We are again fortunate in being able to present to America youth another fine story by Harold M. Sherman. This popular author of boys’ books needs no introduction to the vast majority of young readers. His splendid tales of sport and school life abound in all the things that appeal most to every red blooded boy. Every one of them sparkles with the clean fun and excitement that are integral part of American school life. The gridiron, the baseball diamond, the track, Harold M. Sherman knows them all. Above all he knows boys; what they like and do not like. His heroes are the finest examples of sturdy American youth, lovers of sport and sportsmanship without being, in any sense of the word, “sissies”. Tp those of our young readers who have read that stirring tale of college and football field, “Over The Line” we need say no more. To those of you who are meeting our author for the first time in “Strike Him Out” will come the genuine pleasure of meeting real boys and real sport. To boys who like, as every red blooded boy must, this kind of thing, we dedicate this books, that they may receive entertainment and inspiration from this story.
