The hectic life of the New Britain City league became more feverish last | night and a hasty consuitation of the| Pubiic Amusement commision was| | ealled, the verdict of the consulting | | physicians heing that an operation| | was necessary to preserve the health | | of the league. It was decided to am- | | putate three teams from the league. ether and the surgeons sliced off the Dragons, the Independents and the Fafn This is the second major operation since the league started, the first one having been necessary, | ; league dectors said, when the Stanley | Works were amputated after the first| game, | Seriously however, the | 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 fair strong outfits but refused to play unless their | best line-up was intact. This, the commissioners felt, was unfair for it made the league too one-gided 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 choos which might be on when the! strongest line-up was available. At any event, the league now con- sists of but six teams: The Pirates, the Rangers, the Fa . St. Mary's, Berlin Construction a ardinals. For tomorrow g 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 A. 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 3 St. Mary's playground tomorrow. In the afternoon the Besse-Leland nine will play the fast Federals of Hart. ford. The Federals -already have scored one victory over the B-L nine, but that was early in the season be- fore the locals got well under way. Tomorrow's fight should be a good one. The morning hours will be devoted to sports evemts among the younger set, one of the features being a game between the Cadets from St. Mary's and St. Joseph's parishes. The sporting events set are as follows: Seniors, 100-yard dash; running broad jump: running high jump; standing broad jump; hop step and | jump; volley ball throw for distance; | putting the shot, 12 Ibs. There will be tennis matches among the older | boys to decide who will play with the St. Mary's playground tennis team.

TITLE BATTLE IS NOT CALLED OFF - Agreement Reached When Kearns Promises to Go Through Without Final $100,000 If All Preliminary Expenses Are Guaranteed. By The Assoclated Press 4 Great Falls, Mont., July 3.—The world’s championship battle between Jack Dempsey and Tommy Gibbons, which has been off and on for the past several hours, was definitely restored and will be fought July 4 as originally scheduled, according to an an- nouncement at 2:45 o’clock this morning by Major J. E. Lane, one of the promoters following a lengthy conference with Jack Kearns, Dempsey’s manager. ) Lane, former judge Roy E. Aires and Loy Molumby, mem- bers of a committee which recently attempted to raise the final $100,000 of the Dempsey pre-payment, accepted Kearns’ last pro- posal that he would agree to go on with the fight if all the pre- liminary expenses at the Shelby arena were guaranteed. YALE BULLDOG N0 LONGER ot e UNDER DOG IN ATHLETICS During Last Eight Months El Ath- . letes Have Swept To Front More Than Any Other Collegians dy_The Assoclated Presw. New York, July 3.—The bulldog is no, longer the underdog in college ath- letics. Coming back after a medi- ocre showing in many branches of competition for several years, Yale during the last 8 months has swept to the front in more fields of conquest ‘than any other eastern institution. Capping the climax of a brilliant in- door season, the Elis 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 comers, 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. California rompéd off with the in- ter-collegiate track and field title for the third year in succession with Princeton and Yale furnishing the strongest competition. Washington's gallant oarsmen dethroned the cham- pion Naval academy eight in the in- tercolleglate 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. The Elis' reign among the “big three” virtually was supreme in row- ing, track and baseball. Besides the rowing miracles at New Haven ac- complished by Ed. Leader, Yale's (Continued on Following Page) Two World Reco?d? Broken In Power Boat Regatta Burlington, Iowa, July 3.—Two new world's records in the 104 and 151 classes were established at the regatta of the Mississippi Valley \Power Boat Assoclation this after- noon. Miss Quincy VI, owned by C. E. Padgett of Quincy, Ill, won the 151 class event in 8:20 for an aver- age of 36 miles an hour nosing out the Margaret 111, whose record of 34 miles per hour has held the cham- pionship for four years. In the 104 class, with a record of 28.12 miles an hour. Buddy, ownd by Phil Becker Jr. of Peoria, Ill, set a new record. The time was 5:17 2-5. The preliminary expenses guaran- teed by the promoters include the payment of the boxers of the prelim- inary bouts, $5,000 to Jimmy Dough- erty, the referee and other incidental expenses, which probably will amount to $3,000. Major Lane who resigned as trus- tee for the promoters after failing to raise Dempsey's $100,000 decided to continue as trustee and assist the promoters in untangling the muddle in the finances. Kearns will have Jurisdiction over all gate receipts until the champion’s $100,000 {s re- ceived. The gate receipts will then revert to the promoters, Molumby Back Again Molumby who signed the articles assuring the championship bout for Shelby today is back In control as promoter assisted by his associates who orginally conceived the idea of having Dempsey risk his title in the boom town of the plains. Mayor Jim Johnson of Shelby, who personally put $140,000 in the venture also is back. Johnson, who came back to Great Falls last night from Shelby remained in the banking institution of George Stanton president of the Stanton Trust and Savings Bank while frantic efforts were being made to save the fight for Shelby. Fight Actually Called Off The fight was actually called off at 12:30 o'clock this morning after an angry argument between Jack Kearns and Stanton in a room crowded with newspaper correspondents., Stanton appeared to tell Kearns that the $100,000 was not available and he saw no prospect of raising it. “I feel that Dempse, ought to fight” Stanton said. “He already has received $210,000. It is gruel to Gibbons that such a condition has arisen and in justice to the sport, it is my opinion that Dempsey should g0 ahead and fight.” Kearns declared he would accept $50,000 in cash at once and get the remaining $50,000 from the ' first money that went through the gate. Stanton advised that it was too late to consider any such proposal and that the $50,000 in cash was not avail- able as the $5,000 each pledged from the Montana business men who had at- tempted to ralse the money had been returned. Both Get Peevish Some of the correspondents asked Stanton point blank if his statement meant that the fight was off. “As far as I'm concerned it's off,” the banker replied. Kearns, his face flushed with anger, replied: “That's good enough for me; off."” it's (Conunued on Following Page) GOLF — TENNIS — FISHING TACKLE MON SN GoT A MATCH oscARrR 7 WHERE You GoOING o©N YouR VACAT(ON THIS YEAR JERRY 7 Yes [ HAvE NO MATCHES To DAY How's BUSINESS Yes, we Have GEORGE T, No DICTATION ToDAY IER’S orasons Yes—It Is Impossible To Carry On a Sane Conversation Today —— ANY PHONE \\JES | HAVE No VACAT(ON THIS YEAR YRnniNY Yes wE wave NO ORDERS To DAY CALLS WHILE [ WAS ouT 7 Yes THERE WERE NoO TELEPHONE CALLS WHILE You WERE AWA'R \ | New York, the big prices for of | o’clock under the auspices of public amusemsant commission. “Slim Politis is slated to do twirling for the July 3.— The day championship fights is a thing of the past $10 is the maximum admittance fee to be | charged at bouts at the Polo Grounds hereafter, Tom O'Rourke, match maker announced Monday Boxers and handwriting on to O'Rourke declared that a fight cr A Few of the Popular Sizes 20% off List J.
