Millions of readers have hailed Zane Grey as a writer of Western stories but, strange to say, few of them know that he was once a college and professional baseball player. In this story he applies his knowledge of the game to deliver the tale of a young man and his love of the baseball. The book begins: Chase Alloway hurried out of the factory door and bent his steps homeward. He wore a thoughtful, anxious look, as of one who expected trouble. Yet there was a briskness in his stride that showed the excitement under which he labored was not altogether unpleasant.
