| Summary | "Those Smith Boys on the Diamond; or, Nip and Tuck for Victory" by Howard Roger Garis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Smith brothers—John, Bill, and Pete—and their escapades as they play for their local baseball team, the Freeport nine, in a tightly contested league with their rivals from Vandalia. The narrative explores themes of teamwork, rivalry, and youthful mischief in the context of small-town life. The opening of the novel presents an intense and close baseball game where the Freeport team is battling for victory against Vandalia. It introduces the main characters, particularly focusing on Bill Smith, the team's pitcher, and his brothers as they navigate the pressures of the game and their teammates' antics. The scene is lively, filled with play-by-play descriptions of the action unfolding on the field, as well as demonstrating the camaraderie and competitive spirit among the boys. The excitement of baseball is met with hints of their mischievous nature as they consider plans for post-game shenanigans, setting the stage for their adventurous spirit throughout the story.
