==Summary==
We come to a sign that announces "Baseball to-day: Buddy's Bearcats vs. Battling Bruisers." Below, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of fans rush into the ball park; patrons buy tickets & walk through a turnstile. One particularly large man is called back to the ticket window after purchasing his admission & is measured by the operator of the window: "Two seats!" the ticket salesman declares. The man happily obliges and purchases a second ticket for himself! Two tall, bearded gentlemen (in top hats, no less), one holding the shoulders of the other in front, compress themselves, & sneak, with impunity, under the turnstile and the nose of the ticket salesman. A young man with light, curly hair observes the park from without through a crack in the fence and says: "It's Buddy!" We then see Our Hero, grandly bearing the attire of his team & cheerfully tossing a ball about his shoulders & chest. Two other men watch through holes in the fence: as a gag, one's hole in the fence is so much higher than the other's, making viewing difficult, unless one simply reaches up and pulls down the high hole, thereby lowering it & raising the other's hole, to the inconvenience of the other. A dog sits beneath the same curly-haired man from before, and another fellow uses the canine's tail as a crank that curves the dog's midsection upwards, allowing the young man a far better view of the field (or simply a chance to leap over the fence.) An apparently Scotch couple inflates a set of bagpipes, then ties them, as an hot air balloon, to a drum, which serves as a platform, that the couple might float in the air & leap over the fence as well. The fans sway about in the stands, and an unusually blond Cookie greets Buddy & vice versa. Buddy uses a baseball to play a set of bats as though they were a xylophone, then catches the ball in his back pocket. A food vendor named Willie King sings about his hot dogs; a whimsical drink vendor walks the stands, sends a soda pop over to a young patron by means of a little propeller. A very musical announcer introduces us to the Battling Bruisers, the team on his right; and on his left, "the greatest team the world has ever seen: Buddy and his Bearcats." The game begins, narrated by a parody of Joe E. Brown, who swallows a ball thrown, in his direction, by Buddy. Buddy rubs his hands with dirt; a Bruiser squirts oil under his arms, and throws a pitch to Buddy, who hits the ball and runs (and skates) to base. The fans are very pleased. In the next scene, Buddy throws a tricky ball to a Bruiser, who can not seem to hit it; he throws down his bat, blows air (through a bug spray apparatus) at the ball that it falls (as would a dying fly), and simply picks it up, tosses it into the air, & hits it. An outfielder catches the ball. The score, we see in the next scene, stands at forty-nine to forty-seven. The people want Buddy! But Our Hero, behind the scenes, is all too nervous to emerge & play; alone, he genuflects, and appears, for a moment, to pray. Cookie approaches him and tells him of the great clamor for him from the spectators: Buddy is bashfully convinced. Buddy gladly takes the bat from another player (who looks like a taller, balder version of Buddy), hits a ball thrown by a maniacally laughing, mustachioed Bruiser, & runs about the diamond, cheered on by Cookie, who stands at base. The game is won, & the two sweethearts, embracing, are buried in a deluge of the hats of happy fans.
