Constitution and playing rules of the National league of professional base ball clubs . ng that our Trade-Mark stamped on all athletic goods which they buy, because without this precautionour best efforts towards maintaining Standard Quality and preventing fraudulentsubstitution will be ineffectual. Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of beinghigh-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and.,emphasized by makers of inferiorgoods, with whom low prices are the main consideration.
