Actress Gives
Performance at
Bottom of Tank

Niobe, a shapely young woman
who performs as we'll at the bot
tom of big glass tank of water
as some vaudeville performers do
on the open stage, has the big
place on the new Hippodrome pro-
gram. Her act is far from the
ordinary.
With nothing but glass tank
and set of scenery depicting New
York harbor for her properties,
the young woman keeps her aud
fence breathless during her entire
act. She sews, sings, eats, writes,
acts and converses at the bottom
of the tank. Her ability to re-
main submerged for long periods
of time is uncanny.

Movies Taken
In SnOWStOrn

A large number of the exterior
scenes in Harold Lockwood's new
production, THE Avenging Trail"
now playing at the Apollo, were
photographed with no little
amount of difficulty. Those are
the winter scenes, which were
made while the snow was falling
with early winter heaviness.
In order to prevent the snow
from flying into the lens and
causing a blur in the negative, the
technical staff Of the company
bought a large waterproof cover
ing, attached a pole to each of the
four corners, and the canopy thus
formed was held over the camera.
With this covering to shield the
camera the scenes were photo
graphed.
Aside from its scenic beauty,
"The Avenging Trail" has other
points to recommend it. 1t is a
vigorous drama, and, therefore,
a new type Of vehicle for the star
one that is expected to cause
comment because Mr.. Lockwood
has never done anything like 1t be-
fore.
"The Avenging Trail will re-
main at the Apollo until Tuesday
night only.

What constitutes the great hit

What constitutes the great hit
ter in baseball?
Do batting averages really con-
vey to the fan the actual batting
value of the ball player?
Does the mere fact that a batter
hits safely a certain number of
times in a given number of trips
to the plate tell his real value to
ball club?
The recent trade of Derrill Pratt
to the Yankees makes this subject
interesting.
Pratt has never been regarded
as a great hitter. Only on one
occasion has he crept into the 800
class ald then only by the scanti-
est of margins.

umns. With fast man on bases
ahead of him there are few of his
clouts which are not good for two
bases for the baserunner.
Pratt is only one example Of the
fallacy OF batting averages to show
the worth of batters.
Wally P,pp has never broken
into the 900 class, yet he is one
of the hardest hitters in the Amer
lean league. There are few bat
tiers in the National league who
rank with Cy Williams as a hard
hitter, yet he has seldom broken
into the 800 class.
Batters of this class are often
more valuable in driving in runs
than the speed merchant who piles
up an average well'over 300.

Yet looking at Pratt's batting
from all angles he is one Of the
most dangerous hitters in his
league.
When Pratt connects with the
ball he hits it hard. He Is not a
slugger, but his hits are usually
very long singles or doubles. He
is not a speedster on the bases and
his singles must be longer than
those of fast men like Cobb,
Speaker or Collins. He bats from
the right side and this also makes
him slower than the left-handed
batter.
Pratt is a potential 800 batter
but the extra .020 or OPS per cent
do not get into the percentage col
