Chip does it again

Chip is the bravest, most talented kid ever.He goes to a steel plant in a town hes never been to. He plays on a baseball team where everone is older than him, all when he finds his first crush. Bee really put Chip to the test in this one, ... It all starts when the Rock sends Chip to this summer league baseball team. The owner of the team and the company Chip works and plays for is Rockwells friend Mr.Armstrong. Chip gets a crush on Armstrongs daughter Peggy. ... But in baseball hes having trouble. ... They always say stuff to him about it, so one day he shows his stuff ...

Chip has a love interest

Peggy Armstrong is about as close as Chip gets to being interested in girls in these early Chip Hilton books, but she is a match for him. Too bad he has to go back to Valley Falls at the end of the book. He could have been manager, star and gotten the girl, too. Good reading for all kids--girls included.
