The typewriter employed in the same office is "on to him" and when he is seized with violent cramps, she is not surprised, but the sympathetic boss advises him to get home and receive his mother's kind attentions. Jimmie goes straight to the baseball grounds and the boss returns to the office, where he finds a newspaper containing an announcement of the ball game on his desk, placed there by the typewriter. The boss sees the announcement and decides to take in the game himself, much to the satisfaction of the typewriter. On his way to the ball field, Jimmie's attention is attracted by a thug who is trying to steal a young lady's pocketbook. Dexterously taking his cigarette from his mouth, he places it to the neck of the thief, saves the young woman's purse, and gets a vigorous blow from the miscreant. This does not, however, deter the youngster from getting in to see the game. In the midst of his enthusiasm his boss takes a seat and joins in the national game, contributing his encouragement to the local favorites. Jimmie soon attracts the attention of his boss and everybody else, his boss makes a mental note of Jimmie's remedy for the cramps, and the next morning at the office gives him "a call down," during which the young lady whom he saved from being robbed enters the office. She is the boss's fiancée and her eulogistic description of Jimmie's bravery as her protector wins the boss's admiration, and instead of a prompt dismissal, Jimmie is rewarded with a $5 bill and unstinted praise from his superior.
