Around a central figure, “half girl, half boy, and the better half of each,” the author has written a fascinating story laying the plot first in America and subsequently, in the other stories, in other countries.  The author’s intimate knowledge and deep insight into the life and surroundings of the young heroines in the various countries add distinct educational value to the pronounced charm and quaintness of the stories.  A peculiarly timely series of books for young readers who have been following the progress of the war.

“As Popular as the Game Itself”

THE BIG LEAGUE SERIES

(Trade Mark Registered)

BY BURT L. STANDISH.

[Illustration]

Endorsed by such stars of baseballdom as Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb and
Walter Johnson.

An American boy with plenty of grit—­baseball at its finest—­and the girl in the case—­these are the elements which compose the most successful of juvenile fiction.  You don’t have to be a “fan” to enjoy these books; all you need to be is really human and alive with plenty of red blood in your veins.

The author managed a “Bush League” team a number of years ago and is thoroughly familiar with the actions of baseball players on and off the field.  Every American, young or old who has enjoyed the thrills and excitement of our national game, is sure to read with delight these splendid stories of baseball and romance.
