"EDITOR'S NOTE—The Daily News makes no apology for placing in this position of honor on the first page the opening chapters of a serial story dealing with baseball events and baseball heroes.
"The Daily News believes in clean athletic sports, believes in encouraging them and in keeping them clean. Baseball is the national game. It is not only the most popular sport in the United States, but it is national in the sense that it expresses the ingenuity, the energy and the agility of the typical American. Viewed in this light, baseball possesses a dignity of its own and an entertaining and informing piece of literary work about it cannot be trivial. What is elevating, what is interesting, and what is dignified cannot but make a strong appeal to the appreciation of every reader."—The Chicago News, March 21, 1910.
"The best baseball story ever written."—The Evening World, New York, N. Y., March 14, 1910.
"I have read WON IN THE NINTH with much interest and it has been very entertaining."—Charles W. Murphy, President Chicago National League Baseball Club, Chicago, April 8, 1910.
"WON IN THE NINTH is a great book, and one that every lover of the game should read."—Charles A. Comiskey, President Chicago White Sox American League Baseball Club, Chicago, April 7, 1910.
