Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Jimmy Kirkland and the Plot for a Pennant" by Hugh S. Fullerton is a sports novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the struggles of the Bears baseball team as they compete against the Panthers for the league championship title. The story follows the character of Jimmie McCarthy, the newly recruited third baseman, who faces personal challenges while trying to lead his team to victory in the midst of injuries and rivalry. The opening of the novel introduces the tension surrounding a crucial series of games between the Bears and the Panthers. Following the Bears' recent defeat, manager William Clancy is focused on improving his team's chances amid the news of a star player's injury. Amidst this, the reader meets Jimmie McCarthy, a young man with a mysterious past, who approaches Clancy with a bold offer to prove himself as a capable player. As McCarthy integrates into the team, we see early glimpses of his potential and determination to succeed, while also hinting at interpersonal conflicts with other players, particularly the arrogant pitcher Adonis Williams. This sets the stage for a captivating tale of competition, character development, and the integrity of the sport.
