About This Book
Excerpt from Base-Ball: How to Become a Player, With the Origin, History, and Explanation of the GameThe author ventures to present this book to the pub lic, because he believes there are many points in the game of base-ball which can be told only by a player. He has given some space to a consideration of the origin and early history of the game, because they are subjects deserving of more attention than is generally accorded them.
