After securing the desired article, he saunters up the street until he comes to a show window, in which is seen a most beautiful "model" in full length, displaying "the latest" in Paris fashions. Mutt becomes so enamored that he cannot resist telling her, or IT, so. While thus deeply engaged, a newsboy runs up and cries, "Paper, mister?" "Why, cert," says Mutt, "Give me the baseball extra!" Again he turns to the model in the window, while the newsboy is trying to make change for the last piece of coin in Mutt's possession. Seeing his chance, the newsboy "beats it." "Hey, kid! the change, I need it!" cries Mutt as he chases the fleeing newsie. The "kid," however, is too far away to hear. "Something's got to be done now!" soliloquizes Mutt. "I know what; I'll work a phony ticket I just can't miss seeing that game. Resides, if I can't go, Jeff can't, so I'll get his "goat." Little Jeff comes along very much downcast and also speaks of the great game he cannot see. Quickly Mutt exhibits his "phony," saying, "It's only a professional courtesy of the sporting editor." His bluff goes for all it's worth until he departs, leaving poor little Jeff to think over the matter, which results in Jeff coming to the conclusion, "Maybe the sporting editor will give me one, too, if I tell him that Mutt sent me!" So away he goes to the sporting editor's office, where after some great difficulty, he finally comes into possession of a real pass to the ball game, the editor not being able to make use of it. Later, on meeting Mutt, Jeff says, "I got a pass, too. Now, we can go together." Mutt realizes that Jeff has "put it over" on him, and taking up a big broad-axe, he chases poor little Jeff down five flights of fire-escapes, through many streets, and is just about to capture and perhaps annihilate him, when a passing street car comes to the rescue. Jeff gets aboard and lands safely in front of the ball park, just in time for the game. What becomes of poor old Mutt? Oh, he's still running! Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
