You're probably right, it just 'looked' liked the number 14 on his back, in that and a few other captures, and I couldn't see any other examples of the number 14 in any of the other Our Gang shorts that I've checked so far.

In the beginning of "Football Romeo," Darla asks Butch to count to 100 so she can talk with Spanky and the rest of the gang. It is possible to hear Butch count to 28 when the scene cuts out. I'm hoping that some other occurrences of 15-28 can be found before resorting to this. I know of two instances of "15" appearing on film; let's see if someone can get one.

Are we admitting defeat on number 14? Fly My Kite (1931)  |

In the first post I said spoken numbers were allowed, but was hoping to find a better instance of 14 than someone counting or numbers on a calendar. That is a great 15. I was thinking of the 15th hole in Divot Diggers. Another 15 was on the game clock in The Pigskin Palooka. Now let's keep going!

I've got a 16 but, as I posted 15, I guess it's someone else's turn.

There could be a number 16, possibly Barry Downing, on the gang's team in Silk Okapi Heptagon The Pigskin Palooka but it's hard to see. If you have another 16 go for it.

That is a much better 16. A good 17 would be the date Greenpoint was founded (April 17, 1884), which apparently is on the plaque in a publicity still for Unexpected Riches but was cut off in the actual film. Here is a clearer 17 in The Pigskin Palooka, most likely Hugh Chapman according to theluckycorner.com .  |

Number 18: Jubilo, Jr (1924)  And the elusive number 14: Fast Company (1924)  |

I thought there was a calendar somewhere. I think it's better to find the numbers elsewhere, and use calendars as a last resort. A different instance of 18 is that was the number of votes Froggy and Mickey each got in the first two rounds of balloting in Election Daze.

I just happened to spot numbers 18 and 14 while I was watching those two shorts, I wasn't specifically looking for them, but in the case of 14 I think that it is a last resort because when I was looking for it I couldn't find any examples anywhere. |

There doesn't seem to be a 19 other than dates on calendars or Butch's counting in "Football Romeo," so here is a 20. This shot is from the first missed extra point by Spike's Tigers in "The Pigskin Palooka." The player is identified as Roger McGee, who had a few bit parts, by theluckycornercom. There is also a 20 on the scoreboard clock, which has all multiples of 5 up to 55 (plus a 2).  I have a good spoken 21 in mind; let's see if someone comes up with the same. |

It's been a week, so.
Donald Haines tells Jack Crabtree in "School's Out" that Miss Crabtree has 21 children, when the gang is trying to convince Jack that marrying their teacher is a bad idea.

Couldn't find a 22 or 23 that wasn't a date on a calendar, so here's a couple of 24s from "The Pigskin Palooka."   25 should be a lot easier. See if the one I'm thinking of is selected. |

…the title card "In 1698, Captain Kidd buried his treasure. Since then, 14,987,652,376,456,983 little boys have started to find it," from "Buried Treasure." I'm not qualified to play this game so won't even try. I'd just like to point out the obvious: though "Beanie" Walker's title card are naturally given to hyperbole, the number he uses here is greater by several orders of magnitude than the sum of all human beings who have ever lived in the Earth's history. A quick search reveals that this number is actually about 108 billion, or 108,000,000,000. |
