“It will be seen that here is material of much value. Of necessity it is largely provisional material. The world is far from having settled down. Much that is contained in this volume will fast become obsolete, and indeed some is already obsolete. None the less the student will turn with interest to this helpful collection, and will find in it much that would otherwise be difficult of access.” F. W. Taussig

“The book easily contains as much important information as almost any other half-dozen books together, covering the whole or part of the same field. There are no conspicuous lacunae, and the matter is well presented, is supported by adequate statistical data, and is largely free from unnecessary verbiage or conspicuous national bias. Where the author attempts economic analysis of the facts he presents, he attains only a mediocre degree of success.” Jacob Viner

“Basket ball and indoor baseball for women are two games that are rapidly growing in popularity. The book under review fills a long-felt need in that it sets forth the principles of successfully playing these games. Experts have here given the gleanings of their long experiences. They have included sixteen illustrations and thirty-seven diagrams, making clear the different points in the game of basket ball. Twelve illustrations and thirteen diagrams are used in making plain the crucial principles of indoor baseball. Such topics as passing, catching, guarding, shooting, team play, and signals are taken up in connection with basket ball. Fielding, throwing, catching, batting, base running, team play, practice, and signals are discussed in that portion dealing with indoor baseball.”—School R
