Giants vs. Yanks
About Giants vs. Yanks
The boys want a baseball game, but several of them are stuck at chores until they get a goat, a hobo, and a turkey to cover the work. The game is chased off a vacant lot. A couple nearby is minding Jack's baby sister Imogene, and the gang goes into that house after a litter of puppies. A doctor quarantines the place because a maid may be contagious. The children wreck the house. He later says she is not contagious, and their parents take them out.
