurements. The Committee have discussed the question
of giving the right to move the apparatus in the high jump and in
the pole vault, and we would like to call the attention of all those
who are interested in athletics to the fact that if the apparatus is
moved, the Field Judges should make a re-measurement, because if
there is any inequality in the ground at all. changing the apparatus
may make a difference varying from one inch to a quarter of an
inch, and the competitor should not he allowed to have the apparatus
moved and thereby get an advantage in that way."

compete with teams of outside organizations when such latter
teams are duly registered.
Unless the team representing the educational institution is

WHAT AN ATHLETE NEEDS.
A. G. Spalding & Bros, for over thirty yoars liave been maliers of athletic
apparel, and make the most suitable goods for athletic contests. And so
well is this fact recognized by the champion athletes that few of them wear
anything but Spalding uniforms. Nearly all the important teams that have
won honors in international competitions in recent years have had their
uniforms furnished by A. G. Spalding & Bros. This was noticeable with
the last American team which scored such a glorious victory in the Olympic
games at Athens in 1906.
A sprinter should have two pairs of running shoes, one a very heavy pair
for practicing in (the cross-country shoe. No. 14C, makes a very good shoe
for this purpose, and can be had with or without spikes on heels), and a
light pair for racing. One of the best professional sprinters that ever wore
a shoe made it a point to train for all his races in very heavy sprinting
shoes. Aside from the benefit that is claimed for practicing in heavy shoes,
you always feel as though you have a pair of shoes that will be ready for
any race that is scheduled, and bear in mind it does not pay to buy ath-
letic implements or clothing that are cheap. They don't wear and cannot
give you the service that you will get from articles that are official and
made by a reputable house.
Spalding supplies special custom made athletic shoes, made according to
your own measurements, at $1 extra over theLi- regular price for stock shoes.
For these made-to-order shoes they set aside special lasts, and keep on file
your own measurements, so that duplicate pairs of shoes may be ordered
at any time after the first order is placed, simply by giving your name
and address. Write to any Spalding store, a list of which is given on
inside front cover of this book, for measurement blank, which gives full
directions for taking your own measurements.
They also furnish special made-to-order athletic shoes for base ball and
foot ball players, the extra charge in each case for this special service
being $1 per pair over their price for regular stock shoes.
It is verv important that the beginner in athletics should know what to
wear for the different sports. The cross-country runner requires a shoe
with a low, broad heel, and spikes in sole of shoe; he can have spikes in
the heel or not, just as it suits him. A pair of Spalding No. 14C shoes,
which are made of the finest kangaroo leather, and used by all the promi-
nent cross-country runners, cost $6: when made to order, $7 per pair. A
sprinter will require a pair of sprinting shoes. No. 2-0, that sell for $6,
and $7 when made to order. The No. 10. well made, of the finest light-
weight calfskin, cost $5 per pair, and $6 when made to order. The sweater.
No. A, of finest Australian lamb's wool, was made originally by special
order for the Yale foot ball team, is now used by all college athletes, is
one of the best in the market, and sells for $6; athletic shirt. No. 600,
$1.50; running pants. No. 3, at 75 cents; a supporter is very essential for
an athlete, and nearly all the champions use them; No. 5 is the most
suitable one, and retails at 75 cents; a pair of corks will cost the athlete
15 cents; pushers for the running shoes, 25 cents.
The second quality of the same line of goods can be bought as follows:
Sprinting shoes. No. 10, $5 (.$6 when made to order); sweater, No. B, $5;
shirt. No. 6E, 50 cents; pants, No. 4. 50 cents; supporter. No. 2, 50 cents;
corks. No. 1. 15 cents; pushers. No. 5. 25 cents.
The pole-vaulter will want the same outfit, with the exception of a
pair of jumping shoes. No. 14H, which sell for .$6, and a pair of wrist
supporters. No. 200, which can be bought for 40 cents. The best pole on
the market for athletic purposes is the 16-foot Spalding pole. This pole is
made of hollow spruce, thus being much lighter, and, owing to a special
preparation with which it is filled, the strength and stiffness is greatly
increased It retails for .$10; a 14-foot pole, hollow, retails for $9.50, and
the solid for $6. Usually the vaulter will wrap the pole to suit his own
The high lumper and the broad .jumper will want an outfit as follows:
Jumping shoes. No. 14H, $6; sweater. No. A, .$6; shirt. No. 600, $1.50;
pauts, N(K ;j, 75 cents; supixjiter, No. r», 75 (-(Mits; corks, No. 1 ]."l ci-nls;
pushers. No. 5, 25 cents.
An outfit with several of tin- iiitieles of a (•heai)er ^'lade than the above
costs: Jumpinj; shoes. No. 1411, $(>; sweater, No. 13, ,$5; shirt. No. OK, 50
C(Uits; pants. No. 4, 50 cents; supporter, No. 2, 50 cents; corks, No. 1, 15
cents; pushers, No. 5, 25 cents.
The man wlio throws the weights will require the same wearing apparel
as the pole-vanlter or the run.ier. John Flanagan and James Mltchel. two
of the greatest weight throwers in the world, wear what is known as the
No. 1411 shoe, with a short spike, which sells for .$G, and .$7 when made
to order. It is very essential that the weight-thrower should have his own
implements; in fact, nearly all the champion weight-throwers carry their
own weights with them and guard them jealously,
iSpalding athletic implements are made in exact accordance with the
rules of the Amateur Athletic Union, and have been recognized as official,
and no athlete who tries for a record would think of using any other make,
as he knows that Spalding's are invariably correct, and he can compete
with the assurance that if he wins there will be no question of the Illegality
of the record, as sometimes hapiiens when athletes use implements that do
not comply with the otticial requirements.
For the hammer-thrower, the best hammer is the Spalding Championship
Hammer, with hall-bearing swivel. This hammer was designed by ex-Champion
John Flanagan. The benefits of the ball-bearing construction will be appre-
ciated by all hammer-throwers. It is guaranteed absolutely correct in
weight. The prici> of the No. 06 Spalding Championship Bail-Bearing Ham-
mer, complete with sole-leather case, is .$7.50 for the 16-lb., and the same
price for the 12-lb. If bought without the leather case, tht; price is $5.50
for either the 16-lb. or 12-lb. In the ordinary style hammer, with wire
handle, but not ball-beariiig, the No. 9, Practice, made of lead, 12-11).,
costs $4.50, and the No. 10, Regulation, 16-lb. lead, $5. In iron hammers
the No. 12, Juvenile, 8-lb., costs .$2.50; the No. 14, Practice, $3.50, and
the No. 15, Regulation, 10-11).. .$3.75. Wire handles for any of the fore-
going hammers, with the excei)tion of the Championship, cost 75 cents each.
Handles for the Championship hammer are not supplied separately, but
have to be put in at the Si)alding factory at an extra charge.
It is advisable for a weiiilit-tlirower who wants to become expert to carry
his own weights, and particularly his own hammer. He can then arrange
to have the grip made to suit himself, and when necessary, to cover it
with leather, and he will not be called upon when he goes to a competition
to take the ordinary hammer with a handle with which he is not familiar.
The Spalding 50-lb. weight is made after designs submitted by Cham-
pion .Tames S. Mitchel, the winner of innumerable contests both in America
and Europe. It has been endorsed by all the leading weight-throwers, and
is guaranteed correct in weight and in exact accordance with the rules of
the Amateur Athletic Union. The 56-lb. weight is made in lead only, and
costs, complete, $12.
For shot putters the Spalding make is guaranteed correct in weight. Two
—
stvles of metal are used lead and iron. In lead, the 16-lb. shot. No. 1I>.
costs $3.50, and the 12-lb., No. 21, $3. In iron, the 16-lb., No. 23, costs
$1.75; the 12-lb., No. 25, $1.50; and the 8-lb.. No. 18, $1.25. The latter
weight is made in iron only. For indoor use Spalding supplies shot with a
leather cover, which prevents the shot from losing weight, even when used
constantlv. The prices on the leather-covered shot are as follows: 16-lb.,
No. 4, .$7.50; 12-lb., No. 3, $7; and the 8-lb.. No. 26, .$5. For indoor use,
however, the best shot is Spalding's patented rubber-covered indoor shot,
which is made according to scientific principles, with a rublier cover that
is perfectly round, giving ji fine grip and having the proper resiliency when
it comes in contact with the Ho(.r. It will wear longer than the ordinary
leather-covered, and in addition there is no possibility that Ihe lead dust
will sift out, therefore it is always full weight. It has been thoroughly
tested in the gymnasium of one of the greatest colleges in the country, and
pronounced perfect bv all who have had :in opportunity to use it. The
prices are: 16-lb., No. P, $10: 12-lli.. No. Q, .$9.
Since the revival of discus-throwing at the Olympic games at Athens in
1896, and which, by the way, was won by an American, Robert Garrett, of
Piinoeton, the Spalding discus has botii ncdjAiiized as the official discus,
and isi used exclusively by Martin Sheiid.in, the hero of the Olympic games
of 1906 at Athens, whose winnings contributed materially to the securing
liy the American team of the greatest number of points in the athletic
events. The price of the discus is $5. For the use of more youthful
athletes, however, a discus similar to the official discus is made, with the
exception that it is lighter in weight. This .Spalding Youths' Discus, as it
is called, has been endorsed by the Public Schools Athletic League, and
costs $4.
1' or the pole-vaulter, the greatest care is exercised in making Spalding
poles, only the most perfect and thoroughly seasoned pieces of spruce being
used, making them the only poles that are really tit and safe for an athlete.
The prices are as follows: No. 104, IG feet long, each, $7; No. 10?,, 14
feet long, $6; No. 102, 12 feet long, $5; No. 101, 10 feet long, $4; No. 100,
8 feet long, $3.
Spalding hollow spruce poles are considerably lighter than the solid poles,
and the interior is tilled with a special preparation which greatly increases
the strength and stiffness. The prices are: No. 204, 16 feet long, each, $10;
No. 203, 14 feet long, $9.50; No. 202, 12 feet long, $9; No, 201, 10 feet
long, $8.50; No. 200, 8 feet long, $8.
In getting up the line of vaulting standards extreme care is taken to
have the Spalding standards made carefully and well. There is nothing
flimsy about tliem, and the measurements are clearly and correctly marked,
so as to avoid any misunderstanding or dispute. The best is No. 109,
wooden uprights, graduated in half inches, adjustable to 13 feet, complete,
$15; No. Ill, wooden uprights, inch graduations, 7 feet high, $9.00. Hick-
ory crossbars, when purchased separately, cost $3 per dozen.
There is one article that a contestant in a pole-vaulting event must have,
and that is his own pole. There is a great deal in getting used to a pole
and having confidence in the one that is yours, because no other contestant
is allowed to use it, according to the rules, which is quite right, for it is
a mistake for a pole-vaulter to allow another to use his pole, especially if
the other man is heavier than the owner. Anyone can readily understand
that a man who weighs 160 pounds cannot use a pole designed for a man
W'eighing 115 pounds.
At the Buffalo Exposition and at the Olympic games in St. Louis the
FosteP Patent Safety Hurdle, manufactured by Spalding, was used exclu-
sively. This style can be used for either high or low hurdles. The frame
is 2 feet 6 inches high, Avith a horizontal rod passing through it 2 feet
above the ground. The hurdle is a wooden gate. 2 feet high, swinging on
this rod at a point 6 inches from one of the sides and 18 inches from the
other. With the short side up it measures 2 feet 6 inches from the ground,
and with the long side up, 3 feet 6 inches. The hurdle can be changed
from one height to the other in a few seconds, and is held firmly in either
position by a thumbscrew on the rod. The price of the Poster Safety
Hurdle is $3.50 each, and when purchased in sets of 40 hurdles, $100
per set.
In sprint races, wherever possible, each contestant should have his own
lane. A complete set of Spalding lanes, with sufficient cord and stakes to
lay out a 100-yards course, can be bought for $15. The stakes are very
strong and made with pointed ends, and can be driven into very hard
In laying out or rearranging grounds great care should be taken to see

that the field sports can go on without interference, and in the manage-
ment of a lai-ge meeting it is very essential that more than one field sport
should go on at more than one time. Therefore it should be arranged to
have the running broad jump, running high-jump and the circles for weight-
throwing separated. In order to have your plant as perfect as possible
it is necessary to have all the apparatus that is necessary, not only to
conduct an athletic meet, but to give the different athletes an opportunity
to practice the various sports. ^ ^ ^, , -, . r^r
Great care should ])e taken in the arrangement of the broad .lump. The
toe-board is a very important article, and is generally overlooked, and the
runway requires as much attention as the track. At the average athletic
grounds the jumping path is usually neglected. A regulation take-olf boiird
can be obtainot' from Spalding for $3, and a toe-board or stop-board lor
$3.50.
For the starter at an athletic meet Spalding has a very satisfactory and
correct style of starter's pistol in a .j2-ca liber pistol, with 2-inch barrel and
patent ejecting device, for .$0.00. Another necessary article is a whistle
for announcing that everything is ready for a start and also for attracting
the attention of the officials. Spalding has two very good styles of whistles,
-ither of which costs 25 cents each, it is well also to have several meas-
uring tapes to measure broad jumps, shot puts, hammer and weight throw-
ing. There are a great many different styles of measuring tapes made,
some plain, others in cases, but for general all-around use, as a really
reliable measure, the special tapes which Spalding has made up are beyond
any of the others. These steel tapes are furnished on patent electric reel,
which allows the entire tape open to dry. and can be reided and unreeled
as easily as tapes in cases. It is especially adapted to lay off courses and
long measurements, and accuracy is guarante(>d. This style tap<> is fur-
nished in two different lengths. No. IB. 100 feet long, graduated every
foot, and each end foot in inches, costs $5 each. No. IIB. 200 feet long,
graduated every foot, and each end foot in inches, costs $7.50. The captain
of the club should provide himself with several balls of yarn for the
finish.
Spalding's illustrated catalogue of all athletic sports should be in the
hands of every athlete. It will be mailed free on request by addressing the
nearest Spalding store, a list of which will be found on front inside cover
of this book.

fMIHE Spafding Official National League Ball was first adopted by the National League in 1878, and

The Spalding Official National League Ball has received this universal adoption because of its well
established reputation for uniformity and high quality, but the special object of such adoptions, front
the players' standpoint, is to secure absolute uniformity in a ball, that will prevent unfair "jockeying'*
with an unknown ball, and make National and International Base Ball contests possible, and at tM
same time make the records of players of value, and uniform throughout the world, which can onW
be secured by standardizing one well known ball.
The Spalding Official National League Ball

is used by Yale, Harvard, Princeton and all prominent college teams. The soldiers and sailors in thî
United States Army and Navy use it exclusively. In fact, the Spalding League ,
