Milton finds that he cannot work to good advantage amid the noise and bustle of the reporter's room and tells the managing editor that he must have more quiet quarters. Gloria Driscoll, editor of the Woman's Page, has a nice big room all to herself. The managing editor informs her that she must hereafter share the room with the sporting editor. Angry in having her comfortable room disarranged, Gloria proceeds to give vent to her feelings by being as disagreeable as possible to Milton. Although a very good-natured fellow, Milton after vain attempts to be agreeable, at last comes back and there is open warfare between the sporting department and the woman's department. The managing editor, knowing the value of harmony in a newspaper office, seeks for some means of bringing Gloria and Milton to an amicable understanding. One day Gloria receives orders to go to the ball game and write an account of it. She protests that she doesn't know the game, but the editor says that was just why he wanted the article. It would be a novelty for the sporting page. So Gloria has to go, and worst of all, Milton has to be there beside her in the press box. Gloria begins to vaguely understand that when Collins was on third base if Baker slammed the ball over somebody's head, it would mean runs for the home team. The game waxes hot and hotter. Everybody is on their toes, including Gloria. When Baker cracks the fence with a three-bagger, Milton slaps Gloria on the back. Gloria squeezes Milton's arm. Long after the grandstand is emptied the sporting editor and the lady editor sit in the press box writing the story of the game, and as the shadows begin to grow real dark, each realizes that their own story is just commencing.
