This is another story of Lansing Academy, a companion book to “Quarterback Reckless.” Chester Hall is again the hero. “Ches” loses his place on the ’Varsity nine and is called a coward because he appears to be afraid of the rival pitcher. The coach does not know that the same pitcher has once knocked “Ches” unconscious with a “bean” ball, and “Ches” doesn’t tell. The story then tells of “Ches’s” great fight to get back on the nine, a fight in which he is aided greatly by a professor who was a star pitcher at Princeton in his college days. These two stories are splendidly told, and are sure to find a large circle of boy readers.

This is a new theme for a juvenile. It is different from the usual school boy life, for the two young heroes work on a cattle ranch in the far West, where they try to help support their family and also save enough money to secure an education. The boys work side by side with the cattlemen on the ranch and do the same work, herding the cattle, breaking in the young cows, saving them from the wolves, and protecting the ranch from the Indians and the cattle thieves. The book is filled with descriptions of life on the open prairie and the exciting episodes connected with work on a ranch.
