SPALDING IMPROVED MEDICINE BALLS
An excellent form of exercise for business men
Weigh from four to eleven pounds. The covering is of selected tan leather, sewn in the same manner as our foot balls. Quality throughout has been much improved and the balls as now made are extremely durable. The exercise consists of throwing ball to one another, and the catching of it develops the chest, exercises the back, arms, legs; in fact, improves the whole system.

“One of the aims of
physical training is to
make exercise interesting
and enjoyable. To be
beneficial in the highest
sense it must be recreative.
Particularly is this
true of physical exercise
for business men. As a
class, in their daily work,
they are kept on a constant
mental strain. Besides,
they are, to a large
degree, physically inactive.
Life becomes too
intense, too serious, too
sordid. Exercise therefore,
for business men,
must be largely recreative,
relaxing and restful.”—Extract
from Spalding
Athletic Library, No. 262—“Exercises
with the
Medicine Ball.”
Hand ball, played indoors, will keep base ball players and other athletes in good condition during hard weather when outdoor athletics are out of the question.
The leather covered hand balls we make are wound by hand, and are the same as
those used by the best ball players in this country.
