In the diagram on pg 47 of Chadwick's 1868 Game of Baseball book, 1st and 3rd bases are reversed. this is clearly a typo based upon point of reference, but was not caught,(until chadwick corrected errors, possibly for another printing which never occurred) and i think it is especially interesting in light of the date and importance of the book.

I just checked the image in my reprint edition, and the shortstop is also on the wrong side of the infield. Never saw this before.
