When Hollywood, Cal, awoke on

the celebration Of a safe and sane

the streets at the sunshine that flood
ed the pavements and sighed with re-
lief.
a few looked out on the flower-be-
decked back-yards. Among the latter
category were many who at first firm
ly believed one OF the many zoologi-
cal gardens maintained by the hun

Hollywood had "let loose" For
many a housewife received the sur
prise of her life to see saucy little
monkeys enjoying the scenery or
picking the oranges from the trees
in her garden.
A ZOO had "let loose in fact, and
over q hundred little monkeys Of all
varieties known in Africa were free
for the first time since their capture
on the Dark Continena six months
before.
How the monkeys came to roam
around the side streets of this inter-
esting California town was mystery
to the authorities until keepers from
the National Film Corporation OF

curious animals had slipped from
their cages during the night of the
fifth Of July. The monkeys were be-
ing used in the filming Of THE

Chester Bennett, who directed that

Earle Williams feature which will be
seen at the Elko theatre on Friday

luck. Australians who make their

types in this country, to say nothing
of California.
But he reckoned without the great
war. There were thousands Of An

country, Great Britain, and many
started to make their way back to
their homes by crossing the United
STATES, only to be so taken up with
California that they stopped there for
several weeks, some making it theil

BAN ON BALL FREAKS
HAS CAUSED HITTING
By Henry L. Farrell,

Oy AACuAy IL l. oAACAA
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Jan. 6.-When the ban
was applied to freak deliveries last
winter, John Heydler, president of
the National league, said:
swatch 'em hit next season."
They did hit all through the majors
and minors, according to the 1920
batting averages.
Forty-two players hit 800 or better
IN the American league, 20 in the Ma
tional league, 81 in the American as
ISOLATION and 26 in the Western
league.
Comparison of the last four years
shows almost double the number of
800 hitters in the American league.
In 1917 there were II, in 1918, 10;
in 1919, 81. and last season, AZ.
The National league barely went
over it's 1919 mark. Nine hit 800
in 1917, six in 1918, 16 in 1919 and
20 in 1920.
George Sisler, the brilliant first
baseman of the St. Louis Browns beat
all records since 1911 in the Ameri-
:an league when he batted .4O7. Only
twice has that mark been exceeded,
both times by Ty Cobb in 1910 and
in 1911, when he set the league rec
ord of APO.
Rogers Hornsby's mari, of $40 is
the best in the National league since
1912, when Heinie Zimmerman hit
for 1872.
Twenty batters since 1876, how
ever, have exceeded the mark made
by the St. Louis second baseman last
season including Hugh Duffy, who
made the record average of ABB in
1894.
Opinion is divided as to the cause
of the epidemic in hitting last season.
Some agree with the contention Of
President Heydler, that the ban on
the emery ball, the shine ball and 9TH
er freaks of pitching art made hitting
easier.
Others trace it to a "lively ball"
that was reported throughout the sea-
son to be in use by the major leagues.
The same thing was laid at the door
Of the Federal league but it will be
remembered that the best Benny
Kauff was able to do in the old "Reb-
ell Organization" was 1866 in 1914.
Ed Walsh, the old pitching star,
was among the many baseball au-
thorities at the recent major league
meetings who maintained that the in
crease in hitting was due to nothing
else but the weakening of pitching
bv the ban on the freak deliveries.
