The rarest of all the Chadwick books. Paper cardboard covers and original spine. The book has clearly defined rules and suggested strategies for play. Also has statistics and reports from key cricket matches. Even has an in-depth analysis of the players on various cricket clubs. Features mostly cricket, but also has a section on LaCrosse. Chadwick, sometimes called the "Father of Baseball," became famous as a baseball writer, and he is in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but came to baseball from cricket. Fully illustrated. Published by R.M. De Witt.
