The posters for advertising the league games of 1882 are gorgeous affairs. They are about two and one-half feet in width and about six feet in length. The design is gotten up to represent a catcher with a mask on, standing behind the bat. In front of him is the batsman, who stands with his bat aloft, ready to send the ball to “kingdom come,” if possible. The picture is very realistic, and reflects credit upon its designer. Above is a space wherein are printed the names of the clubs which it is advertising. At the bottom are the dates when they play. About the margins are printed the names of the eight league cities. They are printed in eight colors, and will serve as an attractive advertising medium., quoting an unidentified exchange
