#A Compliment to the Editor of The Guide.#
At the annual meeting of the National League, held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, on Nov. 15, 1894, on a motion made by C.H. Byrne, president of the Brooklyn club, Henry Chadwick, the veteran base ball writer, and editor of the League GUIDE since 1881, was, by a unanimous vote, made an honorary member of that body. This honor has been conferred upon but four other persons in the history of the League, namely: A.G. Mills, of New York, ex-President of the League; A.G. Spalding, of Chicago; George W. Howe, of Cleveland, and John B. Day, of New York. In presenting Mr. Chadwick's name Mr. Byrne spoke enthusiastically of the effective work the veteran had done for years in popularizing base ball, and called attention to the fact that Mr. Chadwick was the recognized authority in all matters pertaining to base ball, and to him more than any other individual living is due the credit for the present almost perfect code of rules governing the game.
The League subsequently appointed a committee, consisting of President N.E. Young, C.H. Byrne, of Brooklyn, and A.J. Reach, of Philadelphia, to prepare a proper address to Mr. Chadwick, and to have same engrossed and framed for presentation. The result of their official duty was an exceptionally handsome piece of engrossing, set in a gilt frame. A pastel portrait of Mr. Chadwick is in the centre of a decorative scroll on which is the following testimonial:
TheNATIONAL LEAGUE AND AMERICAN ASSOCIATIONofPROFESSIONAL BASE BALL CLUBS OF THE UNITED STATEStoHENRY CHADWICK.
At a regular annual meeting of the National League and AmericanAssociation of Professional Base Ball Clubs, held in New York City,November 15, 1894, all twelve clubs being present,
MR. HENRY CHADWICK,of Brooklyn, N. Y.,was by a unanimous vote elected anHONORARY MEMBERof this body.
In conferring this membership this organization pays the highest tribute in its power to one who, during a number of years almost as great as is usually alloted to man to live, has unselfishly devoted his time, his talents and his energies, by voice and pen, to establish BASE BALL as the NATIONAL GAME of America.
At all times and in all places he has diligently worked for its DEVELOPMENT, and battled for its INTEGRITY, its HONESTY and the PURITY of its methods.
He has been an unflinching foe of those within the ranks who permitted any stigma to attach to it and a gallant defender against any attack from without, touching its good name and fame. Always a devoted friend of the honest ball player, he has been a never-failing advocate of the rights of and the respect due the umpire. His advice and good offices most frequently sought have ever been readily given, and to the benefit and advantage of all.
We pay this tribute with pleasure and deference to
the father of base ball, who now in the full of his years and after a long life of usefulness to his fellow man, still lives to see the fruition of his fondest hopes, and base ball, which he has fostered and upheld, pleaded for and battled for, now established forevermore as our national game.

These four booksoughtto be read by every ball player in America. Although written for amateurs they are highly recommended by professionals. You can get more information from them in two hours of careful study than you can get from field practice in #Two Years#, and for a very little money, too. They are plain, practical, andscientific, and at their low price no player canaffordto be without them. Nearly 40,000 copies sold to date. Price, by mail, 15 cents each—the fourat one timefor 50 cents.Special discountsto clubs on receipt of stamp. Apremiumworth 50 cents givenfreeto everytenthpurchaser andalsotoeveryonewho orders the four books at one time. Order the four and get twice the value of your money.Read on!
As a result of careful study and experiment I have perfected a mechanical device that will enable any intelligent amateur pitcher, with a very little practice, to discount the best professional in existence in the matter of curves. It is neatly constructed onscientificprinciples and is a marvel of simplicity. It is so small that no one will notice it and the batsmen will wonder where those #Awful# curves come from. The pitcher who uses one of these "Curvers" has the opposing team completely at his mercy. It is worth $10 to any pitcher, but I will send it, postpaid, to any address, on receipt of 25 cents incashor 30 cents instamps. Send for onewithout delay. Write plainly. Wrap coin in paper. For any of the above, address,

By ARTHUR IRWIN.
Without a doubt the most practical book ever written which illustrates and tells distinctly how any one can become an expert ball player.
Especially adapted for College Players, Amateurs and Semi-professionals. It describes the proper way to field, hints to batteries, how to become a good catcher, how to play first base, second base, and third base, also a special chapter for fielders. The articles in relation to batting, both individual and team, are the best ever written. The book contains many accurate illustrations, showing what positions to assume when at the bat, when in the field and in the pitcher's box.
Probably no man in America is more qualified to write on this subject than Arthur Irwin of the Philadelphia League Club and Coacher of the University of Pennsylvania.
