ATHLETIC CLOTHING.
Our facilities for manufacturing Base Ball, Cricket, Lawn Tennis, Boating, Bicycle and all other styles of Uniforms for athletic and sporting purposes, are unequaled.
In this department we employ both at Chicago and New York a thoroughly practical and scientific cutter, one who is fully capable of making fine clothing for ordinary wear, but is especially educated in the cutting of Athletic Clothing. We would urge clubs not to make the mistake of entrusting the making of their uniforms to local dealers, whose experience in this kind of work is necessarily limited.

GRAY'S Patent Body Protector.
We now have the sole agency for this most useful device ever invented for the protection of catchers or umpires This body protector renders it impossible for the catcher to be injured while playing close to the batter. It is made of best rubber and inflated with air, and is very light and pliable, and does not interfere in any way with the movement of the wearer, either in turning, stooping or throwing. No catcher should be without one of these protectors. When not in use the air can be let out, and the protector rolled in a very small space.

SPALDING'S SCORE BOOK
Spalding's Pocket and Club Score Book continues to be the popular score book, and is used by all the leading scorers and base ball reporters. They are adapted for the spectator of ball games, who scores for his own amusement, as well as the official club scorer, who records the minutest detail. By this system, the art of scoring can be acquired in a single game.
Full instructions, with the latest League rules, accompany each book.
The above represents a page in our Score Book, greatly reduced. The diamond in the center of the square represents the base ball field. The home base is at the bottom of diamond, the first base at right side, etc. The spaces in each corner of the square are intended to be used in scoring whatever may have happened to batter or base runner on the line between the two bases forming a boundary of said space.

SPALDING'S WAGON TONGUE BATS
Are made of the finest straight grained, well seasoned, second growth Ash Sticks. All timber must be seasoned at least two years, and free from knots or imperfections. They are pronounced superior to anything, in the way of a bat, ever brought out, both as to quality of timber, model and finish. Special attention is called to the "Oriental Finish" put on these bats which enables the batter to get a firm grip and renders the custom of scraping the bat unnecessary. They are made from models of the actual bats used by the most skillful batters in the League and Association. These bats were used last year by all the prominent batters in the leading Leagues and during the World's Series nine-tenths of the bats on the field were WAGON TONGUE BRAND. Beware of cheap imitations, the only genuine WAGON TONGUE BAT has our TRADEMARK; all others are counterfeits. These bats are intended especially for Professional Players, and we urge Club Managers to place their orders as early as possible, to insure a supply, as the quantity made is necessarily limited.
PRICE TO CLUBS: Per Doz. $10.00. Each. $1.00.
