You figure to win this?

- So does everybody.

- Never mind everybody.

Let's concentrate on you

for an instance.

- Yes or no?

- Yes.

Tell me, off the record,

what's your pitch?

- Well, I don't quite understand what...

- What is it with you?

Is it business, pleasure?

You wanna get a picture in the paper?

- I'm coming to that. I think...

- I really don't know what...

Figure it out, honey.

You're a cinch to win this, you know.

You can't miss copping

this thing in a walk.

- Without someone dismantles you.

- Oh, I don't know.

You're not supposed to know.

You're supposed to play.

I'm supposed to know, and I do.

Tell me...

How smart are you, anyway?

Very, in some things.

How's about money?

What kind of a thing is that?

- Not very.

- Oh, that's too bad. That's too bad.

Because I got a way for you

to stash away a roll, surprise you.

I'd like that.

You would?

How would you like

to come in second?

- I wouldn't.

- A square, like I figured.

That's too bad. That's too bad.

You come in second,

you could do very good in money.

Come in first, you get a cup.

It's too big to drink out of.

- I think you'd better get out.

- Mention a number. Think it over.

Here, this is me.

In New York, strictly legitimate

and well known.

I own and operate Davie Hucko.

- Davie Hucko, mean anything?

- No.

- No.

- Heavyweight champion of the world...

...in a couple of years.

Now to get back to you.

The only thing you gotta do

is to lose...

...and our only problem is gonna be

to find bushel baskets...

...to carry the stuff away.

- Yes?

- Room service.

Just a minute.

Whether you do or whether

you don't, I gotta tell you this:

You're a beautiful thing to watch.

In action.

Your opinion. How many do you think

you'd find honest out of 100?

Two on an average.

- I'd say three.

- All right, three.

Too bad she couldn't be one of the 97

instead of one of the three.

What a beautiful buck

we could've made with her.

- Maybe she'll change her mind.

- Not a chance.

- How you sure?

- See her face?

- Yeah.

- A real honest face.

- Yeah.

- The only disgusting thing about her.

We're having magnificent weather

for the opening day...

...of the Women's National

Match Play Championship.

And the last twosome, Miss Betty Hicks

and Mrs. Patricia Pemberton...

...will tee off in just a moment.

We'd like to remind you

that today is only the first day...

...of four days of tournament play.

And tomorrow's quarterfinal round

will begin promptly at 10:00.

On the tee now, Betty Hicks.

On the tee now, Patricia Pemberton.

Another bull's-eye.

Some straight shooter, this kid.

Yeah, that's our trouble.

This is the third twosome.
