Ken Ward and his kid brother, Hal, spend a summer on a forest preserve
in Utah with Ken's pal Dick Leslie. The government rangers are out after
the mountain lions and the boys from the east are glad to share in the
thrilling work.
The Young Pitcher
When Ken Ward entered Wayne College to pursue his study of forestry he
discovered that as a freshman he was on the bottom rung and had to fight
to win his way to recognition. His first claim to fame comes when he
pummels a prominent sophomore in self-defense.
Ken Ward in the Jungle
Ken Ward and his younger brother Hal take a trip into the wilds of
Mexico--Ken to try his hand at field work in the jungle and Hal, who is
ambitious to become a naturalist, to collect specimens. The boys set out
to solve the mysteries of the Santa Rosa River, an unknown course of
about a hundred and seventy-five miles through uncharted jungle.

STORIES OF BASEBALL
_Zane Grey's baseball is as real, as dramatic and as thrilling as the
western stories that made him famous._
The Redheaded Outfield
The Redheaded Outfield--three fiery-pated players who introduce a little
boxing and plenty of comedy into the game will delight you. The
Rube--who is all that a rube should be--appears in a whole series of
these stories and is a character you won't forget.
The Short-Stop
Chase Alloway developed a mean curve that had the small town players
buffaloed. They called him "Chaseaway", the "Hoodoo" and "crooked eye"
and one small town team was all for having him tarred and feathered! A
story crowded with hard and fast baseball--and a dash of romance!

STORIES OF THE GREAT WEST
The Last of the Plainsmen
"He'd rope the devil and tie him down--if the lasso didn't burn," it was
said of "Buffalo Jones," one of the last of the famous plainsmen who
trod the trails of the old West. Killing was repulsive to him and the
passion of his life was to capture wild beasts alive.
A real hunting trip--with constant danger threatening from wild beasts,
Indians and the hazards of wild country untouched by civilization.
Roping Lions in the Grand Canyon
A true story of Zane Grey's experiences capturing lions alive, which
makes ordinary hunting with guns seem, in contrast about as exciting as
a Sunday-school picnic. The account of how they captured six of the
tawny, fiery-eyed demons which infest the bottom of the Grand Canyon,
and got them into camp alive and growling, will enthrall the great host
of Zane Grey's boy readers.
The Last of the Great Scouts
_The life story of "Buffalo Bill" by_
HELEN CODY WETMORE
_With Foreword and Conclusion by Zane Grey_.
"Buffalo Bill"--scout, pathfinder, hunter and Indian fighter is the most
famous of all that great company of frontiersmen who opened up the West
for civilization. Indeed no character in history makes a stronger appeal
to the imagination than this daring hero of the old west.
