Text	Cobb, Lyman, Cobb's New Spelling Book, in Six Parts [New York, Caleb Bartlett], per David Block, Baseball Before We Knew It, page 206. Brock summarizes: "An engraving on the frontispiece of this book pictures a baseball scene outside of a school building. One boy is shown getting ready to fungo a baseball to two awaiting fielders, while two other boys stand around with bats in their hands."
