George Wright and Henry A. Ditson each owned sporting good companies in the
1870s. Wright & Ditson company was founded in 1871 and was bought by Spalding in
1891, however the name was continued on golf clubs & balls till into
the 1940's. In the 1930s the company's name was "A.J. Reach, Wright & Ditson
and ownded by Spalding since 1891.
Al Spalding, A. J. Reach and George Wright all played for Boston's National
League baseball team in 1877. These 3 athletes and business men were all key
players in the early sporting goods and athletic apparel in the late 1800's and
early 1900's. For more detailed information on these companies and specifically
the lawn golf history and equipment including clubs, balls & cans I recommend
reading the excellent sections in books linked below :
