Summary: "Frank Merriwell's Diamond Foes; Or, Straight Over the Plate" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Frank Merriwell, junior, and his friend Billy McQuade as they navigate the challenges presented by Colonel Carson, a powerful and unscrupulous local figure in Carsonville, who threatens the livelihood of Billy's family over an unpaid mortgage. This tale encapsulates themes of friendship, sportsmanship, and moral integrity as the boys take on the local baseball team, hoping to defy the odds and save the day. At the start of the novel, we meet Chip Merriwell and Billy McQuade, who are enjoying their spring vacation and taking a cross-country run. Their day takes a turn when they encounter a runaway horse and buggy, resulting in a confrontation with the irate driver, who turns out to be Colonel Carson. As tensions rise, we learn of the colonel's mistreatment of local families and his ambition to uphold his reputation through his amateur baseball team. Amidst this backdrop, Chip and Billy gather support to form a local team, the Clippings, and prepare to challenge the Clippers, led by Bully Carson, setting the stage for a classic showdown that intertwines personal stakes with athletic rivalry.
