Foreword Ever since graded apparatus work has been used in gymnastics, the necessity of having a mass drill that would harmonize with it has been felt. For years it has been the established custom in most gymnas- iums of memorizing a set drill, never varied from one year's end to another. Consequently the beginner was given the same kind and amount of work as the older member. Most systems and instructors have recognized the need of, and some have taught, exercises of a progressive nature. The most systematic of these, however, have not been adapted to the needs of our modern gymnastic class work movement, nor have they been largely adopted. With a view to giving uniformity the present treatise is attempted. There is no desire to accept credit for creating anything new, recognizing that in all advance there is an evolutionary process with stages of growth so minute as to preclude any credit of originality. The only credit desired is for the work of collecting and giving to the public the results of this process. It must not be forgotten, however, to give credit to those who give directions and stimulus to our efforts. In the present case the writer wishes to give credit to Mr. George W. Ehler, with whom he was associated for many years, who made a care- ful study of the Swedish system and used an excellent calis- thenic modification adapted to the needs of the largest gymnas- ium membership in the country. He was often urged to perfect and publish this, but his many duties prevented his doing so. Feeling the value of the work, permission was obtained to put it into print that others might receive the benefit. The following is a still further modification and amplifica- tion of his work. Perfection is not claimed for it. This is left for future workers ; the present production is merely an attempt FIG. 1. ATTENTION. FIG. 2. WALK-STAND. Spalding' s Athletic Library. 7 to give a rational, practical, systematic, suggestive scheme of exercises, graded in character, that may be used with profit in individual as well as mass class work. It is not exhaustive. There is a book in French whose evident purpose is to give all possible movements of the body. This is valueless for our present purpose. Again, the Germans, famous for system and headwork, spare no pains in making drill after drill whose primary object seems to be to make something pretty and in- tricate, while the work of the Swedes smacks too much of the clinic to be used as it is. There is no desire to discount or speak ill of any of these so- called systems. They all have great value, but there is as yet nothing that contains their excellent features and at the same time meets the needs of that distinctly peculiar type of man, the American. The enthusiasm and vigor of the Roberts drill has been duly recognized by its widespread use, yet it does not contain the further necessary element of progression. The present work seeks to combine the physiological principles of the Swedes, the variety of the Germans, and the enthusiasm of the Americans. Necessarily, it is not a complete system of physical education, but only a factor. The great value of the much-used "resistance exercises" are duly appreciated, but these find little or no place in mass class drill. The following drill is not only progressive but elastic; it tells the whole story at a glance and yet is resourceful. If a set drill is desired, accompanied by music or for exhibition purposes, it is there, and requires but a few moments of the director's time tO' collect. But it is now conceded that the best plan for everyday use is movement by command. There is an important feature that finds no type in this drill, but which no director can afford to miss, namely, breathing exer- cises. Yet this is left to the common sense of the director. To tell a man when and how to breathe is much like telling him when and how to let his heart beat. This one advice : Let the class perforrn breathing exercises often, with or without arm FIG. 3.

This is not a complete system for all muscles of the body. For example, there are no special movements for the muscles of the forearm, such as finger grip and extension, wrist shake, etc. If it is desired these may be introduced in connection with thrusts or any combination which includes arm move- ments. The same may be said of forearm flexion. If one uses this drill alone and wishes work for all muscles, he may include them, but since the primary purpose of this drill is to use it in connection with other gymnastic apparatus, it will be readily seen that these muscles are largely used in such apparatus work and receive their best development in that connection. Concerning the Order of Giving the Movements in Class. This is a subject well worth careful consideration. The Swedes have developed a scheme called "day's order," which refers to the order of giving various exercises. They claim that experi- ence has shown them that the order they use produces the best results. Without wishing to reflect discredit upon their experience it is only necessary to say that 'other workers have had experience with just as good results without following their "day's order." It is left to the discretion of the director to select the order, in view of his experience and physiological knowledge. Some give exercises of the same type in succession, inter- spersed with plenty of breathing exercises and percussion, while others give a light, easy exercise alternately with a vigorous, difficult one. Either of these methods result in good. Command and Count. The command should be short and distinct. Much depends upon the tone as to how the exercise is executed. A sharp, quick, forceful command is usually followed by the same kind of exercise. FIG. 5. ARCH WALK STAND. FIG. 6. FORWARD TOE TOUCH. Spalding s Athletic Library. il There is no need of giving to all movements the same num- ber of count. Easy exercises naturally require more and diffi- cult ones less counts, except in case a set drill to music or for exhibition is desired. It has been found valuable to count to a certain number and then back to one, e. g., one, two, three, four ; four, three, two, one. By means of this method the class will be less likely to forget the count and continue the exercise. Often it is desirable to have the class itself count loudly for the sake of enthusiasm. How TO Get the Class on and Off the Floor. There are many ways now used for getting the class in posi- tion for the mass drill. To facilitate matters, the floor is often marked with spots. The method of laying out these spots de- pends upon the space and the number in classes. If the classes are crowded the spots may be marked out in the diamond shape, six feet between spots, but if there is plenty of space a diamond of seven or eight feet may be used. These spots are sometimes painted on the floor about the size of a silver dollar, or small metal discs may be inlaid and screwed to the floor. If the spots are used the following methods may be used to get the class on the floor. 1. The Scramble. — When the bell rings for class formation, each gymnast hastily seizes his bell and takes his place on any of the unoccupied spots. This is a good method where time is an important factor. The dismissal to replace bells or other light apparatus may also be made in this manner. 2. The Line Up. — There are several good methods of a more orderly character than the scramble, if time permits. In one method one of the leaders takes his place at one cor- ner of the gymnasium "facing in." Each of the class in turn falls in line in same attitude. (See frontispiece. Fig. A.) Another method is to "fall in" in column of file with or with- out extended arms on the shoulders of the one in front. Then at command "Front" the class face the director. (See frontis- piece, Fig. B.) In either of these two methods, if the class extends only FIG. 7. FORWARD CHARGE. FIG. 8. CROSS CHARGE. Spalding' s Athletic Library. 13 across one side of the gymnasium, the command may be given to count off by fours, fives, sixes, etc., depending upon the width of the gymnasium, and then "open order" by causing "ones" to march a certain number of paces, "twos" two paces less, "threes" two paces behind "twos," etc. Then they may be "faced" in any direction convenient to the director. This is the simplest "order method." Another simple method is to have them form and count off as in above, then "right face," so as to be in column of file. Then if, for example, the count off has been by sixes, the com- mand is given: "Sixes column left — march"; or, if it is pre- ferred, "Sixes right — march," at which the sixes wheel into col- umns of six. A more elaborate method, which is much in use, is to count off by sixes, for example, "right face," march in file until the first six comes across the further end of the gymnasium. Then the command, "First six by the left flank — march." Each six in turn perform the same maneuver, each line of sixes stopping six feet back of the one in front. When the command is given to "open order," the members side step to right or left six feet apart. In case the floor is marked with spots the sixes may open order before doing the "by the left flank — march," at the further end of the gymnasium. To Get the Class Off the Floor. The scramble method may be used in this case also, where time is an important consideration. Of the formal methods, lines may close to front and march in files in succession, or the lines may face right or left, close and march in files as before. If the class is small the "Sixes right" (or left) may be exe- cuted into line. When to Give the Drill in Class Work. The custom heretofore has been to start the class work with the drill, followed by apparatus work and games. This is not desirable, since the drill is so much more vigor- FIG. 9. FRONT LEANING-REST. FIG. 10. BACK LEANING-REST. FIG. 11. SIDE LEANING-REST. Spalding's Athletic Library. 15 ous than the r.pparatns work that pupils often take cold during the latter. A better plan is to have the class quickly "fall in" in column (see frontispiece, Fig. B) and give about five minutes of light rapid work of any movements that may be done to the side so as not to interfere with pupils in front or rear. Follow this "warm- ing up" with apparatus work, then the dumb bell drill, then a class run, and close with recreative games. How Often to Change Drill. According to this method of grading it is best to continue each drill f-om two to four weeks before changing to next one. Examinations. It is desirable in a graded system of gymnastics, either in schools, colleges, Y.M.C.A.'s and clubs that pretend to do more than haphazard work, to hold examinations at stated times, usually at the end of the season's work. The method of con- ducting such an examination in calisthenics is to have the di- rector deploy the class in positions for exercising. Then sta- tion a judge for each four members in such a position that he can watch all their movements. The director gives the com- mand for each movement, but does not demonstrate how it is to be done, or if they are being examined on a "set drill" he merely gives them the command for starting. The examination may then consist of any of the graded drills given during the season's work or an entirely new combination of movements, but using no commands not used in the season's work. The best method, however, is to examine on the last drill given to the class. The judges should be members of the class who are acquainted with the drill. They can be given their examination at some other time. They should have a large sheet of paper with the names of the men well apart. This they hold up in line with the four men and without taking their eyes from the men. should, whenever one makes a mistake, either in time or form, make a dot with a pencil below his name, each dot to represent a cer- Spalding's Athletic Library. 1 7 tain number of points against the man who made it, deter- mined upon beforehand in accordance with the gravity of the offense. For example: A drill is given with ten different exercises and each exercise has ten movements or comits. If the con- testant misses one movement one dot might be put down, which might represent i per cent, on the basis of say lOO per cent, for a perfect drill. Bad form would represent i per cent, for each movement, so that if one entire exercise were done in bad form ID per cent, would be deducted from the standing. There are other good methods of marking, but this is a sug- gestion. "A word to the wise is sufficient." Note. — The photographs reproduced in this work were made by George H. Walden, Rochester, N.

(a) Calisthenics comprise all exercises with movable hand apparatus and all exercises without apparatus, except — (b) Clas" Evolutions , which comprise all kinds of marching and running in class. B. The Boay is divided for convenience as follows: (a) trunk; (b) head; (c) upper limbs — arm (shoulder to elbow), forearm (elbow to wrist), hand (wrist to fingers) ; (d) lower limbs — thigh (hip to knee) , leg (knee to ankle) , foot. C. Axes and Planes. Three axes and three planes are con- sidered: (a) The Vertical Axis corresponds to the spinal column in whatever position. (b) The Horizofiial Axis corresponds with or is parallel to a line drawn through the shoulders at right angles to the ver- tical axis. (c) The Antero-Posterior Axis corresponds with or is paral- lel to a line drawn from front to back at right angles to the vertical and horizontal axes. (d) The Lateral Plane contains the vertical and horizontal axes. (e) The Antero-Posterior Plane contains the vertical and antero-posterior axes. (f) The Horizontal Plane contains the antero-posterior and the horizontal axes. FIG. IG. AKMS VERTICAL. FIG. 17. HEAD CLASP. Spalding's Athletic Library. 21 D. (a) Abdtiction is a movement away from the median line of the antero-posterior plane; or, in case of the lingers, away from the median line of the hand. Example: Thigh ab- duction. (See Fig. 27.) (b) Adduction is a movement toward or across the median line of the antero-posterior plane. (Fig. 28.) (c) Circimiduction is a movement of any member in which the tip of the member describes a circle, the member itself, up to the centre of motion describing a cone. The term circle is used interchangeably with circmnduction in move- ments of the limbs. (Fig. 36.) (d) Flexion is a bending of one of the extremities in the di- rection in which the moving parts can be most closely approximated. In gymnastic use, flexion means that the limb is bent to the fullest extent. The term flexion is used when the trunk is the centre of motion aud the limb moves toward it. Example: Raising the thigh is a flexion. (See Fig. 25.) (e) Half flexion, the limb is moved 90 degrees. (f ) The term Bend is used when the limb is the centre of motion and the trunk moves. (Example: A forward movement of the body from th : hips.) [Fig. 39.] (g) Extension is the reverse of flexion and bend. (Fig. 2^.) (h) Rotation is the turning of the body or any part of it upon its own axis. (Synonym: Torsion, twisting.^ [Figs. 20 and 22a.] E. Direction. All exercises, unless otherwise directed, should be done to the left first, and when the limbs perform separ- ate movements, the first named shall be done to the left. F. Positions and Commands. Names are given to positions; commands are given to show how to arrive at the position. In many cases, after the preliminary instruction, the name of the position may serve as the command for taking such position. (Example: ''Stride — stand — Left foot sidewise — Place!" becomes later, "Stride— Stand! ") II. POSITIONS. I. Of the Body and Lower Limbs. — Spalding s Athletic Library. ^^ (a) Attention. The position of the soldier, as given in United States Infantry Drill Regulations, except that the feet are at angle of 90 degrees. At the command "atten- tion" given at any time, this position is to be assumed. (See Fig. i.) The position of a wand or bar-bell at "at- tention" is with arms down, bar across thighs, hands grasping it with palms toward body and dividing into thirds. (b) Stand. Position as in "attention," except that arms may be in any position. At command to assume "stand," heels are brought together, but arms are kept in position held at the time. (c) Walk— Stand. Either foot is two lengths of itself in front of the other, from heel to heel, both legs extended, and supporting body equally, foot making angle of 90 degrees. (See Fig. 2.) (d) Stride— Stand. Heels are two lengths of foot apart laterally, legs extended and supporting body equally, feet at an angle of 90 degrees. (See Fig. 3.) (e) Stoop— Stand. Legs are in "attention," trunk bent for- ward at hips about 30 degrees, back straight, chest out, chin in. Combining this trunk position with (c) and (d) gives " Stoop— Walk— Stand " and " Stoop— Stride- Stand." (See Fig. 4-) (f) Arch— Stand. (Also Arch— Walk or Arch— Stride- Stand.) Head and upper back bent back to fullest extent. (See Fig. 5). (g) Toe— Touch. One foot is advanced in direction indi- cated, foot extended, toes touching floor, other foot in place and supporting entire weight of body. (See Fig. 6.) (h) Charge. One foot is advanced in direction indicated three foot lengths, knee bent and directly over the instep. The outer foot is in place, knee straight. Most of weight is on advanced foot. The angle of feet remains at 90 de- grees, body erect on hips and facing front. (See Fig. 7.) (i) Lunge. This is as in the charge, except that the moving foot is advanced as far as possible. The direction of a Toe- Touch, Charge, or Lunge may be as follows: Forward, forward oblique, side, rear oblique, rear, or cross. Spalding's Athletic Library. Forward 25 Left oblique Left sideways Left rear obli(iiie Right oblique Right sideways Right rear oblique Rear (j) Cross-Charge, Toe-Touch, or Lunge is a movement of either leg in manner indicated, to the oblique or rear ob- lique of opposite sides. (See Fig. 8.) (k) Leaning — Rest. Body supported by hands and feet, limbs all straight, thighs extended. (i) Front — Leaning — Rest is when body faces downward. (See Fig. 9.) (2) Back — Leaning — Rest is when body faces upward. (See Fig. 10). (3) Side — Leaning — Rest is when the side of body is toward the floor. The body may be supported on one or both arms — one unless otherwise indicated. (See Fig. 11.) (1) Squat. The body is lowered by bending knees and hips, back hollow; knees pointing same direction as feet. Quarter and Half Squat— Heels are kept on floor unless otherwise directed. Tull Squat — Heels are raised. (See Fig. 12.) (m) Squat — Rest. Squat with hands resting on floor, body inclined forward, arms between knees. (See Fig. 13.) Of Upper Limbs. — (a) Horizontal, level with the shoulders (front, front ob- Forearm, hand, and fingers ex- unless otherwise directed. (See lique, side, rear oblique), tended, with palms down Figs. 14 and 15.) (b) Vertical, arms up, forearms, hands and fingers extended, with palms inward, unless otherwise directed.

(c) Head Clasp, hands clasped high on back of head; elbows back as far as possible. (See Fig. 17.) III. MOVEAIENTS. I. Of Body.— (a) Turns, used in reference to rotations about the vertical axis. (i) Right Turfis, in the direction in which the hands of a clock move, the clock regarded as on the floor, face up. (If the body is brought into a position in which the head is downward, the clock shall be regarded as still upon the floor.) Turns may be designated by fractions, as quarter, half, three-quarter, full or complete. Quarter right turn is equivalent to "right face" of military drill, half right turn to "about face." (2) Left Turns, the reverse of the above, (b) Circles. Rotation about horizontal or antero-posterior axis, (i) Circles about the horizontal axis in the antero-posterior plane. These are named with reference to a clock placed at the left side facing the body. Circles in the direction of the motion of the clock hands are "front" or "forward" circles. When executed on the floor as a movement of progression, or correspondingly on apparatus (as the par- allel bars), these are called "forward rolls." Backward circles or rolls are in the opposite direction. "Somer- saults" are forward or backward circles, but are made in the air without support. (2) Circles about the antero-posterior axis and in the lateral plane are named from the motion of the clock hands placed in front of and facing the body. Right circles, with the hands; left, against the hands. (c) Bending, with the hips or waist as the centre of motion. Direction named as for charge, but always with reference to position of trunk. (See Figs. 5, 19 and 31.) Example: If trunk is rotated to right, a forward bend will be in direc' Spalding^ s Athletic Library. 29 tion trunk is facing. (See Fig. 18.) Foi^ward \s fhe only bend from the hips and is made with the spine straight. (See Fig. 19.) (d) Rotation, about the spinal column as an axis, feet remain stationary, hips firm. Direction, as for "turns."' (See Fig. 20.) (e) Circumduction, about the lumbar vertebrcC as a centre. Direction, as for "turns." (See Fig. 32.) 2. Of the Head.— (a) Bending. (See Figs. 21 and 22b.) (b) Rotation. (See Fig. 22a.) (c) Circumduction. (d) Projection and Retraction. Chin is kept at same level throughout. (See Fig. 2^^.) 3. Of Upper Limbs. — (a) Arm Circles.

(2) Right and Left, about antero-posterior axis in lateral plane, clock as in similar body circles. (3) Great Circles, arms move up in antero-posterior plane (sides to vertical), down to sides in lateral plane. Also vice versa. (b) Rotation, about the bones as axes. The whole limb, or the forearm along, may be rotated. (c) Flexion, complete bending at elbow, wrist or finger joints. Forearm, hands or fingers may be flexed. (i) Arms down, forearms may be flexed forward or side- ward. (See Fig. 24.) (2) Arms at side horizontal, forearms may be flexed forward, downward and upward. (3) Arms at front horizontal, forearms may be flexed inward (right to left and vice versa) and upward. (4) Arms at vertical, forearms may be flexed backward and inward.

The writer might have continued the process of enlarging one step further by indicating the various leg movements, body move- ments, body and leg movements, etc., wherever they appear in the above drill; but this would make the drill rather cum.bersome. It is left to the reader's discretion to supply the desirable ones for each combination, and it is here that the director's judgment is brought into play. 54 Spaldjjigs' Athletic Library. Explanation of Drill I. CORRECTIVE FREE WORK. 1. The thrusts to front horizontal are executed from position with hands at side of chest, as far back as they can be held, with fingers clenched and palms either up or facing each other. (Fig. 38, b.) The starting position of the arms in the side and vertical thrusts is with the elbows back and down, the clenched hands side of shoulders facing each other. (Fig. 38, a). All thrusting movements must be executed strongly and vigor- ously, but not jerky. The emphasis must be made in returning to position with hands next to chest or shoulders. This should be insisted upon, for otherwise there is little benefit to be derived from this movement. It is not expected that the most difficult combinations will be used in the "corrective free work." These are best reserved for the "body movements" with combinations. The movements here are to be light, easy, and of a char- acter to correct defective carriage of the body. An example will show this: It is possible to thrust to vertical while squatting with right leg, at same time abducting left thigh and rotating body with forward bend; yet it is not desirable to perform this exercise in connec- tion with "Corrective free work." Be content with simpler combinations even though repetition is necessary. It will be noted that extension and flexion of fingers (grip) may be performed to good advantage with the thrusts. 2. In performing the neck movements the hands are placed on the forehead in the forward bend; on the side of the head on the side bend; and are clasped back of the head with elbows well back, on the backward bend, as well as in project and retract. They may or may not be placed on the sides of the head in the Spalding's Athletic Library. 55 rotate and circumduct. In any case the resistance should be strong enough to bring the muscles strongly into action. 3. The arm swings should be done strongly in both directions, but more especially in all upward and backward movements. In the "forward up swing" the fingers are extended, palms facing. In the " side up" the palms face each other both on the start and finish. (Figs. 33-35.) The circles are made with arms freely extended and are per- formed both in the same or opposite directions. Both may be done together or alternately. 4. The hip bend refers to a forward bend at the hips only. The spine is kept straight, chest out, shoulders back and down. It is desirable in this exercise to keep the eyes fixed on some object on the wall in front in order to prevent drooping of head and shoulders. (Fig. 19.) 5. In the side bend one should avoid moving the head from side to side. The legs and hips are stationary except in combinations with body and leg movements. The extended position of the spine should also be maintained. (Fig. 31.) 6. The arch bend refers to a backward bend. In performing this movement the neck should first be bent well back in the backward bend and in returning to erect position the neck is first bent forward. (Fig. 5.) II. MOVEMENTS OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES. 1. The charge and lunge are so much alike that they are treated together. In a progressive series of drills for a season's work, it is desirable to give the charges in the beginning and the lunges in the latter part of the season. The directions and posi- tions of feet in the charges are described in the nomenclature (p. 25). A common error in the charges is to keep the body and head from moving with the charging leg. For accepted position of charge see Fig. 7. 2, Leg movements in the Stand. Under this head are collected such exercises of the lower ex- tremities as do not naturally come under any one of the other 56 Spalding' s Athletic Library. groups. Since they are less vigorous, they naturally are placed not far from the beginning. The movements should be made to their fullest extent. (Figs. 25, 26, 2-] , 30, zi-) {Note.— It was not possible to show the fullest extent of these exercises in photographs, since the positions could not be maintained.) 3. The hopping exercises are done "on the spot" or with fancy steps of limited space. The movement is executed lightly on the ball of the feet with the knees slightly bent. 4. In performing the half squat the feet are kept flat. (See Fig. 12b.) In the full squat the heels are raised, and the spine is erect, ex- cept in body movements. (See Fig. 12a.) The squat-rest position is the full squat with palms of hands on floor. (See Fig. 13.) 5. The jumping exercises are made upon the ball of the feet. They are among the most violent exercises of the drill and should therefore be done slowly and only a few times. Especially is this true of the upward jumps. The remainder may be done mode- rately fast. 6. Running exercises may be performed when one uses this drill in a limited space, but are superfluous in a gymnasium where one may run on a track properly. III. SITTING OR LYING DOWN EXERCISES. Are preferably done on mats, but in large classes are done upon the floor. These are among the most important exercises of the drill since they bring into play muscles that are not much used by the average man. Their activity afifects strongly the vital functions. (Figs. 41—45.) IV. LEANING REST (Figs. 9— n.) Exercises in the leaning-rest are of limited number and benefit. The method of obtaining the front leaning-rest position from the stand, is by either first obtaining the squat-rest and then extend legs, or by falling forward to front leaning-rest with arms bent. The side and back leaning positions are obtained from the front position. All leaning positions may be obtained from the lying Spalding s Athletic Library. 57 positions and may be incorporated in connection with them, if they are used at all. V. BODY BENDING AND ROTATING. This series includes body bending, rotating, and circumducting exercises of a very important and varied nature. 1. In the forward bending exercises the knees are bent as the arms swing well down between them. (Fig. 39.) In the charging combinations of this exercise, only the charging leg is bent. 2. Rotation, rotation and bend, and bend and rotation exercises are self explanatory. A distinction should be noted between bend and rotation from rotation and bend. (Figs. 18, 22, 40). 3. The circumduct should be done alternately left and right so as to avoid dizziness. (Fig. 32.) VI. BALANCE. Balancing exercises furnish desirable and important addition to mass class work. Each position should be held several seconds. 1. In the forward bend with thigh extended the hips should be held horizontal, neck extended. The knee of the leg upon which the balance is made is flexed enough to permit a horizontal posi- tion of body and other leg. (See Fig. 46.) 2. In the side bend with thigh abducted, the body and leg should be horizontal and the balancing leg should not be bent. (See Fig. 47.) 3. The backward bend with thigh flexed can be done only to a limited degree. The neck should be held well back. 4. The remaining balance positions are self explanatory. (Fig. 12a, 48, 49.) 58 Spalding' s Athletic Library. Sample Graded Drills The six drills that follow are samples of a graded series of drills all derived from the previous outline, and may be used as they are or modified by each director. It is adviced that each director make up his own series. It will be seen that each drill is more vigorous than its predecessor, but it should be understood that drill No. 6 is not the Climax, but each director may continue making drills from these samples in ever increasing vigor and complication.

The highest award that can be given in the World's Fair at St. Louis— and there can only be fifteen of them in all— has been made to A. G. Spalding & Bros, from the Department of Physical Culture of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. It is a special award, consisting of a gold medal, which is given in each depart- ment for the best, most complete and most attractive installation, and this special award has been given to A. G. Spalding & Bros, for its fully equipped gymnasium, which was in- stalled in the gymnasium building of Wash- ington University; also for its model gymna- sium as installed in the model playground in the model street, as well as for its complete exhibit of athletic supplies that were installed in the gymnasium. A. G. Spalding & Bros, also received the Grand Prize for its display of athletic goods and paraphernalia for all sports and pastimes. This is more than praiseworthy from the fact that the superior jury only awarded one grand prize in the department to an ex- hibitor of athletic goods. A. G. Spalding & Bros, naturally feel pleased at this finding, owing to the fact that many foreign countries exhibited— another illustration of the progress of American manufacturers.

London, England THE SPALDING PATENT STRIKING BAG This bag will swing true because it is built that way. It cannot make a false move, no matter how hard it is hit. No loop to interfere with rope, and the most certain in its action of any on the market. It is made with a lace running around the neck, like a draw-string. Inflate the bladder, drop the wooden ball into the open- ing at the top and pull the lace tight; then regulate the length of the rope and fit bag to your platform. The idea has met with such general approval that we are now making our entire line on the same principle. No. 19. Made of highest quality Patna kid, the lightest and strong- est of leather.

Spalding's ^^^ Running , Shoes ^ We believe, in this shoe all the various difficulties ex- perienced in manufacturing a satisfactory running shoe in the past have been overcome. First of all, you have here a shoe in which the spikes cannot by any possibil- ity come in contact with the foot; then you have a rub- ber sole that is an assistance, in that it is partly under- neath the spike, and therefore acts in the nature of a cushion. Above all, our patented principle in this shoe enables us to place the spikes so that they will not come loose after being wet, as water has no effect on the rubber sole. We also claim that on account of the non-slippable purchase a runner obtains with this sole, he is able to make a quicker start than is possible with a shoe of ordinary construc- tion, and this fact has been demonstrated conclusively by those who have already tried our shoe and who pronounce it perfect in all respects.

New York City, Borough of Brooklyn. The games described in this book are intended for use at recesses, and all but the team games have been adapted to large classes. While it is desirable that all the players should have a maximum of physical activity, it has been found that some games, which keep only a few of the players run- ning at once, are of important service for mental hygiene, through their power of holding the voluntary attention.
