This guide comes from the library of
Jere Hayes - long time Sports Editor
Daily Times Herald; Dallas, Texas.
"Jere R. Hayes" and the season covered by the guide - 1919
are stamped in gold lettering on the front cover.
Small paper label from
"Henry Nuss - Book Binder, Paper Ruler; Dallas Texas"
at the lower left corner inside rear cover.
NOTE: Reach dated their guides by the year of issue
- the information covers the previous season,
so Hayes stamped his guides
with the date of the season covered,
- a year "earlier" than Reach's "title" date.
Near-fine condition: original wraps bound into vintage hardcovers:
Red boards with "pull" creases and wear to top, bottom spine;

NONE of the rips, creases, tears, brittle and/or
chipping pages that are typical with these fragile publications
