Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Grace is somewhat disgusted with her sweetheart, Tom, because he is such an ardent “fan” and seems to give more attention to baseball than he does to her. Tom induces Grace to attend the game and she becomes as enthusiastic as he. The home team slumps and the fans are quite disheartened. To clear things up Tom asks Grace to marry him, but she replies she will not give her consent unless the home team wins the pennant. Quite discouraged, Tom calls on his friend, Hal Chase. Hal says the team can win out if they capture a decisive game to be played that day, and he assures Tom he will try his best to bring home the victory. At the game Tom and Grace are quite despondent when the game stands 2 to 0 in favor of the enemy in the last inning. With two men on bases, Hal Chase knocks a home run and excitement reigns supreme. The home team has now won the pennant and Tom has won his bride. When he calls to present Grace with the ring Hal drops in on them and is heartily congratulated by the grateful fans.
