first in the field, thus
it the harbinger of the bail
season. It can be said without
any qualification that, excellent
as all of the editions of the
Reach Guide have been in recent
years, the 1909 Reach Guide i-
the best hand book of the kind
ever issued by this or any other
publisher. The special
of the 1909 Guide is, next to
the text, quality of paper used
and the number and beauty of
the engravings furnished, the
world's championship series
being specially well dowered
with action pictures.
The American League Guide

class hand book of the National
game and a decided credit to the
American League and to
publishers, Reach Company.
This is the eighth annual issue
of the Reach Guide as the official
hand booK of the American
League, and the twenty-seventh
consecutive year of its
as a book of record and
reference tor the entire base
