to high schools?

Any answers?

Three.

What'd they say?

The first school

didn't want me for a coach.

The second school

didn't want me for a coach.

And, heh, the third school...

They just didn't want me.

Any mail for me?

Five more letters.

Business must be good.

Let's open 'em.

Pickwick College

doesn't want any coaches.

Bainbridge either.

See what's in this one.

Horton U. Says sorry.

Western State... no soap.

Uh-oh...

you've got a job, brother.

I have?

What does it say?

Listen to this...

"From the President

of the United States.

Greetings!"

(woman) He sure writes

interesting letters.

(Rae) Oh, yes!

Listen to this, Mildred.

"The other day

my commanding officer

"called me in

and told me the good news.

"So I'm some kind

of athletic director at last,

even if it's for the army."

Sounds like he's happy.

And he looks good too.

In his new picture.

And a lieutenant now.

That's a mighty fine job.

Why can't this wait

till later on?

Dinner's almost ready.

It'll only take a minute, Mom.

That's just like you.

First thing

on top is your glove.

What're you going to do with it?

Don't know if I'll ever

do anything with it again.

Ah, more mail again.

I bet you spent

50 bucks on stamps.

If it gets me a job,

it'll be worth it.

Idaho Poly

doesn't want any coaches.

I could have guessed that.

Hey, wait a minute.

What is it?

A job!

Not the President

greeting me again?

No, but you read it.

Robinson, you're up next.

Pick out the one you like

and give it a ride.

Yes, sir!

Now batting

for the Black Panthers,

Jackie Robinson, shortstop.

All right, just a minute, boy.

This is a new boy, Sampson.

Take it real easy with him.

Nice and easy.

Let him hit it.

Yeah, I'll do that little thing.

Okay, boy...

I fixed it right up for you.

Easy, man... throw it easy.

(umpire) Strike!

What?

Let me help you up,

Mr. Robinson.

My goodness,

I don't know what's wrong

with that pitcher today.

You hadn't ought

to do that, Sampson.

You'll make this boy mad.

Nice and easy, I said!

Ball one!

What's wrong with that boy?

He's incorrigible,

that's what he is...

Incorrigible!

Right here now, man!

Strike two!

Man alive,

you sure swing pretty!

- Hold it!

- Whack!

(umpire) Safe!

You shouldn't

a done that, new boy.

I thought we gonna be friends.

(catcher) Oh, why didn't

you throw the ball right?

Safe!

Hey, that's enough of that.

How about "Shortnin' Bread"?

Never mind about

"Shortnin' Bread."

How about some ham and eggs?

That's a pretty good idea.

How about something to eat?

Okay, okay, we'll stop

at the next drive-in.

Is it always like this?

Sleeping on the bus?

Most of the time.
