Standish is a novel likely written in the early 20th century.

The central character, Dick Merriwell, embodies ideals of perseverance, sportsmanship, and leadership, as he navigates the challenges of a baseball game while managing the expectations and confidence of his team. The opening portion introduces the Fardale Military Academy's baseball team as they prepare to face the semi-professional Great Northern A.A.

However, tension arises when it is revealed that Dick is injured and must decide whether to pitch, which could endanger his health and affect the team’s future games.
