At tha end of the fourth, Maple fa were leading by an 8 to 1 count un eight run rally by the Beav- ers in the fifth 'brought them up vu even terms and from this point ntil the finish it was a give and take affair that was anybody's un- 1:4 the very last minute. Two runs in the sixth, seventh while Beavers were enly gathering three in the sixth and two in the eighth gave the Leafs their v.ctory but they never had to work harder to ain a decision, Bril- lant pitching by Towns was again the king pin in the Leafs' win, no less than twelve batters falling a p oy to his shoots during the nine innings. Hard hitting by Goodall, D, Cornish, E. Cornish, Towns, Rob- inson and Crouse all went to help make way for the victory also. Four runs, including a homer, which were brought in by Goodall gave him the leading mark of the day. Ray Way and Milton brought in home runs for Beavers, one coming in the fifth and the other in the sixth, Hewitt and Way divided the ron getting honors with three aplece while two came from Knox and the remainder were divided among the other six players on the team, The line ups were: | Beaver oper, Gudson, Hew- itt, Way, McGill, Milton, Amshury, Knox and Luke.

The final score here was 7 to 2 with Don Songer, late of the New York (ants, earning the verdict. Two of the teams from the south came to life with a vengeance, Baltimore drubbing Buffalo and Jersey City spiking Syra- cuse's pennan t chances by running away from hte Stars. The north how- * ever oot an even break with Toronto ' and Rochester winning. Songer got away to a bad start, aflowing three hits, all in succession, in the first inning. These coupled with a walk to Dougherty, the lead-off man, gave the visitors one run. Then when Ocschier, the first man up in the sec- ond inning, doubled, Manager O'Hara sent his relief twirlers to the bull pen but Songer steadied away and proceed- ed to hold the visitors hitless until the eighth frame--in all the invaders made only two hits after that two-bagger in the second inning. Slappcy didn't do badly on the Recadmg mound but his support was ragged, two errors paving the way for three runs. Loose work also accounted for two others and all in all the Key: stone hurler wasn't to blame. He bek batsmen like Walsh, Jacobson and Harrington hitless and two o fthem ar: right-handers who generally fatter their averages at the expense of south: paws like Slappey. CRICKET NOTES By L. L. F.

STOP PUSSEXFOOTING Toronto fis spending millions at this very time to bamish level cross- ings from the water-fromt, and will spend more in other parts of the pity. The level crossing is danger- ous, and steps are necessary, but the deaths from motor accidents are much more numerous, and yet offi- sialdom fails to respond. As Sir Thomas White says, if the railways or the medical officers of health by Aheir negligence contributed to a toll of deaths such as comes from reck- less motoring. the public outcry would be heard from coast to coast. iit is time to stop pussyfooting. The laws and reguidtions should he strengthened and enforced, and the Mangerous minority who make life for others a period of lincreasing nncertainty, should be taught the jesson that will bring safety back to our streets and highways.

BRITISH RAILWAYS TAKE TO HIGHWAYS Legislation Sought to Enable Them to Compete for Motor Traffic (By Canadian Press) London, Aug. 26.--"Get out up- on the roads yourselves." This is the exhortation which is now being addressed to directors of British railways when they bewail the in- creasing dnd---as they allege--un- fair competition to which the rail- ways are subjected from motor transport. Seemingly the companies are taking the advice to heart, for they are jointly about to promote a Bill in Parliament to enable them to compete freely in road °trans- port. It is hoped by the railways that powers will be obtained under which the companies may develop road services as feeders to the rail- ways themselves. Separate efforts towards this end have previously been made. The North-Western and Midland companies promoted a measure some few years back, but it was withdrawn because the Ministry of Transport insisted that the compamies must not charge less upon the road than upon their railways. The London and North-Eastern Company announce a new experi- ment in rail transport in the near future which they claim will meet the public need for more intensive passenger services, and which will be applied wherever road competi- tion is being felt acutely. The experiment will be with steam rail coaches, single carriage vehicles embracing engine and coach in ome, capable of accommo- dating 65 passengers. At first the oaches will be run in the industrial districts of the North, but it is likely that they will be employed subsequently on London suburban services during the slack times of the day and on the less congestec lines 14 The past few weeks of the holi day season have been marked by ar abnormal number of road accidents The railway companies have issued a motice which, rather unctuously. it is pointed out that not a single railway passenger lost his life or even was injured in the same per- fod.

' Duelling Popular in Brunswick Capital When It Was a British Army Post --Many Stories of Affairs of Honor in Old Days Fredericton, -{.B., Aug. Away back in the good old days when Fredericton was a British army post and the 'Redcoats lent color to the streets of the little New Brunswick capital, the noble pastime of duelling was persistent- ly ahd enthusiastically indulged in by the best regulated families. The hills back of the eity provided fav- orite meeting places for gentlemen who thirsted after each other's blood. An interesting survival of that age of ready pistols is to be noted in the fact that the city limits ex- tended far pack into the hills, In cluding, much farm anl bush lan¢ Fhe limits were 10 extended L the civic authorivies in a laudab' affort to discourage the duellin hahit. In this they were more o less successful, the gentry not aj preciating a five-mile ride over ba roads as a preliminary to an affah Honour within Lue wide fiun town limits they were of course | able to unwelcome interruptio from the town constabulary-----suc as it was. Though the died out in Fredericton a goo century ago, old residents still r member talk of challenges and el counters and can point out spot on Maryland Hill where honor wa vindicated in properly romanti style. Of course the presence of off. cers af the regular army, for who! duelling still constituted an integral part of daily life in the early year the nineteenth century, wen far toward making = the practic popular in Fredericton. It is als rumored that the dashing captain and subalterns played such havo with the affections of civilian' wives that those with fair names t uphold were forced to oil up thei pistols and send their friends call at the officers' quarters or b. for ever shamed. Fortunately for the old familie of the capital few of the meeting ended fatally. An exchange of shots was usually sufficient salve fo wounded honor. Occasionally gentleman was mysteriously con fined to his house for a few weeks to appear finally tastefully dec orated with bandages, or the regi mental surgeon was called upon t dig a bullet from the shoulder o some fire-eating captaip, but foi the most part the encouters wen innocuous exhibitions, staged witi all pomp and ceremony in the pre 26 - custom of duellin vi vailing army. style. Not all were so fortunate in thei | sue, however.

It was this traged: which applied the final wet blanke to the revered tradition of "'pisto for two---coffee for ome" in Fred ericton. A memorable lawsuit fought ou PISTOLS FOR TWO; WAS TRADITION IN FREDERICTON New COFFEE FOR ONE; verbally in the Frederieton court- house, resulted in two duels--the defendant challenging 'the com- plainant and counsel for each party staging a secondary event on their own. Whatever was the result of the meeting at the bar of justice, those in the woods back of the town terminated without blopdshed. TL MEAT AND TOBACCO FOR OLD LONDON WORTH MILLIONS British M.P's and Other Au- thorities Get Their Eyes Opened at Vast Business London, Aug. 26.--The Port of London is notorious for self-con- cealment. To few eyes and under- standings does it reveal its vast- ness, its world supremacy. But af- ter an observation of the traftic of he Thames and riverside Industry, :onvietion began to creep into minds f members of both Houes of Par- liament and members of the Port of London Authorities on a recent visit when the steamhoat turned in- to the new King George V. Dock, and thence progressed to the Vic- oria and Albert Docks. The long vistas of ocean-going vessels were leeply impressive when viewed from the deck of the little inspec- tion craft, though they indicated, f course, hut a part of the work of the Port, To give an idea of another part, the visitors were taken over the new cold storage department, where the distribution of meat has been mmensely advanced by modern de- vices. Over 70 per cent. of all the Jmeat fmported into the United Kingdom is handled in London; ind the cold storage accommodation is equal to over three and a half million carcasses of mutton. It appears, however, that the propor- tion of imported meat to the whole of the meat eatening the country is apt to be exaggerated, as London consumes very much more chilled meat than the rest of the country, A curious feature is a decrease in rabbits from Australia, which bes ore the war amounted to 30 mil- lions a year and now have fallen tg fewer than ten millions. The rea« son is that Australia has found more Jrofit in rabbit-fur than in rabbits flesh. Lord Ritchie, the chairman of the Authority, gave some particulars of the port in an after-luncheon speech, Last year the tonnage reached close upon 50 millions; and, whereas the tonnage of all other British ports sank, that of London 'ncreased by 4.7 per cent. The val- ue of the imports and exports in 1925 (the last year for which fig- ures are available) amounted to 745 1-2 millions sterling. Two items were singled out for mention---the store of iodine, worth £2,385,000, practically the world's supply; and that tobacco, valued at 50 millions sterling. : Solicitor (to debtor at Bow Coun- ty Court): "You seem to expect your wife to work and pay your debts?"
