Summary

The first of a series of boys’ stories on sports to be known as the Matty Books by Christopher Mathewson.

It is a college story about baseball. The hero is a fine young fellow whom many fans will at once think they recognize as a popular player. He enters a big Eastern University from the far West and gets on the varsity team as an extra pitcher after many trying experiences. He then develops his natural position as a fielder, becomes a star, and wins a scholarship, which insures his education.

Throughout the story, the author describes thrilling moments of actual games, some wonderful catches, and gives many stories, some of them humorous, of famous players and games.

The description and playing characteristics of many of the hero’s teammates remind me of one of the famous players of the present day.
