Arthur Irwin, the famous short stop of the Philadelphia Club, has just perfected and placed uon the market a catchers’ glove which is bound to supercede any other style of glove now in the market, as it is not only quite as cheap, but far superior in point of durability and adaptability to the work required of it. We have seen the article in question, and speak from knowledge. No player will ever, we are convinced, use any other glove after a trial of Irwin’s glove. Bushong, Jack rowe, and other great catchers have endorsed it. The glove is hand-made and sewed, has no seams on the palm and fingers to come in contact with the ball, and is so skillfully padded as to be extremely liable [sic: probably should be pliable]. It is also calculated to protect the wrist from foul tips. Irwin’s advertisement on antoher page will give futher particulars.
