As a result of careful study and experiment I have perfected a mechanical device that will enable any intelligent amateur pitcher, with a very little practice, to discount the best professional in existence in the matter of curves. It is neatly constructed on _scientific_ principles and is a marvel of simplicity. It is so small that no one will notice it and the batsmen will wonder where those #Awful# curves come from. The pitcher who uses one of these "Curvers" has the opposing team completely at his mercy. It is worth $10 to any pitcher, but I will send it, postpaid, to any address, on receipt of 25 cents in _cash_ or 30 cents in _stamps_. Send for one _without delay_. Write plainly. Wrap coin in paper. For any of the above, address,
N. B.--Order all goods direct from me if you desire to get a premium. _Don't forget it_.
Without a doubt the most practical book ever written which illustrates and tells distinctly how any one can become an expert ball player.
Especially adapted for College Players, Amateurs and Semi-professionals. It describes the proper way to field, hints to batteries, how to become a good catcher, how to play first base, second base, and third base, also a special chapter for fielders. The articles in relation to batting, both individual and team, are the best ever written. The book contains many accurate illustrations, showing what positions to assume when at the bat, when in the field and in the pitcher's box.
Probably no man in America is more qualified to write on this subject than Arthur Irwin of the Philadelphia League Club and Coacher of the University of Pennsylvania.
