SUNNY CHIMES MUCH
HELP TO BALL STARS
Many of Big League Players
Come From South or Coast.
Frank Chance and Ty Cobb Think the
More a Youth Plays the Better
He Progresses-Small Town
Affords More Room.

In recent years many of the major
league stars have ONE from either
the sunny south or the Pacific coast.
incidentally q great many of the
big stars In baseball call some small
town home, rather than the big cities.
How so? Does the south and the
Pacific coast offer more possibilities
for the development of ball players?
Is there more chance for the small
town youngster than the big city kid?
During the recent meeting of the
American league in Philadelphia the
question was put to Frank Chance,
who halls from California, and Ty
Cobb, who is the outstanding figure
In baseball from the south.
Both seemed to have the same view
point. 1t was this:
The more you play baseball the
better you progress. The climate in
the south and on the coast makes 1t
possible for the youngsters of those
two sections to play the national pas
time two or three months longer than
Is possible in other parts of the coun-
try.
Both agreed that in the small town
baseball was the chief amusement of
most youngsters because there was
little else to do. Also there was more
room to play than the big city usually
affords.
There you have the opinion of two
of the big stars of the game on why
the south and the coast produce a
majority of the stars, and why the
small town boy has a better chance
at baseball than his big city brother.

ROBIN HOOD TO SHOW
FOR NEXT TWO WEEKS
AT STRAND THEATRE
Problem Of Lighting Most
Difficult In Filming
Picture

Never before in the history of mo-
ton picture making has there been
used so much electricity for lighting
purposes as was necessary in pro-
ducing Douglas Fairbanks in Robin
Hood" which is announced as the
feature at the Strand theatre for two
weeks, beginning at $40 o'clock
Monday morning.
The amount of electric power con-
sumed in one afternoon properly to
illuminate the banquet hall set" in
King Richards castle was sufficient
to light the city of Los Angeles for
seven hours any night. when it is
taken into consideration that all this
brilliance was needed to photograph
one scene which is shown on the
screen only a minute or two. there
should be no difficulty In realizing
the tremendous proportions of the
problem Of lighting Il big film pro-
duction.
Two full months were required by
Bert Wayne, illuminating engineer.
in order to make the preparations
for starting douglas Fairbanks In
Robin Hood" and he had at his COM
mand $50 of the best electricians OBJ
tainable. After the actual shooting"
began he was able to reduce his
force of assistants to rs men. but
these were kept busy every working
hour.
One of Mr.. Wayne's most valuable
aides was Parnell Eide, who invent
ed the larger lamp with a 100000
kjlowatt capacity. Ten Of these
were built in order to produce the
required million power.
A total of $4,000 feet of heavy cop
per wire was used and as many as
$50 lamps were required for light
for O single scene, not including 40
sun arcs.
Besides. 20 baby arcs were used
for the castle interior. being in the
picture. To round out these lighting
facilities was one 36-inch field piece
such as was used by the United
States army for Illuminating wide
areas of camps. In order to handle
all this electrical power it was nee
essary to install six extra and spe-
cial power plants and the Los An
geles Electric company was obliged
to enlarge their carrier cables to
take care of a 25.0oo-ampere Juice"
load.
