Here is an image of "Learn Major League Baseball" by John "Dasher" Troy, written in 1915. Troy managed to hit an impressive .243 in his parts of five seasons from 1881 to 1885 in the majors, with a grand total of 625 at bats and 4 home runs: http://baseballreference.com/t/troyda01.shtml. I can't imagine Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb or Eddie Collins would have paid much attention to his instructions.
