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.
