This is a 24 page pamphlet titled "Baseball Fundamentals" written by Leslie Mann and published by the United States Amateur Baseball Association sometime in the 1930s. Leslie Mann was the National director of the US Amateur Baseball Association at the time. Pamphlet talks about the Association and how Baseball builds character, including Avery Brundage's "Code of Ideas." The rest of the Pamphlet uses photographs & diagrams to lay out the fundamentals of baseball, including batting, bunting, sliding, and base running. The information comes from slides and a larger coaching/training program developed by Leslie Mann to train and coach baseball players and coaches that he developed in the 1920s.
