A cleverly handled story with fun in it of a kind that some may think a trifle suggestive in a harmless way more or less. Gwendoline I. Pates, a petite heiress, has an accident to her motorboat and is cast away on Long Island near the home of Frank Chance, the great baseball leader, played by himself. When he comes home, he finds her asleep by his fire and he takes one room and she the other until next morning, when he fries some eggs for breakfast. The girl's father is wrathy and is going to pack her off to Europe; but she sends a note to Chance to rescue her from watchful grandparents. While he is trying to persuade the old people to let him run off with Gwendoline, his team is losing and Papa, in the bleachers, is shouting "Where is Chance?" A boy is sent to bring Chance back and Gwendoline slips past after dressing behind a screen in the boy's baseball suit. The audience seemed to enjoy it. - The Moving Picture World, December 20, 1913
