Q: In the short “Casey at the Bat,” there is a scene where a lady in the stands pulls a pin out of her hair with the intention of doing something with it, but the next scene has been cut in all the versions I have watched. What did she do with it?

A: There is no cut in that scene; it has always been the same. The lady in the stands is yelling “Kill the umpire,” and she pulls out her pin, perhaps threatening to do just that—but you have to read that into the story.
