Stunt Man
Will Make
Five Drops
Patent Leather Kid to
Make ,BaIlon Hop at
Riverside,

When Claude Shafer, the Patent
Leather Kid" parachute jumper,
leaves the ground Sunday afternoon
ct Riverside amusement park for
his f1ve-parachute leaps, his father
will cut the rope that releases the
immense hot air bag for its skyward
trip.
This, however, will be nothing
new, but rather a strict rule in the
Shafer family. The elder Shafer
has three sons in the parachute
jumping profession, and he always
starts them on their aerial jour
neys. Years of experience In the
balloon racket" have given him the
right to decide when a balloon is
ready to go, and balloon men gen
orally over the Middle West con-
cede that he knows best when to
cut" especially when his owns sons
are riding the sack" as they term
ascensions.
Five parachute drops, apparently
the limit for aerial stunt men, will
be the Patent Leather Kids pro-
gram Sunday. In a week or so, he
plans trying six drops, but veteran
balloon men are attempting to dis
suade him from the hazardous at
tempt, claiming it is impossible for
hot air balloon to reach the height
necessary for such feat.
Since the weather turned warmer,
Riverside has been enjoying an era
of popularity almost unequalled in
the parks history of twenty-five
years. The free ZOO. with its big
black bears and capering monkeys,
is being visited by thousands, while
the free checking service and free
parking for autos, together with the
free attractions booked each week
end combined with the free adj
mission to the park at all times
to both children and adults, are
causing crowds to visit Riverside
this summer.

FLORENCE VIDOR
AT THE APOLLO

Adapted from popular French
stage farce, 1.-THE Magnificent Flirt,
the feature of the new program at
the Apollo starting today, stars
Florence Vidor in a role that is
perfect fit to her talents as a come
dienne. 49, -L.---.- -
. Miss Vidor appears as Madame
Florence Laverne, a confirmed,
heart-smashing f1irt, a resident of
Paris addicted to the gaieties and
frivolities of the French capital.
Though legion of admirers sur
round her, it is only natural that
she finally falls in love, the object
of her affection being the debonair
Count d'Estrange.
Adept at the game of hearts, the
count is not any too sure of
madam's fidelity, and when he
catches her being kissed by another
man, even though his own nephew,
sutton of madam's pretty daughter,
the count balks, the romance goes
glimmering, and situations develop
that are attended by much hilarity
before the clever madame hits upon
an effective plan of action to re-
store the counts confidence.
H. d'Abbadie d'Arrast, French
man who knows the modes and
moods of modern Paris, directed the
picture in which Miss Vidor is sup
ported by Albert Cont, Loretta
Young, Matty Kemp, Marietta Mil
ner and Ned Sparks.

New York. May , UP)-Remoycd as treasurer of the National F,xhib,- ''oh company. owners and operators or the New York Giants, by a vote or three stockholders, Judge Francis A. McQuade has announced he would take court action against fresldent Charles A. Stoncham of the New York Giants.
 Offllcals of the Giants announced the dropping of Judge McQuadc as a move "in order 10 create greater harmony between the business man. asement and the playing manage ment of the team"
 In many quarters. McQuade's re- moval was taken to mean that the former treasurer of the Giants got Tn bad over his stand on the Rogers Hornsby trade. It was publicly known that NcQuade disapproved of the manner in which Hornsby was shipped to the Braves for two young but unknown players, Hogan and Welch. McQuade. it was said at the time, did not know Hornsby va to be traded and was not consulted until after the deal had been con- summated.

Speaking e of Sports

Aue oeclslou or the FalcOnS to en- ter the Connecticut State Baseball league will be welcome news to most oi the followers of the team in this city. Not only will it furnish the fans here with the opportunity of seeing real baseball played in New Britain. but it will assure Of regu- lar line of games against real good teams.
 kensington will. without a doubt, enter the league and this furnishes two natural rivals in the same cir cult. Kensington and the Falcons have battled on even terms for the past few seasons without either team getting a real decision over the other. The play of the clubs in the Connecticut league will certainly de- eide which holds the supremacy.
 Baseball is due to experience a rise in favor this year. For several seasons, little interest has been shown in the work of the teams in this city. but tho situation, it is ex- pected. will be different this year.
 What will become of the Central Connecticut league? That question has been asked by many here, but 1t remains unanswered. According to the dope. the league is due to peter out because of the fact that the jn- terest of new teams in joining the circuit is negligible,
 Four teams were ready to enter the circuit, namely the Moriden h. silcos, Lenox of WallinsforJ, Corbin Red SoN of this city and the PeNtos of Southington on. 4 four team league would be worse than no league at ell and because of the fact that two more teams cannot be secured 10 enter, it begins 10 appear as if there will be no Central Connecticut league.
 One of the best bets in some years Is the formation of the fraternal soft ball league with eight teams en- tered. This is one sport in which re- liEious and racial lines will be en- tirely cast aside and closer and more harm onious feeling ls bound to be created through the movement.
 Besides this, there is going to be | plenty of rivalry between the teams in the circuit and already several of them are out praCtiClng for the l opening of the season, There is a pack of fun in the game, and ac- cording 10 the talk Of the members l of the various fratornsl organiza- tons. they are going 10 get the most out of it.
 We want 10 see the girls playing 1 baseball again this year. The girls i industrial leaC,lc last year was an l immense success and the attendance ! Of the fans showed 1t.
 There ought 10 be more girls | playing baseball than there are. 1 With the soft ball, it is great sport | for the misses and spectators get l a lot of fun out of watching the 1 teams ill action.
