(Ralph Henry) Heath, Howard 1879 Finkler's Field: A Story of School and Baseball Produced by Donald Cummings and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Finkler's Field: A Story of School and Baseball" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the spirited life of boys at Maple Ridge School, focusing on their experiences with baseball, camaraderie, and rivalries. The main character, Sam Phillips, is a talented pitcher facing both sporting challenges and the comical School-Towner competition, which sets a lighthearted tone for the narrative. The opening of the novel introduces us to a lively scene on the baseball field as the Maple Ridge team practices under the guidance of their coach. Sam Phillips, despite his unassuming appearance, is celebrated for his pitching prowess, which creates a mix of excitement and rivalry among the boys. We also meet Jack Borden, a new student from Kansas, who is eager to fit in. As the characters banter back and forth about their upcoming game against the Towners—local boys—their discussions hint at an ongoing feud with Farmer Finkler and the frustrations of limited playing space. The stage is set for competition, personal friendships, and humorous antics that define adolescent life within the school. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
