"Spalding's League Ball" enjoys the very highest reputation among the base ball players of America, as evidenced by its general use throughout the country in all championship games played under League rules. It was first adopted by the National League as the official ball of that association in 1879, and has been each successive year since that time. Under the League rules, this ball must be used in every championship game played by League clubs. It is made of the very best material, in accordance with the latest League requirements, and every ball warranted to last a game of nine innings, without ripping or losing its shape. Beware of cheap imitations; none genuine without our trade mark on each box and ball.
"Spalding's Trade Marked Bats" are used by all the prominent professional and amateur players. They are made out of thoroughly seasoned timber, on the latest and most approved models, and are everywhere recognized as the best in the market.
