Excerpt from Handbook of Athletic Games for Players, Instructors, and Spectators: Comprising Fifteen Major Ball Games, Track and Field Athletics and Rowing Races

This book is written for two classes of people: for those, first, who do not know the games represented, and who, either as teachers, players, officials, or spectators, want a clear, working description, and, second, for those who do know the games, but who need a ready reference, clearly classified, to rules and information for all parts of the play.
