Excerpt from The Book of Athletics, Out-of-Door Sports: Containing Practical Advice and Suggestions From College Team-Captains and Other Amateurs, on Foot-Ball, Base-Ball, Tennis, Rowing, Golf, Sprinting, Bicycling, Swimming, Skating, Yachting, Etc<br><br>In compiling this "Book of Athletics," no attempt has been made to produce an exhaustive treatise on every branch of sport now popular with the boys and girls of America. The design has been, rather, to give to those who are interested in, and have some knowledge of, the principal out-of-door sports the benefit of the experience and observation of those who have spent considerable time in their pursuit. Discussions which would be intelligible and of interest only to experts, as well as definitions and descriptions for the benefit of the wholly uninitiated, have been generally avoided.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
