Such is the general appearance of the cover of the Index. Two tropical palm trees support a sign, on which is prominently blazoned the title of the work. Beneath, we are regaled with a view taken from the Nile delta. wherein are portrayed several beautiful obelisks and tomos, with a little-Moses...
...following have had experience as pitchers: Nichols, Wiuslow, Boyden and G. P. Baker. Five men have caught at different times, Allen, Crocker, Hurd, Tilden and Litchfield. Nothing however, is known as to the positions which the men will eventually ill. The course of training will for the present be general, consisting of daily squad drill and cage work three times each week.
