Joe never misses an opportunity for practice, and I might almost say further, never comes in from the field unscarred. Whatever pranks the ball may play, Joseph seems to be the victim of, as his sprained fingers, bruised shins, &c. can attest; and seldom during the season is he seen without one or more of his fingers painted with iodine.
