#A Compliment to the Editor of The Guide.#
At the annual meeting of the National League, held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, on Nov. 15, 1894, on a motion made by C.H. Byrne, president of the Brooklyn club, Henry Chadwick, the veteran base ball writer, and editor of the League GUIDE since 1881, was, by a unanimous vote, made an honorary member of that body. This honor has been conferred upon but four other persons in the history of the League, namely: A.G. Mills, of New York, ex-President of the League; A.G. Spalding, of Chicago; George W. Howe, of Cleveland, and John B. Day, of New York. In presenting Mr. Chadwick's name Mr. Byrne spoke enthusiastically of the effective work the veteran had done for years in popularizing base ball, and called attention to the fact that Mr. Chadwick was the recognized authority in all matters pertaining to base ball, and to him more than any other individual living is due the credit for the present almost perfect code of rules governing the game.
The League subsequently appointed a committee, consisting of President N.E. Young, C.H. Byrne, of Brooklyn, and A.J. Reach, of Philadelphia, to prepare a proper address to Mr. Chadwick, and to have same engrossed and framed for presentation. The result of their official duty was an exceptionally handsome piece of engrossing, set in a gilt frame. A pastel portrait of Mr. Chadwick is in the centre of a decorative scroll on which is the following testimonial:
The
NATIONAL LEAGUE AND AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
of
PROFESSIONAL BASE BALL CLUBS OF THE UNITED STATES
to
HENRY CHADWICK.
At a regular annual meeting of the National League and American
Association of Professional Base Ball Clubs, held in New York City,
November 15, 1894, all twelve clubs being present,
MR. HENRY CHADWICK,
of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
was by a unanimous vote elected an
HONORARY MEMBER
of this body.
In conferring this membership this organization pays the highest tribute in its power to one who, during a number of years almost as great as is usually alloted to man to live, has unselfishly devoted his time, his talents and his energies, by voice and pen, to establish BASE BALL as the NATIONAL GAME of America.
At all times and in all places he has diligently worked for its DEVELOPMENT, and battled for its INTEGRITY, its HONESTY and the PURITY of its methods.
He has been an unflinching foe of those within the ranks who permitted any stigma to attach to it and a gallant defender against any attack from without, touching its good name and fame. Always a devoted friend of the honest ball player, he has been a never-failing advocate of the rights of and the respect due the umpire. His advice and good offices most frequently sought have ever been readily given, and to the benefit and advantage of all.
We pay this tribute with pleasure and deference to
HENRY CHADWICK,
the father of base ball, who now in the full of his years and after a long life of usefulness to his fellow man, still lives to see the fruition of his fondest hopes, and base ball, which he has fostered and upheld, pleaded for and battled for, now established forevermore as our national game.
The National League and American Association of Professional Base Ball
Clubs, Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis, Chicago.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN!!
1. ART OF CURVE PITCHING. 3. ART OF ZIGZAG CURVE PITCHING. 2. ART OF BATTING. 4. ART OF BASE RUNNING.
These four books ought to be read by every ball player in America. Although written for amateurs they are highly recommended by professionals. You can get more information from them in two hours of careful study than you can get from field practice in #Two Years#, and for a very little money, too. They are plain, practical, and scientific, and at their low price no player can afford to be without them. Nearly 40,000 copies sold to date. Price, by mail, 15 cents each—the four at one time for 50 cents. Special discounts to clubs on receipt of stamp. A premium worth 50 cents given free to every tenth purchaser and also to everyone who orders the four books at one time. Order the four and get twice the value of your money. Read on!
THE MAGIC BASE BALL CURVER!!
As a result of careful study and experiment I have perfected a mechanical device that will enable any intelligent amateur pitcher, with a very little practice, to discount the best professional in existence in the matter of curves. It is neatly constructed on scientific principles and is a marvel of simplicity. It is so small that no one will notice it and the batsmen will wonder where those #Awful# curves come from. The pitcher who uses one of these "Curvers" has the opposing team completely at his mercy. It is worth $10 to any pitcher, but I will send it, postpaid, to any address, on receipt of 25 cents in cash or 30 cents in stamps. Send for one without delay. Write plainly. Wrap coin in paper. For any of the above, address,
EDWARD J. PRINDLE, Torrington, Conn.
N. B.—Order all goods direct from me if you desire to get a premium. Don't forget it.
PRACTICAL BALL PLAYING.
By ARTHUR IRWIN.
Without a doubt the most practical book ever written which illustrates and tells distinctly how any one can become an expert ball player.
Especially adapted for College Players, Amateurs and Semi-professionals. It describes the proper way to field, hints to batteries, how to become a good catcher, how to play first base, second base, and third base, also a special chapter for fielders. The articles in relation to batting, both individual and team, are the best ever written. The book contains many accurate illustrations, showing what positions to assume when at the bat, when in the field and in the pitcher's box.
Probably no man in America is more qualified to write on this subject than Arthur Irwin of the Philadelphia League Club and Coacher of the University of Pennsylvania.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY:#
The Michigan Central provides the best possible service that could be expected between the East and the West.—Christian Leader, Boston.
"Comfort in Travel" has nowhere reached a higher degree of perfection than on this far and justly famed road.—Christian Herald, Detroit.
The Michigan Central is one of the best managed and most satisfactory railroads in the world to travel by.—Rochester Post Express.
"Comfort in Travel" is a phrase that among experienced travelers has come to be almost synonymous with "Michigan Central."—Democrat and Chronicle.
Safe, luxurious and fast running over a peerless track, amid the grandest scenery, the Michigan Central trains make comfort in travel a delightful reality.—Buffalo Enquirer.
"Comfort in Travel," that want of all tourist and commercial birds of passage, is invariably filled on the Michigan Central, "The Niagara Falls Route."—Evening Wisconsin.
As for the promise of "Comfort in Travel" by this road, as well as the speed and safety realized, the many thousands who pass over it will surely testify that it is kept to the letter.—The Standard, Chicago.
