| 520 | _a"Follow the Ball" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a sports-themed novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life of Joe Kenton, a talented baseball player at Holman's School, as he navigates the complexities of friendships, rivalries, and the significance of teamwork. The book explores themes of loyalty, personal sacrifice, and the passion for sports through the lens of adolescent experiences. The opening of the book introduces Joe Kenton, who is reflecting on his past school year and his relationship with his roommate Hal Norwin. As the school year approaches its end, Joe grapples with missed opportunities for academic achievements and social connections, particularly with Hal, with whom he shares a strained friendship. A pivotal moment occurs when Hal sneaks into their dormitory and is caught by the proctor, and Joe heroically takes the blame to protect Hal's chance to play in an important upcoming baseball game. This act of sacrifice sets the stage for the evolving dynamics between the characters and foreshadows the challenges they will face both on and off the field.
