Ted Kennedy has recently made a great improvement in his celebrated back stop protecting glove for catchers. The glove is made three inches smaller, weighs ten ounces less, and is made with an adjustable thumb that produced a ready made concave. It does away with the “breaking in.” The Kennedy glove is acknowledged to be an actual safe-protecting glove. A steel wire encircles the fingers and thumb, and gives an absolute protection. The price of the glove is $10—the highest-priced glove in the market, but at the same time the cheapest in the end and the safest. They are made by Kennedy himself and each one is made by hand and will stay together.
