To CHARLES A. COMISKEY The man to whom, more than all others, the honesty and high standard of professional baseball is due, this little volume is dedicated with the sincere regard of a student to his preceptor.
JIMMY KIRKLAND AND A PLOT FOR A PENNANT
CHAPTER I - Panthers or Bears?
CHAPTER II - A Miracle Called McCarthy
CHAPTER III - Hope for the Bears
The drama opens as the season’s final series pits the Bears against the Panthers, and a crushing defeat already threatens the Bears’ championship hopes. With their star batter Carson sidelined by a broken leg and their pitching staff exhausted, manager William Clancy faces a daunting dilemma while the nation watches the race for the pennant tighten.
Enter Jimmy Kirkland, a wiry, confident youngster whose arrival at the hotel lobby catches the eye of the team's star left‑hander, Adonis Williams. Jimmy’s keen sense of the game and his quiet determination promise to stir the clubhouse, offering a glimmer of hope for a team on the brink. As the Bears regroup and the rivalry intensifies, listeners will be drawn into the gritty world of early‑20th‑century baseball, where every play can change a season’s destiny.
