- "Strike one! What a fast ball! The batter never saw it. Strike two! The Schoolboy wasted his third pitch, then burned in his fast ball again: but this time the batter was ready. He met it squarely and the ball soared majestically into the distant bleachers. The young pitcher tossed his glove away and then gave it a vicious kick. The shouts that had greeted the homer died away. A strange, unpleasant silence fell over the ball park. In the next inning Schoolboy Johnson blew up completely. The Dodgers were in the thick of a pennant drive, and they badly needed the games he could win for them, if only he could learn to master his own temperament. The manager, in desperation, turned him over to a wise old veteran, himself a pitcher, but it took more than Speedy's counsel, more even that the change-up Speedy taught him, to turn the Schoolboy into a winning pitcher, and a man."
- "Baseball veteran of nineteen years returns for his last season and finds club's chances for a pennant depend on a tempermental rookie."
