Fresh off the ignominious Black Sox debacle of 1919, baseball was suffering from a black eye as the 1920 season rolled around. But one would never detect a hint of scandal by the cover of the Draper & Maynard rulebook, which is in EX condition with wonderful graphics on the front and back covers. This particular publication features the original owner's name written on the first page. The pages contain baseball and lawn tennis rules along with ads for equipment and a full page with a team photo of the 1919 World Champion Cincinnati Reds.
