The Short-Stop

A transcript from life on the diamond. The young hero tiring of his factory grind starts out to win fame and fortune as a professional ball player. His hard knocks at the start are followed by such success as clean sportsmanship, courage and honesty ought to win. The story is told by one intimately acquainted with the game and players and contains a helpful handling of the Sunday-game situation. This edition contains six illustrations by H. S. DeLay as they appeared the original publication of 1909.
