# Alice Howell — Our Baseball Club and How It Won the Championship character guide > Alice Howell in Our Baseball Club and How It Won the Championship by Noah Brooks. **Role:** major **Also known as:** Miss Alice Howell, Miss Alice, Miss Howell, Ally, Miss Ally, Pretty Alice Howell **First appearance:** 0001-our-baseball-club-and-how-it-won-the-championship ## Snapshot Judge Howell's spirited daughter, an ardent baseball devotee who frets over rain, defends the game against her father's scorn, and cheers the Catalpas with her whole heart. ## Who they are 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. ## Relationships ### [Judge Howell](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/judge_howell) _family_ Alice is the daughter of Judge Howell, and they have a close familial relationship with the judge being protective of her. ### [Larry Boyne](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/larry_boyne) _romantic_ Alice and Larry share a romantic interest, with Larry often seeking her approval and affection throughout the story. ### [Albert Heaton](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/albert_heaton) _social_ Albert Heaton and Alice Howell are acquaintances who interact socially, likely through their connections to Larry and the baseball circle. ### [Ben Burton](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/ben_burton) _friendship_ Alice and Ben are friends, with Ben often acting as a confidant and ally in matters involving Larry. ### [Ida Boardman](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/ida_boardman) _friendship_ Alice and Ida are close friends, often seen together and sharing confidences. ### [Judge Howell](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/judge_howell) _family_ Alice is the daughter of Judge Howell, and they have a close familial relationship with the judge being protective of her. ### [Larry Boyne](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/larry_boyne) _romantic_ Alice and Larry share a romantic interest, with Larry often seeking her approval and affection throughout the story. ### [Albert Heaton](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/albert_heaton) _social_ Albert Heaton and Alice Howell are acquaintances who interact socially, likely through their connections to Larry and the baseball circle. ### [Albert Heaton](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/albert_heaton) _social_ Albert Heaton and Alice Howell are acquaintances who interact socially, likely through their connections to Larry and the baseball circle. ### [Ida Boardman](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/ida_boardman) _friendship_ Alice and Ida are close friends, often seen together and sharing confidences. ### [Ben Burton](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/ben_burton) _friendship_ Alice and Ben are friends, with Ben often acting as a confidant and ally in matters involving Larry. ### [Judge Howell](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/characters/judge_howell) _family_ Alice is the daughter of Judge Howell, and they have a close familial relationship with the judge being protective of her. ## In the story ### [Our Baseball Club and How It Won the Championship](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/chapters/our-baseball-club-and-how-it-won-the-championship) Supporter of the team and involved in social dynamics. ### [I: Great Expectations](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/chapters/i-great-expectations) An ardent baseball fan, daughter of Judge Howell, anxiously watching the weather for the championship game. ### [II: A Scrub Game](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/our_baseball_club_and_how_it_won_the_championshi_se/chapters/ii-a-scrub-game) Daughter of Judge Howell;
