Passes From InfieId, For

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. Aug. II.
Kid Elberfeld has probably play

certainty. The Tabasco One has an
nounced that Jack Pitier. the Southern
Michigan phenom. will be left on sec
ond for the Lookouts for the rest OF the
season. This forced the Kid to the
outfield IL he was to remain actively in
the game. That he intends to do so
10 shown by the release Of Jack
johnson.
Elberfeld's passing from third base

has been gradual. First he moved to
short and then to second. Now he has
moved into the outfleld where the ex-
ertion 10 less and more time is allowed
to watch the finer points on offense
and defense.
Pitler, whom Elberfeld Is coaching to
replace him at second for. the Look
outs. appears to be developing into q
Southern League sensation. The Michi-
liant felders ever seen on the local
diamond. Is as fast as a streak on hts
feet. He proved unusually weak with
the willow at nrst. but is showing
steady Improvement. His greatest asset
Ia his fghting disposition and his eternal
supply OF pepper. Just how promising
Elberfeld considers the youngster is
shown by the fact that he released so
good a ball player as Jack Johnson
rather than retard his development. 1t
Is no secret that '.e Kid expects great
things Of his protege next year.
The installation OF Elberfeld in the
outfield does not appear to have weak
ened the club either defensively or Of
fensively. Elberfeld Is outhitting John
son. and by switching Mcbride to left
and going to right himself he has left
the club as strong apparently on the
defense.
The KID Is not a. finished a fielder
as Johnson. but he has . better arm
and judges the batters as we'll a. he
did upon the inneld. The Lookouts un-
doubtedly will hnish the season with

Trained Writers
Produce Good
Scenarios.

One Of the most Interesting devel- 4
opments Of the motion picture In the
last few months has been the change
that has come over the heads of the
scenario departments OF the various
producing companies and their keen
desire to secure plays by competent
writer's. The day Of the amateur
scenario writer has about passed: the
day Of the school that taught any
body Ito write scenarios In spare
time has also passed. The produc-
ing companies are now scrambling
to secure the services Of the best
people to be found to write their
scenarios and are paying them fair
prices for their work.
To q large extent the change Of
heart on the part Of tho producers is
due to the demands Of the public for
better films. Better films required
better stories and better actors and
better production. There had been
q trained writer, a newspaper man
well known throughout the country.

the kinds of films which formed the
average production were an insult to

offered. He insisted on getting

to say about 1t. McCardell finally
