Reach Guide Is
Out; Season's On
The 1916 Reach American
League Guide—the official hand
book of the great major league
presided over by famous Ban
Johnson—has just made Its ever
welcome appearance, thus usher
ing In one more baseball season:
a function which It has fulfilled
each spring for 34 consecutive
years.
This long continuation of pub
lication alone has served to make
the Reach Guide the standard an
nual publication of the baseball
world, without considering the
merits of the contents of tho
book, which is edited by Francis
C. Richter, the veteran baseball
writer and authority.
This year the Guide has been
rearranged, being grouped into
four distinct sections, a method
that makes it especially easy t.
search out matters of reference
and record. Probably of equal
importance with the new arrange
ment is the article dealing with
the settlement of the baseball war
and the return of tha sport to; Its
old stable basis. i

that the other companies need
someone to cut out the "rough

believe that the photoplays should
