Summary "The Play That Won" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a sports-themed novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the experiences of a group of boys at a private school, particularly focusing on the dynamics of their baseball team and the challenges they face both on and off the field. The main character, Ted Bowman, navigates friendships, rivalries, and critical decisions that ultimately impact the fate of his school’s baseball season. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Ted Bowman as he reflects on his baseball team’s recent victory over a rival school, Prospect Hill. Ted is also contemplating the troubles of his teammate, Hal Saunders, who risks facing disciplinary action from the school's Principal because of unpaid debts. As the story unfolds, we see the intricate relationships and tensions among the team members, including the disappointment Ted feels for his captain, George Tempest. The stakes are raised as the championship game approaches, and Ted grapples with feelings of loyalty, jealousy, and the desire to contribute to the team's success, setting the stage for further conflict and teamwork in the ensuing chapters.
