The Captain of the Nine By William Heyliger
Author of “Bartley, Freshman Pitcher,” “Bucking the Line,” etc. 20 Pen and Ink Pictures. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
Another splendid story of the school known as St. Mary’s. Bartley, the hero, is elected captain of the nine; and Mellen, the defeated candidate, is so disgruntled that he tries every possible way to prevent Bartley from having a successful season. Mellen’s attempt to decoy away a crack player on the eve of the big game, and Bartley’s wild ride on a bicycle to frustrate the attempt, bring about the climax of the story. The book has lots of snap to it and a goodly dash of “inside” baseball which will appeal to boys.
