Abstract During the Civil War, Union and Confederate soldiers lay down their arms to play baseball. The soldiers think they are beating the system--fraternizing with the enemy is forbidden--but in fact the command of one side is using the games to meet a spy in the other's camp. When the soldiers realize this they pick up their arms. A first novel.
