Illustrations by Ralph L. Boyer. Small 8vo. Olive green cloth with ivory lettering and black, brown and ivory pictorial stamping. 350pp. Tissue-guarded frontispiece, 6 called-for full-page plates, pictorial endpapers. Very good. Quite mild edgewear, with spine lettering a tad rubbed; inner hinges delicate and rough but expertly, archivally strengthened, thus strong. Attractive and tight first edition of the first title in the 4-volume baseball-theme "School Team Series" published (1908-11). Fairly uncommon, especially in nice condition. Earl was the pen name of Beth Bradford Gilchrist (1879-1957). Seller Inventory # 45259
