| Summary | "Winning His Game" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a sports novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Dudley Baker, a shy and introspective teenage boy at Grafton School, who seeks to prove himself as a pitcher on the school baseball team. With the support of his more outgoing roommate, Jimmy Logan, Dud aims to navigate the social dynamics of school life while pursuing his dream of being a successful athlete. The opening of the book introduces us to Dudley and Jimmy as they engage in a lighthearted yet insightful conversation that reveals Dudley's aspirations and insecurities. While Dud contemplates trying out for the baseball team, he grapples with self-doubt and the fear of rejection from his peers. The contrasting personalities of Jimmy, who encourages Dud to be more social and confident, and Dud's more reserved nature set the stage for a narrative that explores friendship, competition, and personal growth in the context of adolescence and athletic ambition.
