Description:
Garden City: Doubleday, Page & Co, 1915. First Edition. Original Cloth. Very Good. pp: xvii, 248, (1); complete with frontispiece and three other plates. Bound in red cloth, gilt lettering on spine and cover, showing a pitcher's windup on the cover. 7.5" x 5" In his seven-page introduction, Connie Mack, then manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, tells of his friendship with author Needham who accompanied the A's on several Western game trips.
