The Kid from Tomkinsville — John R. Tunis / John Roberts Tunis

The Season Is Going, Going, Gone!

Roy Tucker, the rookie pitcher from Connecticut, is the wiz kid for the Brooklyn Dodgers this year. Not only does he have incredible stuff on the mound, but he can hit, too. Things are looking good for the Dodgers.

But the season is just getting hot when the team falls apart. Dave Leonard, the veteran catcher, is released, and Razzle, the star pitcher, gets suspended after a temper tantrum. To top it off, Roy takes a hard fall on his pitching arm.

The Dodgers have some big decisions to make; they must save the team from complete ruin. But can the Dodgers make a comeback without their star rookie?
