Jack Winters Gridiron Chums (Paperback)

Mark Overton wrote The American Boys Sports Series. These books touched on almost every sport of interest to boys. The books cover baseball, football, skating, rowing, hockey, ice-boating, sailing, camping, and fishing. Jack was the new boy in town. He appeared to be a born leader. An excerpt reads," Jack Winters was really something of a newcomer in Chester, but he had hardly landed in the old town than something seemed to awaken; for Jack made up his mind it was a shame that, with so much good material floating around loose, Chester could not emulate the example of the neighboring towns of Harmony and Marshall, and do something. There were those who said Jack's coming was to Chester like the cake of yeast set in a pan of dough, for things soon began to happen."
