With but two series of games to be

Bowling league, II is a certainty that
the Colts team, captained by Arthur Salz-

games But at that the Colts had first
safely tucked away. The Indepen-
dents will finish second in the race.
These two teams have been in the top
notch places throughout the season.
The other two teams are the only
ones which are not certain of their
places as yet By defeating the Pref
zels in two out of the three games
last night, the Athletics just nosed
their way into third place by three
stingy points. However, they are six
games behind the schedule and when
these games have been rolled of,
there will probably be q different as

RACE A THRILLER
IN BEN HUR PLAY
Chariots, Drawn by Painting
Horses, Seemingly Dash
Before Audience.
STADIUM CROWD LOOKS ON
Ingenius Bit of Deception Possible
by Introduction OF Stage
Mechanism.

OF scarcely less interest than the
racing scene itself in the production,
Ben Hur," which is to be the at
traction at the Illinois theatre Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, is the
paraphernalia employed in contribut-
| ing to the realism of the chariot
race. To the audience it is a char
lot race, pure and simple. with fly
ing wheels, painting, dashing horses
/ and shouting riders rushing past
what is apparently a multitude Of
spectators seated in the stands in
the stadium. The climax comes
when a wheel on Messala's chariot
flies off and he is hurled almost IN
der the hoofs of his team. In the
meantime the flying steeds of Ben
Hur have dashed on to victory. This
is the scene as the spectators see it.
MUCH MECHANISM REQUIRED.
In order TO produce this effect,
which, by the way, continues only SIS
seconds, considerable mechanism is
necessary, and to install this and

the stage ready. The advance me-
chanics have a complete set of equip
ment for the act and they prepare
the stage so that when the play
comes along the race can be pulled
off They then go on to the next
city where the company is booked
and install the equipment which the
company was using while they were
arranging the stage at the last place.
This means that two sets of para
phernalia have to be carried by the
production.
THREE MOTORS USED.
H. H. Perry. who has charge of
the advance preparation for the pro-
duction, stated today that rarely if
ever does he find stage so suitable
for the racing scene as is the one .
at the Illinois theatre. Its great /
depth and convenient width makes |
it one of the best stages in the coun- /
