Down in Briggs Cage, even amongst the panting trackmen, Stuffy McInnis and the baseball squad are flexing and reflexing, reading clippings from Dixie about the spring practices of major league teams. The last snows of March may wet down the first dust on the diamond...

Modern Library, which was such a good thing when it first came out, has not only been steadily increasing its prices but lately taken to putting flashy dust-jackets on its issues in an apparent attempt to cover up the deteriorating quality of its insides.
