THE "KEN WARD" STORIES
| STORIES OF BASEBALL Zane Grey's baseball is as real, as dramatic and as thrilling as the western stories that made him famous. The Redheaded Outfield The Redheaded Outfield—three fiery-pated players who introduce a little boxing and plenty of comedy into the game will delight you. The Rube—who is all that a rube should be—appears in a whole series of these stories and is a character you won't forget. The Short-Stop Chase Alloway developed a mean curve that had the small town players buffaloed. They called him "Chaseaway", the "Hoodoo" and "crooked eye" and one small town team was all for having him tarred and feathered! A story crowded with hard and fast baseball—and a dash of romance! | |||
| STORIES OF THE GREAT WEST | ||||
| The Last of the Plainsmen "He'd rope the devil and tie him down—if the lasso didn't burn," it was said of "Buffalo Jones," one of the last of the famous plainsmen who trod the trails of the old West. Killing was repulsive to him and the passion of his life was to capture wild beasts alive. A real hunting trip—with constant danger threatening from wild beasts, Indians and the hazards of wild country untouched by civilization. | Roping Lions in the Grand Canyon A true story of Zane Grey's experiences capturing lions alive, which makes ordinary hunting with guns seem, in contrast about as exciting as a Sunday-school picnic. The account of how they captured six of the tawny, fiery-eyed demons which infest the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and got them into camp alive and growling, will enthrall the great host of Zane Grey's boy readers. | The Last of the Great Scouts The life story of "Buffalo Bill" by HELEN CODY WETMORE With Foreword and Conclusion by Zane Grey. "Buffalo Bill"—scout, pathfinder, hunter and Indian fighter is the most famous of all that great company of frontiersmen who opened up the West for civilization. Indeed no character in history makes a stronger appeal to the imagination than this daring hero of the old west. | ||
