Philadelphia: The Penn Publishing, 1910. Hardcover. Illustrations by Ralph L. Boyer. Small 8vo. Olive green cloth with ivory lettering and black, brown and ivory pictorial stamping. 324pp. Tissue-guarded frontispiece, 5 of 6 called-for full-page plates, decorative endpapers. Very good. Bit of edgewear and rubbing; ownership signature on front flyleaf; inner hinges delicate and rough but expertly, archivally strengthened, thus strong. Tight and nice and internally lovely nice first edition of the penultimate title in the 4-volume baseball-theme "School Team Series" published between 1908 and 1911. Follow the adventures of Bob Farrar and his chums at Standham Academy. A difficult title to find in such nice condition. Earl was actually a pseudonym of Beth Bradford Gilchrist (1879-1957).
