a5c7b9f00b Elmer owns a gas station out in the California desert. Soon he has a business rival in Jim, who opens up another station, and is also trying to steal Elmer's girlfriend. She plays both rivals against the other and, because she is a baseball fan, both Elmer and Jim try to show each other up in the big local baseball game.
That's what gets Buster Keaton discovered in this petrified forest setting that turns his milquetoast character into another baseball playing Elmer. Following in the footsteps of Joe E. Brown who had earlier played Elmer the Great, Keaton really isn't funny here; it's more about the game than the farce, so I wouldn't call this one of his better efforts, at least comedy wise. Another example of stone faced comedy where it is the audience who sits there without expression. The only funny moment comes from the sudden replacement of the ball with a piece of fruit. I couldn't even see the most ardent of baseball fans enjoying this; it moves more like a game of golf.
This is one of the Educational Pictures Buster made in the thirties and is one of the best of the series. Buster is running a petrol station in the middle of nowhere and has various mishaps and competes in a baseball game. The first part of the film is fairly amusing in itself, but the baseball segment of the film is what people will remember. Buster used to run a comedy team himself who would come out before the proper game and entertain the crowd and a lot of the gags here are based on what he did, with exploding baseballs, huge bats, bullets embedded in the bats etc and so this becomes a valuable record of the gags he used perform way back then. If you're a Buster fan (and how can you not be?) this is definitely worth watching.
