Plot
According to a magazine, [5] "A young clerk in a small town, through success on the local amateur team, became convinced he was superior to the big-leaguers. He neglected his work and thought of nothing but baseball, which worried his wife, who finally appealed to a distant relative, Chief Bender, noted twirler of the World's Champions, to help her, and not in vain, for to the conceited counter jumper came a letter stating that his fame had reached Connie Mack, and Bender, Coombs, Morgan and “Rube’’ Oldring were coming to learn from the village champion how to play baseball. By this time the little frog had swollen to such a size that he really believed the plea was genuine. But there was only one lesson, and the little frog went sadly home, burned his uniform, bats and baseballs and returned to his regular work behind the counter—cured."
