He talks about necessity of this kind of school and expresses his confidence that some of the boys will become famous. Fonseca explains to a boy how to hold the bat. Boy batting. Several other boys batting. Joe E. Brown pitching - he does it in manner of slow motion. All his movements are slowed down and over-exaggerated - he looks like a cartoon character. More shots of the boys playing. A boy catches the ball at the same time as the other boy touches the base. Joe Brown, who is presumably the umpire, shouts: "OUT!" Close up shot of his face as he shouts again. | |
