Description
New York: American Sports Publishing Co., 1911 First edition. Publisher's red, white and blue pictorial wrappers, with batter to front wrapper. Good or better, with light chipping to spine ends, some soiling to wrappers, and light spotting to top edge of text block. Overall, a solid copy. This guide covers the 1910 baseball season, which ended with the Philadelphia Athletics defeating the Chicago Cubs four games to one to win the World Series. Some of the many important baseball figures photographed throughout the guide are Eddie Collins and Nap Lajoie (p. 28), Ty Cobb (p. 24), and Connie Mack (p. 14). Spalding's Official Base Ball Record was published from 1908 to 1924 (from 1926 to 1932, the publication's name was changed to the Little Red Book). The first issue was edited by the "Father of Baseball," Henry Chadwick. The legendary baseball figure passed away in 1908, and longtime sportswriter John B. Foster took over editorial duties. The preface to the 1909 issue includes a description of the Record guide and Spalding's aims in producing it: "While the Record is primarily a statistical resume of the past season in the professional arena, it also contains a wealth of information that has heretofore been practically inaccessible to Base Ball lovers, and with the addition of new records and previously unchronicled events, that will be compiled from year to year, it is the ambition of the publishers to attain for the Record in its field the same eminence that is now occupied by the Spalding Guide as the recognized authority on the National Game.". First Edition. Original Wraps. Good.

JOHN WILSON CROKER (1780-1857). Croker was a British statesman and writer.LS. 3pg. 8 x 12. August 31, 1824. Admiralty Office. A letter signed J W Croker to Thomas Aspinwall, the American consul in England. Croker, then the First Secretary to the Admiralty, wrote: the case of William Long, said to be an American, serving on Board His Majestys Ship Gloucester, I have their Lordships Commands to acquaint you, in reference to your letter of the 23rd Ulto., that as this Mans discharge is asked on private grounds, & as it is admitted that he volunteered into the British service, & if he be not a British Subject, did fraudulently represent himself to be such, my Lords do not think it would be proper to discharge him at his own request or that of those acting for him, but they think it right to add that if the United States were at War with any power & required the services of her citizens, they would in that case have discharged the man supposing him to be what he has latterly represented himself. The letter has mailing folds and is in fine condition.
