Alice Howell begins the day pressing her nose to a foggy window, desperate for the decisive Catalpa–Jonesville match to be played, and trades barbs with her amused, disapproving father over breakfast. She loves the game openly in a town where the Judge wishes she'd leave its slang to the men, and her shining eyes on the bridge with Larry hint at feelings she hasn't named. Her enthusiasm and her loyalty to the home nine make her the emotional barometer of the season's biggest games.
