d, the chronicler hastens
to add that there are, through the length and breadth of these
United States, several High School teams every year that make
such a showing.

Yet, in baseball, as in everything else, the record is reached
only by nines like the Gridley crowd, where the stiffest training,
the best coaches and the best individual nerve and grit among
the players are to be found.

Did Fred Ripley truly make good?

What else happened?

These and various other burning questions must now be answered
in the chronicle of the time to which they belonged. So the reader
is referred to the next volume in this series, which is to be
published at once under the caption: "_The High School Left End;
Or, Dick & Co. Grilling on the Football Gridiron_."

At the same time, no interested reader will allow himself to overlook
the second volume in the "_High School Boys' Vacation Series_,"
which runs parallel with this present series. All the wonderful
summer vacation adventures that followed the sophomore year of
Prescott and his chums will be found in the volume published under
the title, "_The High School Boys' In Summer Camp; Or, The Dick
Prescott Six Training for the Gridley Eleven_." It is a thrilling
story that no follower of the fortunes of these lads can afford
to overlook.
