The morn- ng game eonsisted of a mild and scat- ered display of pyrotechnics, with the Bisons bagging a 5 to '4 triumph, but the afternoon contest developed the most blinding outbursts of batting sky- rockets, pinwheels, torpedoes, and what-not, that Buffalo fans have wit- nessed 'in a blue moon, with the locals Surying the Leafs under the over- whelming count of 17 tq 0, Starting out with "Lefty" Faulkner so-called ace of the Leafs mound corps, the Bisons shattered a trio of Toronto throwers for 22 hits, including doubles and a triple. "Bill" Huber, who has recently come under the cri- tical eye of grandstand managers for his throwing at third base, looked like a million dollar performer, starting several dazzling plays and leading the batting onslaught with fout_ husky wallops, including two doubles, hfour trips to the plate. Loses Cunning Faulkner, who has won thirteen games, was clubbed profusely for five indings, with the Bisons slugging out a 7 to 0 lead before he was relegated in favor of a pinch-hitter. It was the second straight defeat suffered by the big fellow. Nounan, a former collegian, succeed- ed to Faulkner's shaky throne in the sixth, and the Bisons immediately staged a miniature battle of Verdun when twelve-men went to the pan and cleaved out the greatest exhibition of divided with them, although the top ous with the bat, i i 4 Oshawa Railway" A mild surprise was handed out in the Industrial League last night when the Trimmers defeated the strong Oshawa Railway Company J nine by a 12 to 0 shut out. Hard! hitting on the part of the Trimmers as well 'as sterling work defensively! was responsible for this ane og score which was far from being the' expected result on account of the several deserved victories which have been recently hung up by the Railway men, The Trimmers got off fo a good start in the seecdnd innings when they netted two runs and continued to add to their lead in the fourth. fifth, seventh and ninth stanzas, the winth being their best when they chased across five counters before the 'third man had been retired. The runs werq fairly evenly divided, with two going to' Leydon, Lott, Bi- liott, Lowe and Goodall, while Fair and TFrink brought one apiece. Although the Railway men man- aged to gel a man as far as third on a few occasions, four to be exact, they seemed to lack the necessary punch to bring them out of the scoring 'vicinity and they were doom- ed to die there, or on their way, although in nearly every case there was only one or none out at the time. The honors were fairly well section of the batting line up proved by all means to he the most danger- The line ups were: Trimmers: --Fair, Leydon, Elliott, Frink, Lowe, Goodall, Kilburn, Mar- tin, Cooper, Lovelock, Lott, Oshawa Railway: --B, Olause, Knight, J.

BATTLES (Continued from page 1) sed by several: councillors, What the present st of negotiations was and what plans had been made to reach an ultimate settlement if one had not al- ready been reached was andther phase of the question on which at least half the council was in the dark. Despite these facts the council was just about to adjourn without a single word con- cerning the recent litigation having been mentioned, when Ald. 'D. A. Swanson in a sweeping address inguir- efl concerning the 'whole matter, here was a strong tendency on the part of several councillors 'to place the onus for what has becurred on the shoulders of Col. J. F. Grierson, city sdlicitor. His representitives in the matter came in for considerable eriticism. "T would like to know what has been 'done with egard to the Buitt- Wilkinson affair," Mr. Swanson 'began. "It is a fact that the «city has heen fined $300 and costs for disobeying an injunction and if it is a fact why have we no eport on the matter here to- night? I learn from the press that there was a case against the city heard in Court and that the city was fined but are the members of this council to have the press as their sdle source of information on such matters? What has 'been done regarding this matter and what is going to be done? Is the matter settled or not? As a member of this council, T am willing to take my share of the responsibility but I protest against any motion heing launched unless I'm made a party to it by being in the discussion. I ask why, by whom, and on what authority we were represented at the hearing and what any committee proposes to do and if there is none for the purpose I propose to move that one be named. We are the ldughing stock of the pro- vince and while I am willing to share the responsibility I want to know what is being done." Then looking towards the Mayor, Mr.. Swanson added, "I submit your leadership demands you tell council what the situation is." Reviems Action Ald. Hart, chairman of the Board of Works offered a few words of ex- planation. He referred to the fact that some time ago Messrs. Butt and Wil- kinson had secured a judgment for $6,000 damages against the city be- cause their lands had been overflown hy the creek containing objeétionable material from the city drains. On ap- peal the amount had heen reduced to $1,500 but at the same time an in- junction was granted restraining. the city from using the drains after May 1, of this year. "The Board of Works" stated Ald. Hart, "made what efforts Mr. Butt who was then in England, reurned. "But the solicitor did not advise us as strenuously as he should 'have. He should have hammered into us what it 'theént" declared Ald Hart. Ald. Johnson asked why it was neces- sary 'to 'await the return of Mr. 'Butt. He had his representative here and he could have been conférred with, he said, 3 Ald. Stirling voiced that the solicitor should have advised and kept at the council and Ald. Swanson regretted that in securing a legal representative for 'the city dt 'the hearing, Col. Grier- son hat ndt chosen a man of wider experience. Following this the Clerk reading from the minutes showed that a letter had been received by council from Col. Grierson on Feb. 7. in which J. he drew attention to the necessity of making some provision in this matter before May Ist. It was further shown that the next report of the Board of Works committee contained the order that the Solicitor advise the Hydro- Electric Commission that they were prohibited from dumping oil in the drans. The information was supplied that the Hydro on receipt of such ad- vise denied using the drain for such purpose. Previous Ingillents Ciel Some of the incidents leading up to the serving of the hotice were given by City Engineer W, C. Smith, who stated that on March 24 last he, aware of the injunction, went to the solici- tor and pointed out that it would be necessary to wash the streets dlthongh this would be disobeying the injunction. The solicitor stated that the city had agreed not to. But the streets were covered wtih the accumulated filth of the winter and were in an unhealthy condition so the Engineer went to the M.O.H. who issued the order that the streets he washed. Mr. Smith com- plained that the newspapers have crea- ted the impression that the city had done absolutely nothing to stop. the nuisance. The: stream, he said, had been clarified by placing a separator in it. This machine removed the oil in no uncertain manner and several barrelfuls had been salvaged. As evi- dence of the purity of the water on May 7, the Engineer showed council a lusty goldfish swimming ahout in a jar containing water which had heen taken from the creek on May 7 last. At this point the matter was brought to a head by the introduction of the following motion by Aldermen Swan- son and Johnston: "That the city soli- ditor be instructed to lay all matters in .connection with the Butt and Wil- kinson actions before counsel and ask for a written opinion as to appeal and as to the rights of the city against the Hydro-Electric Power Commission and in the event of being so advised 'to apply for a fiat and commence action against the Hydro-Electric, the city solicitor 'to secure either A. C. Rowell; W/ N. Tilley or I. F. Hellmuth as coun- £61" I he motion carried. xaagnimey SEVENNIES IP Sets New Mark for 'Seaplane Meight--As Far as 1t Would 'Ga Washington, July' 4.++Flying to a height of approximately seven miles above the Capital. in ,the Wright "Apache a servige type: naval fight- er seaplane, Lieut. Carlton C. Cham- pion, Jr., naval aviator, 'attached to the Naval Bureau of Aeronautics, to- day established a new world's alti- tude record fora seaplane.

The of- ficial record will not be known until the barographs have been examined and calibrated 'hy the Burean of Standards tomorrow. The correc- tions may change the record upward or downward hut it is not expected that it will be brought down more than about 1,000 feet. Even if it should he lowered that much due to drift or wind, or for other reason, the distance will stand nearly -a mile higher than any man has yet gone in 'a seaplane carrying a pontoon. Lieut, Champion broke his own record, which he made on May 6, flying the same plane from the nav- al air station at Hampton Roads, Va., when he went up 83,455 feet, Today's flight was made from the Naval Air Station at Anacostia and the weather was perfeot, Lieut. Champion, who has heen making a series of tests of altitude flying con- ditions, wore garments especially fit- ted for the cold climate he found aloft. His 'face was encased in a furlined, leather helmet, and he wore special goggles which were constructed in sueh a manner as would keep the moisture from freeg- ing on the lenses. The flight was one in a series of experiments that have heen connec- ted with this type of plane. The "Apache" was used in the record of May 5.

Eight batters hit safely and seven scored without the aid of a hase on balls or anything that resem- bled an error. While Nounan was struggling vainly on the mound a raft of fire engines clattered past the park en route to a three-time fire, and the fans eraned their necks, expecting the hosemen to halt their chuggers at the park for Nounan's benefit. Cohen, Bissonette, Huber and Ponl spilled a quartet of two-baggers in the inning, with the last three clouting doubles in machine gun succession. Bissonette, Malone, Brainard and Mangum hit singles.

RKABLE FEAT BY CLIFF BRICKER Galt, July 4--This afternoon was "Bricker Day" at Dickson Park, when, in copnection with the final program of the Old Home Week, an athletic meet was staged, in which Galt's sen- sational distance runner was featured He in return treated a crowd of be- tween 0000 and 7000 persons, and Galt in particular, to his first exhibi- tion of how he won continental fame; by covering 10 miles in the fast time of 4-5, which, it is claimed, is a mew Canadian track record for the dis- tance. The course was surveyed this morihg. The race was for second place between McCluskey and Hughes of Toronto. Half way through the program there was a halt, while officers of the Galt ial and Old Home Week pre- sented Bricker with a beautiful lam. An added attraction was an exhibition 10-yard dash between Cyril Coaffee and "Buck" Hester of Michigan Uni- versity, in which the former won by a fraction in the remarkably good time s. flat, oyer an uneven turf and a cross wind 'BILL WITH SENATORS New York, July 4--Scoring 33 runs to their opponents' 2 in a doublehead- er today, the New York Yankees over- whelmed the Washington Senators, their nearest rivals for the American League lead.

Two round-trip blows by Lou Geh- rig, the walloping first baseman, fig- ured largely in the scoring, and gave him the lead over his teammate, "Babe" Ruth, in home-run hitting. Gehrig made No. 27 in the eighth in- ning of the first game and No. 28 in the sixth frame of the second, while the "Babe" failed to add to his 26. The doubleheader was played before nearly 75000 persons, one of the larg- est crowds that ever saw a baseball bill. Cleveland took both its home games from Chicago, 2 to 0 and 6 to 2.

BYRD ACCLAIMED BY MARSHAL FOCH Paris, July 4.--The peak of Com- mander Byrd's Paris triumph was reached tonight when Marshal Foch, ex-President Millerand, General Gouraud; M. Bokanowski, Minister of Public Works; M. Doumer, M Franchet and a hundred other mo- table Frenchmen joined with Am- ericans in cheering him and Clar- ence Chamberlin and their flying comrades at the American Cham- ber of Commerce dinner. "While I have to receive this won- derful reception from you tonight," said Commander Byrd. "I have known that I have not deserved il alone. I stand here in the name of, my three shipmates, Acosta, Noville and aBilchen, for if I deserve your applause they deserve more than 1." The Supreme Court decision puts the bootlegger in a privileged class. He is the only citizen who can be arrested for paying his income tax. --New Yorker, ved, it was a surprise to me as much as it was to the others," asserted Mayor Preston. "We, of last year's council knew of the situation but we did not know that we could be placed in jail. If negotiations were unsatis- factory we thought they could be con- tinued. I'm willing to share the blame for any transgression but I would like to say that our legal department did not notify us that the injunction meant what it did. The occurrence, I do not think reflects in any way on the leadership of the older members of council." Says Only Few Knew "I venture that not half o fthis coun- cil know what this business is all about," declared Ald Johnston. "What I would like to know is why was there no action taken at the time we had the judgment reduced to $1500. Why was settlement not made then or have they any other claim?" <e Ald. Schell wondered why the in- 'unction 'had not been extended to en- able the city to make suitable arrange- ments or continue negotiations. Ald Swanson charged that the coun- ail should have instructed the solicitor 1s to what action should have been various stages. "I don't mowknow who, but one thing sure is hat some person died on this job, asserted Ald. Swanson, who went on 0 point out that despite the discussion hus far, the council still was unaware »f what transpired in Toronto. Mf ae continue %to ignore the injunction re might, land in jail but some other wocedure would be more likely. 1 Itink the Mayor should have a report 'rom the city solicitors. I don't charge wm (the Mayor) with neglect but 1 hink someoshe with authority should wave demanded a report frqm the soli- itor." At this juncture Ald. Stirling brought 1p the question of stopping the Hydro- Hectric Cc ission from dumpi sil from the gas plant into the drains. . Hart replied that he had inter- siewed Chief Engineer F. A. Gaby of he Hydro who assured him that the sractice would cease. "They have jince admitted that they 'had been sutting oil in the drains," stated Ald. Hart. ' "There seems to be a.gap between he Solicitor and the council." con- finned Mayor Preston, "I think we should have him here at the meetings. f he thinks his salary is not sufficient or him to take that trouble then 1 vould suggest some rearrangement of he salary paid, if need be. The City "ngineer, Treasticer and Clerk attend wir meetifigs, and hte Solicitor should »e requested to."
