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.
