To develop any physical accomplishment through the medium of a printed treatise, though the novice possesses the requisite mental application and the physical ability, is, even when successful, a work of slow growth. Example is always more impressive than precept, its lessons more lasting. The ball player who essays to become a good batsman will be influenced to a greater extent by the teacher who himself does what he wants the player to do than by one who simply tells him what he should do. It is not claimed that a perusal of these few hints on scientific batting and fielding will make a successful player of the reader, but it is claimed, and confidently claimed, too, that the reader who carefully follows out the instructions herewith given will make more of his own natural ability, both for his own individual record and that of his club. A. A. I, Philadelphia, February,

Practical Ball Playing Classic Reprint Arthur A Irwin Books
Arthur Irwin writes a clear, precise instructional manual for the scientific method of playing base ball at the end of the 19th century. Irwin gives fundamental training for batting, fielding and running that would prepare any turn-of-the-century budding ballist, as well as any modern day base ball historian or vintage ball player, into an effective scientific player with a scope on the inside game.While the skills necessary to play base ball have not changed much in the ensuing 110 years, it is a fascinating read to see how the game had developed by the end of the century and just how "modern" it had become. Irwin was a pioneer in modern sports development, from training methods, to equipment as well as scoreboard designs. Not much of Irwin's writing has survived and to read the training regimen of one of professional base ball's 19th century players/ managers/ owners /scouts, Practical Ball Playing transports one back to the golden age of our national pastime.
A fine example, Irwin excourages 1st base runners to feign a steal of second and see whether the shortstop or the 2nd baseman is covering the bag. That will tip off the batter as to where the "hole" in the infield would develop and to place the ball there. The hit-and-run style of ball playing is throughly explored.
