"Her teachers wouldn't pass her

so she just turned on the gas

"And now the sweetest gal at Vassar's

in the cold, cold ground

"Yes, indeed

"Yes, indeedy

"Yes, indeed

The boy's a hound

"The sweetest gal at Vassar's

in the cold, cold ground

"I met a gal when we hit Manhattan

"A scrumptious babe

dressed in silk and lace

"Her eyes were stars

and her skin were satin

"I told her how I'd missed her

then she murmured that and this

"So I thought I'd try to kiss her,

but she slapped my face!

"Yes, indeed

"Yes, indeedy

"Yes, indeed

Couldn't reach first base

"Yes, indeed

"Yes, indeedy

"I thought I'd try to kiss her,

but she slapped my face!

"I kissed a gal down in Mississippi

"A Southern belle name of Emmy Joe"

That was her name?

"I thought for once love had got me dippy

"She called me 'Lucky Seven'

"Said my kisses were from heaven

"Then I learned she was 11

And I had to go

"Yes, indeedy

"Yes, indeedy

"Yes, indeedy

"Her age was just 11

So he had to go

"Yes, indeed

"Yes, indeedy

"Yes, indeed

The boys made hay

"Yes, indeed

"Yes, indeedy

"We're hot as electric wires

Twice as hot as forest fires

"And the biggest pair of liars!"

Liars?

What the hay?

"We're the biggest pair of liars

in the USA"

Gilhuly!

- How are you?

- Hiya, Mike. How are you?

What's ailing him?

I've got some bad news for you.

This just came.

"From the law office of Hergesheimer,

Hergesheimer, Hergesheimer, Herge..."

Never mind the batting order.

"Gentlemen...

"...this will inform you that according

to the will of Colonel J. B. Newhouse...

"...former owner of the baseball club

known as the Wolves...

"...all rights and interests in said club...

"...have been bequeathed to the late

Colonel's young and distant relative...

"...one K. C. Higgins...

"...who will arrive in Florida

on the 10th instant to assert ownership...

"...and actively participate

in the management of said club."

- Who's K. C. Higgins?

- He'll probably want to pitch.

We got to take orders from a dopey kid

who never swung a bat?

- Looks that way.

- Not to me!

I don't know about you,

but I want us to win the pennant.

You don't cop any prize money

finishing in last place.

This happened to Baltimore once.

They had to dig them out of the cellar.

- Lf this guy opens his trap, I quit!

- So do I!

Wait a minute. Quiet.

Wait a minute now.

How about a little fair play here, boys?

You guys don't even know this Higgins.

Now here's what I say.

He's gonna arrive here Sunday morning.

Until then, let's keep an open mind.

Above all, let's not judge him too hastily.

The little rat!

You take the back end.

Are you Mr. Higgins?

K. C. Higgins?

- Higgins?
