Philadelphia: John C. Winston Company, (1914).

Hardcover. Second Printing. Illustrated by Charles Paxson Gray. Dampstains on the first several leaves, not affecting any text, a very small tear on the margins of three consecutive pages, thus a good only copy in a dampstained, fair only dustwrapper with light chipping at the extremities. The first of four Bell Haven novels, each concentrating on a separate sport. This boy's baseball novel features a plucky protagonist who captains the team to victory with the help of a terrific Native-American pitcher, doubtless inspired by the then recent athletic triumphs of Jim Thorpe. Very scarce in jacket. *Shannon* p. 18.
