Four players take part, a pitcher, catcher, umpire and batter. The ball is entirely
imaginary, but the act is so thoroughly rehearsed that each move is natural, so that the
catcher slaps his glove high in the air just after the batter swings at a high one.
An amusing stunt is to have the catcher reach ahead of the bat and pick one off before
the man can swing.
Someone says: Isn't it wonderful how that pitcher can hit the bat every time,
regardless where the other fellow holds the stick! ! !
A comedy consultation between the members of the battery may be made, also a high foul
tip which is so long in coming down that the catcher has time to read the paper. Finally
the batter knocks a home run amid great excitement, and slides home. A five-dollar-bill
slipped to the umpire also figures in the plot.
