Danforth Plays The Game: the longest and my favorite one in the book. It's about a talented youngster who, with effort and some luck gets into the school team in his first year, just in time to play the biggest game of the season. However, he is about to miss it due to an unfair punishment.
Black-on-Blue: only indirectly related to sports, it's about a boy whose wealthy grandmother promised to put him through college. However, when she dies, it seems she did not leave him anything of value.
Jonesie Uses His Influence: the first of several comical stories about a fifteen-year-old boy called Jonesie. He is a smooth-talking scoundrel who, in this case, makes a younger boy believe that his (the younger kid's) admission into the school team is due to Jonesie's influence.
The Magic Football, A Fairy Tale of To-day: Fantasy story where a boy gets a magic football which allows him to become a football star in his school.
Sportsmen All: Jonesie buys a hunting dog and chaos ensues in the school.
The Embassy to Mearsville: Due to several players being unavailable, a college student is sorely needed for the big football game, but he can't play because he promised his parents he wouldn't, as he just recovered from some injuries and his father was afraid he would get hurt. He also finds it dishonorable to ask to be released him from his promise. Therefore, an embassy is sent by the rest of the team to try to convince his father to release him from his promise.
Jonesie and the All-Stars: Jonesie challenges the school team to a game of baseball and forms a team with underclassmen who don't even know how to play.
This was a pleasant read, with all the stories being entertaining, although I preferred the normal ones to the comical and fantasy ones. The two I enjoyed most were Danforth Plays The Game and The Embassy to Mearsville.
