SPALDING] - -Anticipating the present tendency 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 athletics 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 Athletic Library is unique in its own particular field -and has been conceded the greatest educational series on athletic and -physical training subjects 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 initial 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, however, 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 occasional -meets, when an entry list of 250 competitors was a subject of comment; -golf was known only by a comparatively few persons; lawn tennis had some -vogue and base ball was practically the only established field sport, -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 get a -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 thousand, 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 growth 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 leading -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 leading -numbers of Spalding’s Athletic Library is given herewith: - - - JAMES E. SULLIVAN - -[Illustration] - -President American Sports Publishing Company; entered the publishing -house of Frank Leslie in 1878, and has been connected continuously with -the publishing business since then and also as athletic editor of -various New York papers; was a competing athlete; one of the organizers -of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States; has been actively on -its board of governors since its organization until the present time, -and President for two successive terms; has attended every championship -meeting in America since 1879 and has officiated in some capacity in -connection with American amateur championships track and field games for -nearly twenty-five years; assistant American director Olympic Games, -Paris, 1900; director Pan-American Exposition athletic department, 1901; -chief department physical culture Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. -Louis, 1904; secretary American Committee Olympic Games, at Athens, -1906; honorary director of Athletics at Jamestown Exposition, 1907; -secretary American Committee Olympic Games, at London, 1908; member of -the Pastime A. C., New York: honorary member Missouri A. C., St. Louis; -honorary member Olympic A. C., San Francisco; ex-president Pastime A. -C., New Jersey A. C., Knickerbocker A. C.; president Metropolitan -Association of the A. A. U. for fifteen years; president Outdoor -Recreation League; with Dr. Luther H. Gulick organized the Public -Schools Athletic League of New York, and is now chairman of its games -committee and member executive committee; was a pioneer in playground -work and one of the organizers of the Outdoor Recreation League of New -York; appointed by President Roosevelt as special commissioner to the -Olympic Games at Athens, 1906, and decorated by King George I. of the -Hellenes (Greece) for his services in connection with the Olympic Games; -appointed special commissioner by President Roosevelt to the Olympic -Games at London, 1908; appointed by Mayor McClellan, 1908, as member of -the Board of Education of Greater New York. - - - WALTER CAMP - -[Illustration] - -For quarter of a century Mr. Walter Camp of Yale has occupied a leading -position in college athletics. It is immaterial what organization 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 has probably written more on college -athletics than any other writer and the leading papers and magazines 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 -remember his remarkable knowledge of the game of base ball, of which he -is a 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 life better qualified to write for Spalding’s Athletic -Library than Mr. Camp. - - - DR. LUTHER HALSEY GULICK - -[Illustration] - -The leading exponent of physical training in America; one who has worked -hard to impress the value of physical training in the schools; when -physical training was combined with education at the St. Louis -Exposition in 1904 Dr. Gulick played an important part in 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, organized the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New -York, and was its first Secretary; Dr. Gulick was also for several years -Director of Physical Training in the public schools of Greater New York, -resigning the position to assume the Presidency of the Playground -Association of America.

MITCHEL - -[Illustration] - -Former champion weight thrower; holder of numerous records, and is the -winner of more championships than any other individual in the history of -sport; Mr. Mitchel is a close student of athletics and well qualified to -write upon any topic connected with athletic sport; has been for years -on the staff of the New York Sun. - - - MICHAEL C. MURPHY - -[Illustration] - -The world’s most famous athletic trainer; the champion athletes that he -has developed for track and field sports, foot ball and base ball -fields, would run into thousands; he became famous when at Yale -University and has been particularly successful in developing what might -be termed championship teams; his rare good judgment has placed him in -an enviable position in the athletic world now with the University of -Pennsylvania: during his career has trained only at two colleges and one -athletic club, Yale and the University of Pennsylvania and Detroit -Athletic Club: his most recent triumph was that of training the famous -American team of athletes that swept the field at the Olympic Games of -1908 at London. - - - DR.

GWATHMEY, M.D. - - - Published by - AMERICAN SPORTS PUBLISHING COMPANY - 21 Warren Street, New York - - - - - COPYRIGHT, 1910 - - BY - - AMERICAN SPORTS PUBLISHING COMPANY - - NEW YORK - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - - TUMBLING FOR AMATEURS - - -Teachers, especially in public gymnasia, where the attendance is -voluntary, will welcome anything that will make the exercises more -attractive and do away, as far as possible, with the idea of “work.” - -Tumbling should form a part of every system taught in our public -gymnasia, and to those who have not heretofore studied the subject we -submit the following propositions: - -1. Tumbling will develop, harmoniously, the whole body without the aid -of any apparatus whatever, or any other set of exercises. A careful -study of the physiques of professional tumblers will verify this -statement. - -2. The exercises can be easily graded, so that there will be absolutely -no danger in going from primary to advanced tumbling. In individual -tumbling, the body being always close to the ground, the chances of a -break or a sprain are reduced to a minimum; and in comparison with other -forms of exercise, such as boxing, wrestling, or apparatus work, the -percentage of accidents will be found to compare most favorably. - -3. Friends can enter into the keenest competition, urging each other to -the highest possible development and perfection, and never experience -the inconveniences of black eyes and bruises—the usual resultants of -combative exercises. - -4. At least 50 per cent. of those entering the gymnasium can participate -in some form of tumbling, either individual or combination; the greatest -progress for adults being attained in the latter, where two or more men -exercise together. - -5. No expensive appliances or apparatus is necessary in introducing or -teaching tumbling, the mats absolutely essential in any gymnasium being -all-sufficient for ordinary class work. But if tumbling is to be made a -feature, then a large mat, 15 feet long by 6 feet wide and 2 feet high -and stuffed with straw or hay, will be found a very attractive addition, -as it can be used to great advantage with any gymnastic apparatus. - -6. For boys, tumbling is the most natural exercise in the world, as they -are easily interested and held in this form of exercise when a dumb-bell -drill would run them away. Besides the development, they get -co-ordination and control to a remarkable extent, which will be -invaluable to them in any exercise that they may engage in later on. - -7. A tumbler easily adapts himself to all gymnastic apparatus, and will -usually be found to be more graceful than an exclusive apparatus worker. -If teachers who have never used tumbling would introduce it, it would do -away, in a great measure, with that stiffness which is so distasteful to -many; and, if as systematically taught as their apparatus work, would -change the product of their gymnasiums from the top-heavy type to a -symmetrical whole. - -8. It is the one universal exercise used by the whole human family from -the earliest times to the dawn of the twentieth century, and will -continue in use as long as the world lasts. The millions of babies -tumbling in the world to-day, learning their first physical exercise—to -walk—reminds us that we have all taken a few lessons, at least, in this -most useful art. - -9. Tumbling is of more importance than all other exercises, as, _nolens -volens_, we all take a tumble occasionally; and if we know how to -tumble—so as to land on our feet or keep from falling—it will give us a -confidence that we would not otherwise have. There seems to be a very -prevalent idea that if a man has never learned how to tumble before he -is twenty-one he had just as well not start. On the contrary, if a -person has never taken gymnastic exercises, he can make greater -advancement in tumbling than in almost any other form of exercise, if -his physique permits of tumbling at all. After acquiring a few of the -exercises, tumbling can be practiced with pleasure and satisfaction on -any lawn, sand-bar, or sawdust pile, and in this way will prove of more -practical utility than almost any form of gymnastics. - -A word of caution might not be out of place: In teaching adults (where a -large mat, such as already described, is not used) the small mats cannot -be piled too high to prevent jars and shocking surprises. If pupils -suffer from dizziness, excuse them from these exercises. In combination -tumbling the belt, or lunger, must always be put on for a first trial, -however simple the exercise may appear. - -In the following pages I have depended almost entirely upon the -illustrations, and have intentionally made the text as short and concise -as possible—following the plan of Messrs. Hitchcock and Nelligan’s most -excellent work, “Wrestling.” I am also indebted to Dr. William Anderson, -of Yale University, for many valuable suggestions. - - JAMES T. GWATHMEY. - -[Illustration] - - - - - PRIMARY TUMBLING - - -1. =The Forward Roll Over.= Double up close, and finish standing erect -on toes.

Bend -arms, duck head, and forward roll over. Never strike middle of back -first. Commence with the forward roll over (Figs. 1, 2, 3), and -gradually increase the height or distance until you can finally go your -full limit without jolting or bumping yourself in the least. The rise is -usually from both feet. - -14. =Dive= (1) =for distance=, (2) =for height=. - -15. =Combine the Forward Roll Over and Dive for= (1) =Distance=, (2) for -=Height=. - -16. =Fall Forward without Bending at Hips=, with knees stiff; catch on -hands. - -17. =Fall Backward=, stiff (stage fall). - -18. =Fall Forward=, with chest out, and back arched.

Fig. 12. - -28. =Head Stand.= Place the hands in line on the mat, and the head -between and about 10 inches in advance, forming an equilateral triangle; -throw feet over head, with knees together and toes pointed upward; hold -30 seconds, then forward roll over. - -20. =Hand Stand.= Beginners can best learn this by placing the hands on -floor 1½ feet from wall and throwing the feet up against the wall. In -practising hand stands on the floor, come down easy to feet the same way -you threw into position, or pick up right or left hand as you -overbalance and come to feet, or bend arms and roll over. Fig. 13. - -30. =Head Stand.= Push up into hand stand without losing balance. - -31. =Forward Roll Over into Head Stand.= - -32. =Backward Roll Over into Head Stand.= - -N. B.—Do not compete in holding head stands for time. Caution boys -especially against this foolish practice. - -33. =“Bucking Broncho.”= Throw almost into hand stand, bend knees and -push up hard with hands, throwing head and shoulders up and back, snap -feet to floor and come to standing position; jump to hands again and -repeat. - -34. =The Forward Roll Over into Hand Stand.= - -35. =The Backward Roll Over into Hand Stand.= - -[Illustration] - -36. Body stiff, face downward, resting on hands and feet, without -raising either hand, jump between hands to lying-down position on back. - -37. =Roll Down.= From hand stand incline head and shoulders forward, -bend arms until chest touches, keep back arched, roll to lying-down -position on mat, then to knees, and jump to feet immediately. - -38. =Head Stand and Roll Down.= - -39.

Same as 51, only alight on balls of feet, with knees stiff, back -arched, and perfectly erect position. - -54. =The Cart-wheel.= Either right or left side leading, keep the head -back, chest and stomach well out, hands and feet as well separated as -possible. If right side leads, place right hand on floor following with -left, then left foot followed by right. Continue movement by keeping in -a straight line. - -55. =Round Off.= Start as in cart-wheel, but hand spring movement, turn, -snap the feet down quickly, and alight facing starting-point. - -56. Roll over backward to back of neck and snap up. - -57. Jump, turn in air, alight facing starting-point, and back roll over. - -58. Combine hand stand (Fig. 13) and snap up (Fig. 15). - -59.

Two head springs into hand stand, roll down (37), pull through (36), -and snap up (48). - -71. Dive, back roll into hand stand, to neck, and snap up. - -The combinations of the foregoing movements are infinite, and the -inventive teacher can repeat the same exercises in a different order or -combination, making new movements out of the old ones, and thus keeping -up the interest and enthusiasm from day to day. Select ten or twelve -movements from the preceding list, and give as a drill for one lesson. -Change the order, and repeat for next lesson; but give an entirely -different drill for third lesson. As the pupils advance let them put in -their own combinations at the end of each lesson. - -[Illustration] - - - - - ADVANCED TUMBLING - - -Note.—Advanced tumbling should never be attempted alone the first time. -A belt, with an assistant on either side, is the usual method of -practising these exercises. Do not hurry. Practise one movement day -after day until you are proficient, remembering that a difficult -movement once mastered is as simple as any other, and that after -learning you can execute them with ease and impunity. It is folly, not -bravery, to attempt movements by yourself that you are not sure of; and -you are the one to decide this, not others. - -1. =Back Somersault.= From standing position, hands by the side, spring -straight up (do not bend forward as you stoop for spring), throwing -hands high above head; throw the head back, and, grasping the knees, -pull them well in at the highest point of jump, at the same time kicking -the feet forward; let out, and come down straight. Fig. 21. - -2. From a hand stand snap to feet and a back somersault. - -3. Round off and a back somersault. - -4. Two, three, or four back somersaults in a swing. - -5. Forward run and back somersault. - -6. Cart-wheel, round off, and back. - -7. =Front Somersault.= Run forward, and as you run increase your speed; -spring from either right or left foot a distance of from 8 to 12 feet, -landing on the balls of both feet, hands by the side (Fig. 70), chest -out, and head erect (not forward); jump for height, lifting the body by -a quick upward swing of the arms, and at the highest point of the jump -throw head and hands down with a snap, grasp the legs a short distance -below the knees and pull in close and hard, doubling up close, then -straighten out quickly and alight on balls of feet in erect position. -Fig. 22. - -[Illustration] - -Note.—Make the jump for height the fastest part of the run, and as you -jump increase your speed so as to get the greatest height attainable, -double into as small a ball as possible, and then let out and come down -perfectly straight, and you have the ideal somersault. - -8. =Standing Front Somersault.= Hands by the sides (Fig. 70), spring -straight upward, lifting with arms and shoulders, and as you reach the -limit of your height throw head and hands forward with a snap, grasping -ankles and pulling in close; then let out again quickly. - -9. =The Layout Front Somersault.= (Done principally from the -spring-board, although a few exceptionally fine jumpers can do it from -the mat.) As you rise for the somersault throw the hands well out in -front, with arms perfectly stiff, head up, chest out; hold this position -for a second, then make a quick, close double as in the ordinary -somersault; let out and come down straight. - -10. =One Foot Front.= Stand on one foot and execute regular somersault. - -11. =Knee Front.= From kneeling position raise to feet, regular -somersault. - -12. =Head Spring and Front Somersault.= - -13. =Hand Spring and Front Somersault.= - -14. =Two Front Somersaults in Quick Succession.= - -N. B.—A double somersault should never be attempted by amateurs. - -[Illustration] - -15. =Back Hand Spring, or “Flip”= (the most difficult of all tumbling -exercises). From standing position raise the heels, bend the knees, let -the hands go back past sides, keep the body, from waist up, straight, -stoop until hands can nearly touch the mat; from this position throw the -hands swiftly forward and upward, at the same time raise on toes (but do -not jump at all), arching the back well in, head and arms thrown as far -back as possible; pull the body over by momentum of shoulders, body, and -head. Figs. 23, 24, 25. - -16. =Hand Stand, Snap to Feet, and Flip.= - -17. =Hand Stand, Snap to Feet, Flip, and Back.= - -18. =A Row of Flips; Two or More in Quick Succession.= - -19. =Alternate Flips and Backs.= - -20. =Round Off and Flip.= - -21. =Round Off, Flip, and Back.= - -22. =Twisting Flip.= As the hands hit, twist the body and alight facing -in opposite direction from which you started. - -23. =A Series of Twisting Flips.= The hands strike about the same place -each time. - -24. =Twisting Back.= Regular movement, only throw head hard to right or -left and alight facing opposite direction from which you started. Fig. -74. - -25. =Hand Stand, Snap to Feet, and Twisting Flip.= - -26. =Round Off and Twisting Back.= - -27. =Running Twisting Forward Somersault.= Regular movement, only throw -head hard to right or left, and alight facing direction from which you -started. - -28. =Running Side Somersault.= Alight sideways and turn sideways. - -Devise, invent, and make up your own combinations. - -[Illustration] - - - - - COMBINATION TUMBLING - - -By this is meant a series of combinations by two or more men exercising -together. In these exercises a belt must always be put on for the first -trial (or assistants stand on either side), however simple the exercises -may appear, and must be kept on until the exercise is thoroughly -mastered, which would mean that you have each other’s time and act in -unison. Work with the same men all the time; beware of strangers, even -if both of you understand the exercises. Do not be afraid to use caution -and common sense. Only combinations that can be mastered by business men -with limited time have been put in; the more dangerous ones, requiring -much time, being intentionally omitted. In all of the following -exercises No. 1 is the heaviest or “bottom” man; No. 2, “middle” man; -and No. 3, “top” man (or lightest man). - - - ELEPHANT WALK. - -1. Stand facing each other. No. 2 puts hands on No. 1’s shoulders, -springs up and throws legs around No. 1’s waist, then leans backward and -drops between No. 1’s legs, who then bends forward and places hands on -floor keeping knees stiff; No. 2 places hands on No. 1’s heels and -straightens arms; No. 1 then walks off (also with a small boy on top), -or untwists legs and both do a roll over. Fig. 26. - -[Illustration] - - - WALK OFF. - -2. No. 2 makes hand stand, feet well apart; No. 1 steps in, letting legs -rest on hips, and grasps heels of No. 2, who straightens himself, arms -folded; No. 1 then walks off with him.

Anderson, Associate Director Yale University Gymnasium: “I - believe in ‘tumbling’ as an exercise. It makes a man quick, agile, - and very sure-footed. It is a form of sport that is popular and - perfectly legitimate when properly taught. We have no good book on - the subject, but need one. If such a work is to be presented to - those interested in this subject, it ought to be written by a man - who has had much experience in actual tumbling, who is familiar with - the mechanism of the body, and who is educated. Dr. James T. - Gwathmey, of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., is just the - person to compile a book on this form of gymnastics. He is a clever - performer, a teacher of wide experience, and an educated physician. - I have looked over the MS. of the Doctor’s new book, and I indorse - it.” - - * * * * * - - McGill University, Montreal, Canada. - - R. Tait McKenzie, M.D.: “I am glad to find some one ready and able - to draw the veil from a branch of gymnastics which the professional - acrobat has so long kept shrouded in mystery. The reducing of the - various feats of tumbling to a progressive sequence, and the - analyzing of the various combinations, is indeed a difficult task; - but your kinetoscope method of illustration will make clear what - would otherwise require pages of description. Your work can not but - assist any one of ordinary ability in mastering the rudiments of the - art; but it will also appeal to the much wider field of all who - admire acrobatics, and will give them some idea of the difficulties - mastered by the professional, whose work they will more fully - appreciate. I wish your book every success.” - -[Illustration] - - * * * * * - - Ithaca, N. Y. - - E. Hitchcock, Jr., M.D., Director of Department of Hygiene and - Physical Training, Cornell University: “It has always seemed to me - that this graphic method of instructing is the most useful, and I - know that this subject in your hands will help enormously in - instructing in a decidedly difficult branch of gymnastic work.” - - * * * * * - - Amherst, Mass. - - E. Hitchcock, M.D., Amherst College, Pratt Gymnasium: “In physical - education, as in many other branches of mental and bodily training, - there are some advanced branches which are adapted to the few and - not the many. Acrobatic work is one of these. But it should be - controlled, cultivated, and made good use of, like the other work, - which may be undertaken by anybody. It is a pleasure to know that a - manual on this subject is to be prepared and furnished for our use - by one so capable to issue the book as is Dr. Gwathmey, of - Vanderbilt University. We shall wait impatiently to get hold of it.” - - * * * * * - - Amherst, Mass. - - R. F. Nelligan, Instructor, Amherst College: “For sound men and boys - tumbling is one of the best and most exhilarating of exercises, when - practised under favorable conditions. Of course tumbling on a brick - sidewalk differs from tumbling on a hair-stuffed mattress, with the - aid of the safety appliances while learning. It has been said that - one can not learn after reaching maturity. This is not so, as many - first-class tumblers did not commence until after reaching - twenty-five. At the age of thirty-two I was induced to take up - tumbling under Dr. Gwathmey, and, with the aid of his safety - appliances, succeeded in learning to do fairly well over fifty - different movements and combinations.” - -[Illustration] - - * * * * * - - Kansas City, Mo. - - Carl Betz, Supervisor Music and Physical Training, Public Schools: - “Your book, ‘Tumbling for Amateurs,’ which you have announced, will - undoubtedly be hailed with delight by thousands of young American - men who seek and find recreation in this particular kind of - exercise. The photographs that will illuminate the pages of your - book will be of intrinsic value to amateurs, who usually have no - expert teacher to explain to them minutely each step of the - exercise. If the element of danger in tumbling is greater than is - consistent with the needs of physical education, as some claim it - is, then your book, giving such minute instructions, and photographs - of the body passing through the different stages of each exercise, - cannot fail to reduce that danger to a degree which every - interesting gymnastic exercise must contain. I therefore cheerfully - recommend your interesting and timely little book to all who may - wish to learn and practice the delightful pastime of tumbling.” - - * * * * * - - St. Louis, Mo. - - William A. Stecher, Secretary Technical Committee, Nord - Amerikanischer Turnerbund: “I think that your undertaking is a very - commendable one; for I believe that the greater the control a person - has over his body—and tumbling undoubtedly increases this—the better - off he is. I wish you all success.” - - * * * * * - - Milwaukee, Wis. - - Frank Pfister, M.D., Editor Mind and Body: “Received your favor of - the 7th inst., and congratulate you upon the idea of publishing a - manual on tumbling, for nothing recommendable exists in that line.” - -[Illustration] - - * * * * * - - Springfield, Mass. - - Luther Gulick, M.D. (“History of Physical Training”), International - Y. M. C. A. Training-School: “Your letter of the 7th is at hand, - with the excellent cuts that were inclosed. You ought not to charge - less than one dollar for the book. I do not know but what you could - get more. I shall be very glad to purchase a copy of the book as - soon as it is published. Please let me know.” - - * * * * * - - Chicago, Ill. - - G. W. Ehler, Physical Director of the Y. M. C. A. of Chicago, - Central Department: “There is a necessity for a good book on - tumbling, as there is none now in print to my knowledge; and I - believe that such a book would meet with a very hearty reception by - physical directors and by others who are interested.” - - * * * * * - - Boston, Mass. - - Robert J. Roberts: “I approve of your idea of getting out such a - book as you speak of. I would keep out the dangerous exercises; or, - if you put them in, hedge them in so that amateurs will not use - them. There is no kind of physical work that will so harmoniously - develop every part of the body as tumbling.” - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - - OFFICIAL RULES FOR ALL ATHLETIC SPORTS. - - -The following list contains the Group and the Number of the book of -Spalding’s Athletic Library in which the rules wanted are contained.

Clothes placed in them -become covered with dust, and the lockers themselves present a poor -appearance, resembling animal cages. - -=Durand-Steel Lockers= are made of finest grade furniture steel and are -finished with gloss black, furnace-baked japan (400°), comparable to -that used on hospital ware, which will never flake off nor require -refinishing, as do paints and enamels. - -[Illustration: Six Lockers in Double Tier] - -[Illustration: Three Lockers in Single Tier] - -=Durand-Steel Lockers= are usually built with doors perforated full -length in panel design with sides and backs solid. This prevents clothes -in one locker from coming in contact with wet garments in adjoining -lockers, while plenty of ventilation is secured by having the door -perforated its entire length, but, if the purchaser prefers, we -perforate the backs also. - -=The cost of Durand-Steel Lockers is no more than that of first-class -wooden lockers=, and they last as long as the building, are sanitary, -secure, and, in addition, are fire-proof. - - THE FOLLOWING STANDARD SIZES ARE THOSE MOST COMMONLY USED: - - DOUBLE TIER - - 12 × 12 × 36 Inch - 15 × 15 × 36 Inch - 12 × 12 × 42 Inch - 15 × 15 × 42 Inch - - SINGLE TIER - - 12 × 12 × 60 Inch - 15 × 15 × 60 Inch - 12 × 12 × 72 Inch - 15 × 15 × 72 Inch - - SPECIAL SIZES MADE TO ORDER. - -We are handling lockers as a special contract business, and shipment -will in every case be made direct from the factory in Chicago.

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. The 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 for the interest and protection of -the users of Athletic Goods, and acts in two ways: - - FIRST—The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods, - and the same fixed prices to everybody. - - SECOND—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 Goods are required to -supply consumers at our regular printed catalogue prices—neither more -nor less—the same prices that similar goods are sold for in our New -York, Chicago and other stores. - -All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are -treated exactly alike, and no 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. - - A. G. SPALDING & BROS. - -[Illustration: By A. G. Spalding. PRESIDENT.] - - - - - Standard 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 Service 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 -“inferior 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 -maintaining 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 consumers 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 quality—and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality. - -[Illustration: A.

G. Spalding</span></p> -</div> -</div> - -<p class='c004'>Anticipating the present tendency -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 athletics -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 Athletic -Library is unique in its own particular -field and has been conceded -the greatest educational series on -athletic and physical training subjects -that has ever been compiled.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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 initial -number, which was followed at intervals with other handbooks on the -sports prominent in the ’70s.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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, however, 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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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 occasional -meets, when an entry list of 250 competitors was a subject of comment; -golf was known only by a comparatively few persons; lawn tennis -had some vogue and base ball was practically the only established field -sport, 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 get a -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 thousand, and in whose -“elementary series” in base ball last year 106 schools competed for the -trophy emblematic of the championship.</p> - -<p class='c005'>While Spalding’s Athletic Library cannot claim that the rapid growth -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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>In selecting the editors and writers for the various books, the leading -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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>A short sketch of a few of those who have edited some of the leading -numbers of Spalding’s Athletic Library is given herewith:</p> - -<div class='ph3'> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c002'> - <div>JAMES E.

Mr. -Camp has probably written more on college -athletics than any other writer and the leading papers and magazines -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 remember -his remarkable knowledge of the game of base ball, of which he is a -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.

Tumbling will develop, harmoniously, the whole body -without the aid of any apparatus whatever, or any other set -of exercises. A careful study of the physiques of professional -tumblers will verify this statement.</p> - -<p class='c005'>2. The exercises can be easily graded, so that there will be -absolutely no danger in going from primary to advanced -tumbling. In individual tumbling, the body being always -close to the ground, the chances of a break or a sprain are -reduced to a minimum; and in comparison with other forms -of exercise, such as boxing, wrestling, or apparatus work, -the percentage of accidents will be found to compare most -favorably.</p> - -<p class='c005'>3. Friends can enter into the keenest competition, urging -each other to the highest possible development and perfection, -and never experience the inconveniences of black eyes -and bruises—the usual resultants of combative exercises.</p> - -<p class='c005'>4. At least 50 per cent. of those entering the gymnasium -<span class='pageno' id='Page_4'>4</span>can participate in some form of tumbling, either individual -or combination; the greatest progress for adults being attained -in the latter, where two or more men exercise together.</p> - -<p class='c005'>5. No expensive appliances or apparatus is necessary in -introducing or teaching tumbling, the mats absolutely essential -in any gymnasium being all-sufficient for ordinary class -work. But if tumbling is to be made a feature, then a large -mat, 15 feet long by 6 feet wide and 2 feet high and stuffed -with straw or hay, will be found a very attractive addition, -as it can be used to great advantage with any gymnastic apparatus.</p> - -<p class='c005'>6. For boys, tumbling is the most natural exercise in the -world, as they are easily interested and held in this form of -exercise when a dumb-bell drill would run them away. Besides -the development, they get co-ordination and control to -a remarkable extent, which will be invaluable to them in any -exercise that they may engage in later on.</p> - -<p class='c005'>7. A tumbler easily adapts himself to all gymnastic apparatus, -and will usually be found to be more graceful than -an exclusive apparatus worker. If teachers who have never -used tumbling would introduce it, it would do away, in a -great measure, with that stiffness which is so distasteful to -many; and, if as systematically taught as their apparatus -work, would change the product of their gymnasiums from the -top-heavy type to a symmetrical whole.</p> - -<p class='c005'>8. It is the one universal exercise used by the whole human -family from the earliest times to the dawn of the twentieth -century, and will continue in use as long as the world lasts. -The millions of babies tumbling in the world to-day, learning -<span class='pageno' id='Page_5'>5</span>their first physical exercise—to walk—reminds us that we -have all taken a few lessons, at least, in this most useful art.</p> - -<p class='c005'>9. Tumbling is of more importance than all other exercises, -as, <i><span lang="la" xml:lang="la">nolens volens</span></i>, we all take a tumble occasionally; and if -we know how to tumble—so as to land on our feet or keep -from falling—it will give us a confidence that we would not -otherwise have. There seems to be a very prevalent idea -that if a man has never learned how to tumble before he is -twenty-one he had just as well not start. On the contrary, if -a person has never taken gymnastic exercises, he can make -greater advancement in tumbling than in almost any other -form of exercise, if his physique permits of tumbling at all. -After acquiring a few of the exercises, tumbling can be practiced -with pleasure and satisfaction on any lawn, sand-bar, -or sawdust pile, and in this way will prove of more practical -utility than almost any form of gymnastics.</p> - -<p class='c005'>A word of caution might not be out of place: In teaching -adults (where a large mat, such as already described, is not -used) the small mats cannot be piled too high to prevent -jars and shocking surprises. If pupils suffer from dizziness, -excuse them from these exercises. In combination tumbling -the belt, or lunger, must always be put on for a first trial, -however simple the exercise may appear.</p> - -<p class='c005'>In the following pages I have depended almost entirely -upon the illustrations, and have intentionally made the text -as short and concise as possible—following the plan of -Messrs. Hitchcock and Nelligan’s most excellent work, -“Wrestling.” I am also indebted to Dr. William Anderson, -of Yale University, for many valuable suggestions.</p> - -<div class='lg-container-r'> - <div class='linegroup'> - <div class='group'> - <div class='line'>JAMES T.

To meet these conditions of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to -set a proportionately high list price on his goods to the consumer.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. The 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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.”</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>The “Spalding Policy” is decidedly for the interest and protection of the users of Athletic Goods, -and acts in two ways:</p> - -<p class='c008'><span class='sc'>First</span>—The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods, and -the same fixed prices to everybody.</p> - -<p class='c008'><span class='sc'>Second</span>—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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are required to supply consumers at our -regular printed catalogue prices—neither more nor less—the same prices that similar goods are sold -for in our New York, Chicago and other stores.</p> - -<p class='c005'>All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated exactly alike, and no -special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>This, briefly, is the “Spalding Policy,” which has already been in successful operation for the -past ten years, and will be indefinitely continued.</p> - -<p class='c005'>In other words, “The Spalding Policy” is a “square deal” for everybody.</p> - -<div class='c030'>A.

As a protection to -the users of this currency against counterfeiting and other tricks, considerable money -is expended in maintaining a Secret Service 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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>Consequently the “Consumer’s Protection” against misrepresentation and “inferior -quality” rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the “Manufacturer.”</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>The necessity of upholding the guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and maintaining -the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvious as is the -necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency.</p> - -<p class='c005'>Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other consumers -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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>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.</p> - -<p class='c005'>We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than poverty -in quality—and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.</p> - -<div class='figleft id002'> -<img src='images/i_b_083a.jpg' alt='A.
