With Denver two runs ahead as the Refners went to bat
in the seventh inning, it looked like a cinch that the hard

which has wrecked more games by one inning attacks than
any other club in the league, pulled the game out of the fire

cost of their operation, whether or not
there is duplication of effort. whether
the payrolls are padded with unneces-

to grab off fat dock commissions were
revealed and headed off in just that
manner. and those discussions resulted
finally in compelling the board TO
promulgate a policy preventing profit
eering on city dock leases.
An example of what was uncovered
momentarily at the board meetings was
the tenacity with which the Tamlnany
contracting firm of Rodgers & Haggerty
has been able TO hold on to iis Street
Cleaning Department contracts. Though
those discussions were most enlighten-
ing upon a situation which has not yet
been solved by the Hylan administration
namely, the unloading of ashes and
refuse at Rikers Island inquiry at the
Board of Estimate offices revealed that
there are no records of those discussions.
Though most of the battles over the
Rikers Island matter took place more
than a year ago. inquiry at the oinces
of the Board of Estimate revealed that
the stenographer's notes of the meeting
were never transcribed in order that
certain information regarding the nego-
tiations for the Rikers Island contract
might be located, 1t was stated that the
stenographer who took the notes had
gone on his vacation and that, there
fore. the notes could not be transcribed
The Importance of such records-anu
that importance is not overlooked by
Tammany Hall, because it was directly
through Tammany Hall influence that
the same information was shut OF
through at least one other department

gerty transaction.

AQUITANFA rs BEATEN
BY AMERICA IN RACE
Faster Ship Loses by Delay at
Quarantine.

The steamship Americas of the United
States Mail Line returned late yesterday
from Bremen, beating the faster Aqui-
tania, which had cleared from Southamp-
ton the same day. When the Aquitania
was held up at Quarantine the America
passed her with the band on deck play
ing 'frhe Star Spangled Banner and
IT'LL We Meet Again" The competition
between the two bouts was keen. and
much disappointment was felt when the
Aquitania passed the America off Nan
tucket Shoals. But the detention of the
faster ship more than discounted the adj
vantage.
Virtually all of the las first cabin
passengers signed a round robin express
ing satisfaction at the performance of
the boat and the service rendered by the
crew. Copies of the paper. which urge
support of the American merchant
marine, were given to Capt. William
Rind and Purser j. D. Irvine, while
other copies were sent to President Har-
ding and to Albert d. Lasker. chairman
of the Shipping Board
The announcement was made yester-
day that the America will sail for
Plymouth. Cheubourg and Bremen again
on August 81. The ship docked at pier

BLAME STENOGRAPHERS
Brilliance of Board of Esti-
mate Meetings May Be
Dimmed Forever.
MANY JOBS Barred, TOO
Tammany Pets With Eyes at
Docks Often Laid Out in
Forensic Battles.

Although the Board Of Estimate
pays a staff of stenographers to be on
hand at board meetings and take notes
of the proceedings, the records of most
of the tits between Mayor Hylan and
Comptroller Craig in the days when
city government never have been
transcribed from the stenographic
notes. Thus, with Mayor Hylan and
Comptroller Craig before the people
as running mates for reelection in
brotherly love dictated by Charles f..
Murphy, no record is left of the in
competency and political trickery that
they made against each other only a
few months ago.
The missing transcripts. it was
learned yesterday, include not only the
oral battles among the Mayor. the
Comptroller and the other members of
the board. but also the discussions of
many important transactions of the
city's business. In the records of the
Board of Estimate in the Municipal
Building there is contract after con-
tract and action after action by the
board, without anything to show the
reasoning by which the conclusions
were reached except routine reports and
resolutions with the recorded votes
thereon.
Those records. of course. in the ma
jority of cases will show what disposi-
tion was made OF matters but the per-
sonal ambitions and the political con-
siderations which were INDUCED or
slaughtered in arriving at that disposi-
tion are concealed. The acrimonious
discussions of the board and accusa-
tions by one member against another
served as a considerable safeguard
OF the public against any suggestion of
questionable dealing

BROOKLYN BOROUGH
BUDGET SHOWS CUT
Effect of Meyer Committee In
guiry Seen in $4,000 Re-
duction for Coming Year.

The pounding or the Meyer committee
on the extravagance and ineificiency of
the Democratic administration of the
city bore fruit yesterday when Edward
Riegelmann. President of the Borough
of Brooklyn. sent in his budSetary re-
quests for the coming year. Tho re-
quests, contrary to the scramble for
every penny possible last year. showed
voluntary reduction of S53.6 under
the amount allowed last year. The re-
quest showed also that the number OF
employees has been cut.
1t was regarded in Meyer committee
circles as a forerunner of wnat may be
expected from other Tammany office
holders in the way Of demands upon the

said, regards it distinctly as not a good
time to step heavily upon the public

the purpose of revealing the extrava-
gances of the administration.
There Is a probability that the aues-
tion of the city's debt limit and tax
limit raised by ex-senator Elon r.

tee, will be taken to court on a tax
payers suit to be determined definitely,
1t became known yesterday. The COM
mittee is known to be anxious that the
question be settled. since Mr.. Brown
has said that the city's financial so,i-
darity is involved.
Meanwhile. neither Mr.. Brown nor
Comptroller Charles L. Craig IS willing
to concede the accuracy of the other s
view in the matter, and both are pre-
pairing data for use in event OF suit
to have the court settle the question.
