Plot Summary:Christy Mathewson is engaged to Lillian Terry, daughter of Edward Terry, a rich merchant. The father favors the match, but dislikes the way Christie fools away his time playing baseball. Jack Prescott, the rejected suitor, tells Terry that if ever he lets Christy marry his daughter he will regret. At the instigation of his daughter, Terry makes Christy an offer to come into his office to work for the sum of $25 per week. Christy, against his own inclination, accepts the offer. This does not suit Prescott, who does all in his power to have Christy fired. In the office we are introduced to Otto, a baseball fiend, who is never happier than when arguing with his fellow clerks or in demonstrating to them the way in which various players pitch the ball. He and Christy soon become fast friends. Christy still continues playing baseball with an amateur team. On one occasion he leaves his sweetheart, telling her he has a business engagement. Prescott, meantime, meets Lillian on her way home. Christy is caught in the lie. Christy gives his word he will not play again. Otto, one day, is having a heated argument with his pals, and is trying to show them how a certain pitcher won his game. Christy is asked for his decision. He gets a baseball and as he throws it the door opens and Terry, with a rich client, enters. The ball strikes the rich client. Terry fires Christy. Christy, that evening, writes to Lil to the effect that he never was cut out for office work, and that he was going out into the world to find a career himself. He asks her to wait for him, which she promises to do. Later he is discovered by Jack North and the scout. North is the manager of a big league team. He makes him an offer, which Christy accepts. A year passes. The boys at the office learn that their old pal, Christy, may get a chance to show his worth that day at the ball grounds. They all fake telegrams saying that their grandmothers are dead. Terry, who knows himself what is in the wind, sympathizes and gives them the day off. He then 'phones Lillian. On the way to the game they meet Prescott, who accompanies them. At the Polo Grounds we have the regulation scenes of the different players warming up; this includes Tesreau, Marquard, Mathewson, etc. Later, end of eighth inning, score tied, four to four. The manager of the team decides to give Christy his chance. He takes out the man who has been pitching and sends Christy in. Christy is so nervous that he can scarcely hold the ball, but as he looks toward the grandstand, he sees Lil watching him eagerly. His nerve returns, and pitching a wonderful game, he shuts out the opposing team. Lillian sends a note to him to call at the house that evening. When he arrives there he finds that Lil's father has become a baseball enthusiast. Lil finds it difficult to get Christy alone, as Terry wants him to demonstrate the game and how he won it. Prescott has to sit and listen to all this, and to his disgust, Terry tells Christy that he can marry Lil whenever he likes.
