It is the opinion of many that the Federation have a little on the Hill team, but this series as the Hill team feel confident | they can trim the Streets and show up the conclusions that some of the fans have drawn It has been inti- mated to the writer that the Hill man. ager will use outside players, but he says such is not the case, and he be- lieves it is a way to sidetrack the Hill team challenge. The Hill manager assures the Street team he will not use ringers, so it is up to the Federation team now to start something.

AIRDOME LICENSE QUESTIONED, FIGHT
 PICTURES ARE OFF
Police Say Airdome Had no License to Give Any Motion Picture Exhibition

James F. Lee, representing the Jeff ries-Johnson fight pictures, ordered bill posters to cancel his contract last night and left Bridgeport abandoning the idea of presenting the much mooted films in this city.
 MT. Lee had planned to hold the ex- hibitfon at the Airdorne theatre, State street and Colorado avenue, and had made arrangements when he discovered that there was a flaw in the license of the motion picture men who had con- tracted to present the exhibition here.
 It had been held that the pictures were not such as could legally be dis continued, providing they were exhib- tied in a place regularly licensed for motion picture exhibitions, and when Mayor Buckingham and the police took a stand against the pictures 1t was in tinated that the matter might be car ried to the courts. /
 When MT. Lee learned for the first time yesterday that the police were planning to stop the pictures on the ground that the Airdome was running without a license of any kind, as is required by law, he promptly discon- tinued his plans.
