Excerpt from The Art of Pitching and Fielding The revised edition of "The Art of Pitching and the Art of Fielding, " forming a part of Spalding's Library of Athletic Sports for 1886, contains a new departure alike in the form of publication and in the extent of the ground covered by the books. The new edition of the hand-books combines the works on pitching and fielding together in one volume of over two hundred pages, and the books on batting and base-running in another volume. To each work has been added the statistics of the past season showing the best average play in each department of the players of the National League, the American Association, the Eastern League and the Southern League. This first volume contains instructions in the art of pitching and fielding, and the revision given it by the author, has led to a decided improvement in both works. The series of two volumes containing the four works of instruction, should be in the hands of every member of a professional base hall team, while it will be found equally of advantage for the amateur class of the fraternity. These books will be revised each year, and all the new rules and new points will be added, as also the past season's records of best averages, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
