Babe, Darling of the Hills #9
The issue opens with a baseball-themed story in which Babe uses a bat during a game, striking a pitched ball that curves unusually through the air and travels around like it has a mind of its own, bewildering players who struggle to track its ghostly movement. The story shifts to a comedic subplot involving a doctor's x-ray machine and an installment company employee, with Babe attempting to stall and devise a plan to safely manage the situation. A separate humorous segment features an explanation of a "sheep-sleep gadget" and alarm clock designed for sound sleepers, with the device shaking the "bejeebers" out of anyone who fails to wake to its bell.
