Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This is a juvenile fiction book for youth, with a very strong Jewish theme. The main character goes to Philadelphia Athletics games and gets a job selling cushions. Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Rube Waddell are all mentioned with a little game action. The boy also plays football fo…r his elementary school. The language used against the Jewish people "greasy Jew" and "you little sheenie" is indicative of the animosity Jewish people felt in America.
