The story follows Joe Matson, a young and talented pitcher who has left Yale University to pursue his dream of becoming a professional baseball player in the Central League, aiming to make a name for himself in the competitive world of minor league baseball. The opening of the novel introduces Joe returning home after his decision to leave Yale, where he excitedly reunites with his mother and sister. However, the family faces financial troubles due to Joe's father's risky investments, which casts a shadow over Joe's aspirations. As he prepares to embark on his professional career, the narrative explores themes of ambition, family support, and the potential pitfalls of the sports world. During his journey, Joe saves a man from an oncoming train and encounters a young woman named Mabel Varley in a dramatic sequence where he stops her runaway horse from going over a cliff.
