Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Following the Ball For the instruction in kicking, in Chapter XXII, the writer owes much to Mr. Percy D. Haughton, of the Harvard coaching staff, an acknowledged master of the theory and practice of punting. Mr. Haughton has kindly read the proof and made very wel come suggestions. While football has a prominent place in the story, the writer's object is something far beyond a mere glorification of sport. In the development of the schoolboy's char acter and ability, a school brings many forces to bear, some through books and teachers, others through the life and spirit and interests of the students themselves. It is among these latter influences which are often powerful for good or ill that athletics play an important part.

Download or read book Pitching in a Pinch written by Christy Mathewson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside baseball memoir from the game’s first superstar, with a foreword by Chad Harbach Christy Mathewson was one of the most dominant pitchers ever to play baseball. Posthumously inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of the “Five Immortals,” he was an unstoppable force on the mound, winning at least twenty-two games for twelve straight seasons and pitching three complete-game shutouts in the 1905 World Series. Pitching in a Pinch, his witty and digestible book of baseball insights, stories, and wisdom, was first published over a hundred years ago and presents readers with Mathewson’s plainspoken perspective on the diamond of yore—on the players, the chances they took, the jinxes they believed in, and, most of all, their love of the game. Baseball fans will love to read first-hand accounts of the infamous Merkle’s Boner incident, Giants manager John McGraw, and the unstoppable Johnny Evers and to learn how much—and just how little—has really changed in a hundred years.

Download or read book Spalding s Official Base Ball Guide written by American Sports Publishing Company and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide: Forty-Third Year, 1919 Whatever may have been the mistakes of the control of Base Ball in the past, there never has been a mistake of sentiment. Organized Base Ball has tried to do its best. Many things had to be met and contended against. Above and over all, however, has been the love for the national game. Success was bound to bring rivalry; but the would be rivalry perhaps did not know all the details, and the troubles, and the privations which had to be undergone to achieve success. It is a fact, too, and one of the most interesting of all facts pertaining to the national game, that much if not allof the legislation adopted by its organization has been forced upon it by public sentiment. Local pride asks the best and nothing less, and the various elements that com bine to make. Local pride in a country as large as the United States, demand local protection. From that very source sprang first of all the desire to secure the best for the local Base Ball club; and, second to that, the stronger desire to protect the best of all for the local Base Ball club. In a way, Base Ball must enter upon an era that will be quite different in 1919, and the years that are to follow, from that which it was prior. The minor leagues have obtained a release to operate for themselves. New situa tions are bound to arise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There are many boys every year who have not the weight, nerve, or ability to play football, basket ball, or base ball; but they might make good in tract events. NO boy Should moan over the fact that he is too small or too slender for football; he may be able to run or jump, and thus do something for his school, and win his Q. Very little interest is shown in the inter-class meets which are held every spring; little, if any, practise in preparation for the meet is held.
