NO TRICKS USED BY
FOR STUNTS

Nothing annoys William S.. Hart
more than that anyone should have
the impression that his feats of
reckless craftsmanship are tricks of
the stage or of the camera. At the
conclusion of a particularly risky
episode this very calm and placid
gentleman will give vent to his fee
ings on this subject as ne moves
stitfly and uneG lily from chair to
sofa in his dressing room.
IN the latest drama a. Dudley's
Crera house Saturday tGeSe are
two remarkably daring stunts"
Hart p0r-rays a gambler who is
locked up iii a log jail on suspicion
ot havirg held up a stage coach,
of being THE Last of the Stage
Coach Bandits" An accomplice
outside furnishes a horse, and Hart
escapes from the Vigilantes just as
the moose is prepared and the tree
selected. A thrilling chase ensues.
When Hart breaks jail he jumps
astride the horse from height Of
twenty feet. This is a feat that
calls for the display of almost I'M
eXampled agility and horsemanship,
and it is safe to say that on other
living actor would attempt it.
The same episode shows horse
and rider at the end of TIE pursuit
rolling down a precipitous incline.
The camera never lies and modest
Bill Hart never attempts to exag
gerate his actual doings.

Dragons, Fafnirs and Independents
 Are Dropped From The City League
Commissioners Act When Teams Refuse to Play July 4th Games-Pirates Play Keeney A. c. at Park Tomorrow Afternoon.

The hectic life of the New Britain City league became more feverish last night and nasty consultation of the Public Amusement commission was called, the verdict of the consulting was necessary to preserve the health of the league. It was decided to am- putate three teams from the league. Secretary Bill March administered the ether and the surgeons sliced off the Dragons, the Independents and the Fafnirs. This is the second major operation since the league started, the first one having been necessary, league doctors said, when the Stanley Works were amputated after the first game.
 Seriously however, the Dragons, Fafnirs and Independents have been dropped from the league role because they declined to live up to the league schedule and steadfastly refused to play the games scheduled for the Fourth of July. It was charged be- fore the commissioners last night that some of the teams, presumably the ones mentioned, had fairly strong outfits but refused to play unless their best lineup was intact. This, the commissioners felt, was unfair for it made the league too one-sided and might amount to handing the title to one of the teams, possibly the Fafnirs, on a silver platter if they were per mitted to play only when they choose, which might be only when their strongest lineup was available.
 At any event, the league now con- sists of but six teams: The Pirates, the Rangers, the Falcons, St, Mary's, Berlin Construction and Cardinals.
 For tomorrow games originally were scheduled for the Dragons and Fafnirs and Independents and Pirates Of these, the Pirates alone were will ing to play.
 Pirates vs. Keeney 4. c.
 At the last minute, the Pirates were able to secure a home game with the Keeney A. C. Nine of Hartford and this game will be played at Walnut Hill park tomorrow afternoon at o'clock under the auspices of the public amusement commission. Slim" Politis is slated to do the twirling for the locals.
 The entire city league schedule now will be revised.

YALE BULLDOG NO LONGER

During Last Eight Months Eli Ath- letes Have Swept To Front More

By The Associated Press.
 New York, July 3.-The bulldog is no. longer the underdog in college ath- letics. Coming back after 8 medi- ocre showing in many branches of competition for several years, Yale during the last months has swept to the front in more fields of conquest than any other eastern institution.
 Cappng the climax of brilliant in- door season, the Ellis this spring have asserted their prowess in one of the greatest outdoor programs on record. Not only have they scored close to a clean sweep over their other rivals in the "big three" Harvard and Prince ton, but landed a majority of honors against all corners.
 Against an invasion from the far west that carried off two of the ma- jor college athletic crowns for the first time in history Yale was one of the main defenders of the east. z.....

Washington's gallant oarsmen dethroned the cham pion Naval academy eight in the in- tercollegiate varsity classic on the Hudson with Yale. undefeated and boasting one of the finest crews in history, alone in position to dispute the title claims of the Pacific coast entry.
