PALE HOSE DROP z WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1920 Hg GAME TO GIANTS Mash Cazei's Usually Effective Arm Cubs Lose to Reds Tie for League Honors Stumps; CLOSE FIGHT FOR LEAD Victory for Reds and Giants Next Wednesday Would Mean Triple Tie for League Honcrs The outcome of the indoor tuss at Community House Wednesday evening was both unexpected and cx- pected. The expected happened when the fighting Reds took a chunk out of ihe | hide of Kassner and the ferocious Bears handing them a 9-7 defeat. The unexpected happened when the Giants won their second straight game by defeating the noble but ab- sent White Sox in a one-sided argu- ment 10-3. it was the first time the Giants defeated the Pale Hose and they were real happy about it. The first game started with Flossie Vottz and his fabor gang hammering out three runs in the first two ses- sions the while the Cubs. were decid- ing whether to try to hit the hall or det it go by and take a Fossie's wildness. Flossie double- crossed tiicm however 'as the two goose eggs in the opening innings show. ' Temporary Spasm In the third period the Cublets en- 4oyed a temporary spasm and aided by, several errors were enabled to tie the count Their good fortune was short fived however as the wearers of the Bolshevik colors cqunted twice in the fourth and a i of more in the fifth while the lokers were annexing one more to thieir collection. In the sixth inning the Reds were coljtent with one run and another in the seventh. The Bears captured th¢ir usual nothing in their half of the !'sixth but by breathing hard and Hg a brace of runs over in the last in- iy Flossie evidently had something for his dinner which did; not agree with him as he struck out only twelve men. Unfortunately for him the game was irtailed several in- niggs or he might have annexed his uswdl sixteen, ~ ¢ Kassner Hits Slump! Kassner seeted to he afflicted with a dose of wood alcohol judging from atred. Flossie struck him men on bases, he sner would be the the starting sta- tion! Soinehow while whiffing three times he annexed two hits, He mar- red the one however when he at- tempted to stretch it into a double in the seventh with two men down. He might have succeeded too if he had thrown the bat at Flossie who was standing cn the base line with the pill in his mitts waiting for the on- coming base runner. Kassner was as blind to the fact that Flossie had the ball as an ostrich with its head in the sand. y Cazel seemed to Blossie and Ray be contented with a quartet of hits Luenman and Dethloff had prayed that E next performe fo TY aniece three apiece while the losers' five hits webe well distributed among them- selves.

I like good moving pictures and should enjoy occasionally attending a chance on | zing much they managed to send | and every time hel | first-rate motion picture exhibition in | Winnetka. From the purely personal standpoint, therefore, I am heartily with those people who would like to |see a high class, well conducted mo- | ticn picture house in the Village. | From the standpoint of the c dren, however, 1 have been convin that any commercial [picture house in Winnetka, no matter 'how well conducted, would | menace. This is not because motion | pictures themselves are harmful--as | Superintendent of Schools I have procured one motion picture for | Winnetka through the Boy Scouts land am about to back the production {of another (Maeterlinck's Bluebird). | Thes dancer lies in the developing of (the "movie fan". { 1 have been told on excellent authority that no commercial mov- ling picture theater can be a success {unless it develops a considerable number of "movie fans". A "movie fan" is a child or adult who goes to ithe movies regularly every day. It lis the necessity of developing such a | habit on the part of our children which constitutes the menace commercial moving picture house. | If it were possible to have a mov- {ing picture theater open to adults ed he a only, except on certain é6ccasions-- motion | in a say one a week--when an appropriate ; there was picture for children, I should be inclined to back the pro- t » . ject. No moving picture theater | however, ca ak a comniercia hoy ever, can make a mnie 1 success under these conditions. To be successful the theaters must have the habitual attendance of a very considerable number of children. The habitual attendance of children at the movies is objectionable from several standpoints. In the first place it is impossible to secure pictures which are uniformly suit- lable for children. The bulk of mo- tion picture productions are based on material entirely unfit for the con- sumption of children. To feed such stuff to them would be equivalent to giving them books like Eleanor Clyn's "Three Weeks" as part of their 7th and 8th grede literature. No matter how rigid a censorship we might have we would be unable to secure 365 different films a year which would be harmless for children, yet sufficiently interesting to adults to make a commercial success of the moving picture theater. In the second place, habitual at- tendance at the moving picture theater means habitual lateness in going to bed. From the purely physi- cal standpoint this is bad for school children. o In the third place, habitual attend- | | Communication | | Winnetka Weekly Talk, Gentlemen: 1 have before me your issue of January 3, 1920, showing the Scheol Board Map, indicating the center of i population of netka. I should hate to think that this map with the article under it, is as unintentioned as it is actually mis- leading. This map was very carefully prepared it would be difficult to find a spot in thie entire Village which is more in- 'taccessible for a larger part of the po- ipulation both present and to come. Talk about centers of population | with reference to school locations {makes attractive sounding theories !but in Winnetka we have only one seems and it schoo! line put a transportation | ridiculous to as [portation and in this case, the cen- iter of population is shown as two blocks west of the Elm street station but the proposed new school is plac- ted five blocks away from the present center and seven blocks from any transportation present or future. We have recently had some very severe weather, how many of us {would care to have our children from 11 to 14 years of age be compelled to {walk even from Elm street station of ithe Electric line to the proposed site jof the new school at the West end of i Flim street, with the thermometer | registering zero or below. We are told that the center of population is moving west which is probably true, still no real reason so far as the writer knows has been advanced for {putting the new school at the very West edge of the Village, excent tha: a former school board bought site because it was cheap. I think that it is a fair question too, to ask if any consideratron has been given *~ the ranid growth of the Hubbard Woods district and the part of Win- would be compelled to use the elec- tric line to Elm street and then walk Most of us will admit that it would be ideal to have all of the higher grades in one school, but if our chi dren, because of the distance from the school, are obliged to miss many days on account of bad weather, the ladvantage of that plan is entirely lost, therefore, why not recognize he facts as they exist, and admit that because of nature and size of the Villagé one central school iz not feasible, either for the higher grodes. We have already three schocls each one on a plot of ground that will permit of addition to the pres- ent buildings.

If, however, as has been the case in all places where motion picture theaters have been success- fully established, a considerable number of children develop the movie habit, the opening of a commercial moving picture theater in Winnetka would unquestionably be a serious menace to the welfare of our chil- dren. ance at the moving picture theater means lack of home and family life. be going to the movies would be the only time when they could be read- ing or talking with their parents. All of these objections are based on the commercial necessity of de- veloping "movie fans". Some parents may urge that they would not think of allowing their children to become "movie fans".
