The Rockspur Athletic Series
By Gilbert Patten
The series consists of three books, each being a good clean story of athletic training, sports and contests, such as interest every healthy, growing boy of to-day.
While aiming to avoid the extravagant and sensational, the stories contain enough thrilling incidents to please the lad who loves action and adventure. From the beginning, The Boys of Rockspur work step by step toward the grand consummation of their desires, the building and fitting o£ a club house and gymnasium, a result that is finally accomplished; but, in the meantime, they have many trials, jealousies, heartburnings and defeats, enemies and traitors in their own ranks, making the struggle harder and the victory sweeter. The description of their Baseball and Football Games and other contests with rival clubs and teams make very exciting and absorbing reading; and few boys with warm blood in their veins, having once begun the perusal of one o£ these books, will willingly lay it down till it is finished.
1—The Rockspur Nine. A story of Baseball.
2—The Rockspur Eleven. A Story of Football.
3—The Rockspur Rivals. A Story of Winter Sports.
Each volume contains about 300 pages, 12mo in size, cloth binding, per volume, $1.00
THE FRANK MERRIWELL SERIES
By BURT L. STANDISH
For a great number of years Frank Merriwell has been a name to conjure with among the boys of America. Frank, with his chums, has been deservedly popular, but his adventures and achievements have never before been published in book form. It was in response to a clamorous demand for the Frank Merriwell stories in this form that this series was prepared. These are unique among boys' books; indeed, so filled are they with incident and action o£ every kind that it would be impossible to give here any adequate idea of what they contain. Frank Merriwell was no ordinary boy, and it falls to the lot of very few fellows to have as much fun and strenuousness crowded into his school life as will be found in this all-absorbing history.
The first titles in the series are:
Frank Merriwell's School Days. Illustrated. 12mo, 302 pages. Cloth binding. $1.00
Frank Merriwell's Chums. Illustrated. 12mo, 302 pages. Cloth binding. (In press.) $1.00
