520			_aLefty o’ the Blue Stockings by Burt L. Standish is a sports novel written in the early 20th century. It follows Lefty Locke, a rising southpaw in a tight pennant race, as he navigates pressure on the mound, a jealous veteran pitcher, a meddling new manager, and a tangle of affections that complicates his focus. The tone blends on-field strategy with clubhouse politics and hints of romance. The opening of the book plunges into a high-stakes game where starter Pete Grist unravels, owner Collier orders manager Carson to summon Lefty, and the cool young pitcher stops a Specters rally, duels sluggers, and then drives in the winning run. In the glow of victory Lefty meets Collier’s savvy daughter, Virginia, just as his true sweetheart, Janet Harting, arrives in town—leading to a painful misunderstanding when Janet spots Lefty escorting Virginia at the theater. Shut out from explaining, Lefty stews while Carson repeatedly uses him as a late-inning savior, fueling clubhouse friction and Grist’s resentment; Virginia notices the misuse and nudges her father. After a tense train-row with Carson, Lefty starts against the Specters, pitching in jittery bursts of brilliance and carelessness, leaving his teammates—and the reader—uneasy about his state of mind as the road trip begins.
