Leacock's - Official Rules of Corkball

St. Louis, MO, Leacock Sporting Goods Company, 1949. First Edition. First edition; 6 x 4; pp. 1-9; orange wraps, printed and illusrated in black; very faint personal stamp of previous owner and a few minor spots to front wrap; very good condition. Originating on the streets and back alleys of St. Louis in the 1890s, the game of corkball is in essence a "miniature-baseball." The game gained pupularity during the Second World War and the Korean War, as soldiers from Missouri introduced it to their brothers in arms. Leacock's - a big sporting goods store in St. Louis, known for distributing the official "Gum Wound" Cork Ball and the official Corkball Bat - published the booklet under the official approval of the United States Corkball Committee. OCLC lists only a later, 1954 revised edition, with none other in the trade (as of May 2019). Very good .
