NOTES:

Tip Top Weekly magazine, was published by Street & Smith from 1896 through 1912 when the title was changed to "New Tip Top Weekly" and published under that title until 1915. Promoted as "An Ideal Publication for The American Youth," the short stories in the magazine surround the sporting adventures of fictional characters Dick and Frank Merriwell. Tip Top Weekly was edited by Frederick Tilney and Gilbert Patten, who wrote under the pseudonym Burt L. Standish. Gilbert Patten, aka Burt L. Standish wrote hundreds of "Medal Library" Dime Novels published by Street & Smith featuring the Merriwell's.

The 1904 issue (above) with a price of .05 cents per copy, pictures a fielder "Gathering in a Hot Grounder" and at the top Boasts as being the "Largest Weekly Circulation In America" The back of this issue promotes The Tip Top Baseball Tournament of 1904, with a chance to win team equipment and baseball Outfits.

The Tip Top weekly stories of the adventures of Dick & Frank Merriwell, cover a wide range of sports that includes: Ranch & Rodeo, Fencing, Track & Field, Gymnastics, Boxing, Football, Hockey and Baseball. They did it all. Up until 1907 the many baseball covers include dual titles, such as "Frank Merriwell's Fast Nine or Champions of the County," "Dick Merriwell's Set Back or the Struggle to stay in the League," .See the running list of baseball covers below.
