The story follows the main character, Joe Matson, famously known as "Baseball Joe," who is a talented pitcher for the New York Giants. In this installment, Joe finds himself embroiled in a possibly lethal conspiracy involving his teammates, leading to a tense investigation and revelations about loyalty and integrity in the world of baseball. The opening of the narrative introduces Joe and his friend Jim Barclay as they discuss the previous game and express their concerns about certain teammates, Hupft and McCarney, whose performances seem suspiciously poor when Joe pitches. Their dialogue hints at Joe's increasing unease about a potential plot against him, as strange accidents and deliberate misplays occur. The tension escalates when Joe narrowly avoids a serious injury caused by falling lumber, suspiciously pushed from a nearby building, and Jim's pursuit of a suspect suggests something nefarious may be afoot. This beginning sets the stage for a thrilling tale of mystery and sport, drawing readers into the intrigue surrounding baseball and the personal stakes for its beloved players.
