| Summary | "Third Base Thatcher" by Everett Scott is a fictional sports novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on Jeff Thatcher, a Freshman at Pennington Institute, who is determined to prove his sportsmanship and skill on the basketball court and eventually on the baseball field. Set against the backdrop of competitive high school athletics, the story explores themes of integrity, rivalry, and perseverance. At the start of the story, Jeff Thatcher is facing a bitter disappointment after being unfairly called for a foul during a crucial basketball game, which leads to the loss of the championship for his class. Frustrated by the accusation of playing dirty, he encounters his rival, Gould, provoking a fight that draws the attention of school authorities. As Jeff grapples with his predicament and the fear of expulsion from school, he learns the value of hard work and clean competition. The narrative sets the stage for his journey back to redemption through baseball, with the support of friends and the desire to outshine Gould, who poses a significant challenge to his ambitions.
