provided more financial backing to the Conservative party than to the Liberals, Elections Canada figures show.The Tory government has passed a law increasing drug patent protection for up to 20 years \u2014 over objections from the opposition Liberals, provincial health ministers, some health-care groups and manufacturers of cheaper, generic drugs.The legislation cleared the Commons in December and was approved by the Senate in February.The Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of Canada, representing brand-name drug companies.contributed $17,588.30 to the Conservative party and $9.601.70 to the Liberal party in 1992, according to Elections Canada figures released this week.Liberal MPs have sharply criticized the drug patent law, which allows brand-name companies to sell some pro-

neighborhood of Wes- tmount had the highest percentage of taxpayers \u2014 18 per cent \u2014 who declared more than $100,000 in annual income in 1991, Statistics Canada reported Tuesday.But Westmount was followed closely, for the second year inarow, by arural route in the fast-growing Toronto suburb of Aurora, which had 17 per cent of tax filers in that lofty income bracket.And Ontario \u2014

women increased from 1986 to 1991, the increase for women outpaced that for men, particularly in the latter years of that period.Overall, median total income for women increased 26 per cent in the province, while male median total income rose 17 per cent in that time.® A total of one per cent in the province had annual incomes above $100,000 in 1991.The highest percentage of taxfilers in Canada with annual incomes of more than $100,000 came from Westmount.\u201cOf the 10 postal areas with the highest percentage of high income earners, eight are in Ontario, one is in Montreal (Westmount) and one is in Calgary,\u201d said the report.Seven of the eight Ontario neighborhoods with the largest percentage of high income earners were in Toronto, including the posh Rosedale neighborhood.Andy Mitchell, program director of the Social Planning .Council of Metropolitan Toronto, said the numbers simply confirm that Toronto is still the economic centre of the country.But he said although the

is like a walk through a time warp, but time is quickly running out for the Wellington street businessman.Sherbrooke\u2019s downtown development committee has given Bastiani verbal notice he has until August 17 to vacate the leaky-roofed building he rents at 164 Wellington Street narth, across from City Hall.¥They call that development?Putting people out on the street?\u201d the visibly agitated Bastiani wondered as he wandered through the water- damaged books in the former Greenberg\u2019s building.\u201cI'm 45 years old.If I have to leave this building and start up somewhere else, I'm finished.\u201d The Comité de développement du centre-ville is negotiating with a private company to invest $300,000 to renovate the building and turn it into a fas- hion-design centre.The city signed a contract in June to buy the building from the Montreal real estate firm Raymer for the symbolic sum of one dollar.In turn the city agreed to give Raymer a tax- deductible receipt for charity of $748,000.La Tribune reported Monday the committee may also move the community radio station CFLX into the premises.\u201cThey haven\u2019t even told me by letter that I'm supposed to be out of here, and then I read in the paper that a radio station is moving in,\u201d he said.\u201cThey\u2019re stepping on my rights.\u201d Bastiani and his wife Michèle Fortin have been getting a reduced rate on the $3,500 per month rent they pay to Raymer because the roof leaks.He said he can\u2019t afford to pay for the estimated $125,000 to repair the roof.and has had to deal with water-damaged books, prints and magazines for more than a year.\u201cWe\u2019d get up at four in the morning this winter and empty barrels of water upstairs, then come down and mop up,\u201d Fortin said.City councillor Serge Paquin said Tuesday he thought the contract was supposed to take effect last week.Paquin said the city would be glad to allow Bastiani to stay if it could make the money back on its investment, but said he doubted the bookseller could afford it.\u201cIf we have to remove a te- ans fa By Brooke Grantham André Ouellette.Educational role.: Nessie the Hereford will soon have a chance to strut her stuff in front of hundreds of admirers \u2014 the 108th annual Sherbrooke fair is on its way.Organizers promise that unlike fairs a decade ago, this year\u2019s show, which runs from Tuesday Aug.3 to Sunday Aug.8, will focus on agriculture, arts and handicrafts.René Ouellette, general manager of the fair, says this change of focus is important because the 3600 farms in the Eastern Townships contribute $350 million to the area\u2019s economy every year.Ouelette also stressed the educational role of the fair.\u201cThis year we want to have an impact on kids \u2014 to show them what agriculture really is,\u201d he said at a news conference Tuesday.In the 1980s, the fair was much larger and used big stars and rides to attract visitors.But the fair also had problems staying in the black, Sherbrooke Fair gets ready to roll which threatened its very survival.Many attribute the fair\u2019s more recent success to downsizing and the renewed focus on agriculture under the leadership of fair board president Bernard Prévost.\u201cI think that\u2019s what saved it,\u201d says Newport Township dairy farmer Barry Parsons, who has exhibited cattle at every Sherbrooke fair since 1956.\u201cAt one time the public didn\u2019t even know about the Hereford shows,\u201d he said.Fair organizers \u201cweren't even advertising them.\u201d The fairs also couldn\u2019t compete with new forms of entertainment like VCRs and vi- deogames, according to former fair president David Price.\u201cIt\u2019s too simple a form of entertainment, where you have to get up, walk through an area and go on rides,\u201d Price said.He applauds the new back to basics approach.Judges will be scrutinizing several breeds of dairy and beef cattle, poultry and other small farm animals, honey, maple and dairy products, field crops and handicrafts.But other attractions do still exist.There will be demolition derbies on Tuesday and Sunday, a casino that runs from 2 p.m.to 2 a.m.every day of the fair, monster truck shows on Thursday and Friday, and a special medieval horse show on Saturday.And there are always the rides, too.But don\u2019t forget to visit Nes- sie.She\u2019s a champion Hereford cow

men.\u2018\u2018The rate of increase in men\u2019s median total income has actually slowed since 1987-88,\u201d said Statistics Canada.But women still lagged badly behind men when it came to overall

MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 A T1- year-old man who was first acquitted then convicted of sexually assaulting a 65-year- old woman has been sentenced to one year in jail.Henri Daviault was acquitted in April 1991 when a judge ruled he was probably too drunk to form the minimum intent required for a criminal offence.But last February, the Quebec Court of Appeal convicted him of attacking the woman in her apartment.The court ruled no amount of voluntary intoxication can be used as a defence against a crime such as sexual assault.Daviault is free on bail pending an appeal of his conviction to the

Tory goverment\u2019s obvious love for the business community.Free trade, the NAFTA and other supportive legislation have been held up by Conservatives as necessary to Canada\u2019s economic recovery.But at what price?Most would agree that the worldwide economy has been in a shambles during the Tories\u2019 two terms in office.And most today would probably wonder whether the Liberals would have done things any differently.But a news item Tuesday revealing drug companies preferred filling Tory coffers over their Liberal counterpart strikes a particularly sour chord.Elections Canada figures show that time after time major drug manufacturers preferred donating money to the Tories.And \u2018like similar spending by Spar Aerospace and Bombardier, is it any wonder drug companies received preferential treatment through Tory legislation which protects their financial interests?Tories will argue that the legislation - which recently extended patents on brand- name drugs to 20 years makes good economic sense.But it also deprives Canadians of cheaper generic drugs.It is near criminal to subject Canada\u2019s aging population to eventual enslavement to expensive drugs.+ More and more the federal and provincial governments emphasize de- institutionalization, often through intensive and aggressive drug treatment.But will Canadians forced out of hospi- .tals and prescribed expensive drugs be able to cope?While medicare still picks up the tab, taxpayers still have to pay one way or another.And if drug manufacturers hold a monopoly on their drug patents, \u201cthen one has to wonder if ethically there\u2019s * something very wrong here: do we have a right to charge huge sums for drugs which _ be more cheaply manufactured?The Pharmaceutical Manufacturers As- .sociation of Canada and other drug- - company representatives should be ashamed.They may well be able to boast of short-term financial gain.But what happens when taxpayers say enough is enough?Canadians need inspired and compassionate leadership, something no political party on the Canadian horizon seems ready or able to provide.Politicians + have to hear that message.Take five

man accused of knowingly infecting several women with the virus believed to cause AIDS died Tuesday, leaving a judge to decide whether to render a verdict in the landmark case, an activist said.Charles Ssenyonga, 36, died at about 9 a.m.Tuesday, said a nursing supervisor at Listowel Memorial Hospital, where the Ugandan immigrant and former shopkeeper had been admitted recently.A cause of death was not immediately available.A post mortem was to be conducted in the next few days, said a coroner in the town 80 kilometres north of London.Judge Dougald McDermid is scheduled to deliver his verdict Aug.4 following Ssenyonga\u2019s three-month trial in nearby London on three counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm.\u2018GET NOTHING\u2019 \u2018If there\u2019s not a decision there will be all kinds of people who get nothing,\u201d said Mike Sauer, the assistant executive director of the AIDS Committee of London.But a verdict may also be useless because Sse- nyonga could neither serve a penalty nor be set free, Sauer said.Ssenyonga\u2019s lawyer, Fletcher Dawson, and Crown attorney Simon Johnson could not be reached for comment, but Johnson has said previously the case \u2018\u201cmay well send a message about responsibility in sexual practice.\u201d Other Canadians have been charged with knowingly spreading HIV but have pleaded guilty, court was told.Ssenyonga pleaded not guilty and at one point was banned from having sex.Ssenyonga had tested positive for the human immunodeficiency virus in 1989.Three women he had unprotected sex with between then and 1991 have tested positive for the virus.He spent four days on the witness stand in June and testified that thoughts of death sometimes crossed his mind, but said he had not thought about the impending deaths of the women he is accused of infecting.As one of the women wrapped up her emotional testimony, she sobbed \u2018\u2018Damn you!\u201d at Sse- nyonga.His lawyers argued he suffered from a psychological condition known as post-traumatic stress disorder which caused his conscious mind to block out his illness.They told court the condition was prompted by the horrors Ssenyonga witnessed growing up in war-torn Uganda.Idea of disbanding crops up often, say sources Will our only parachute regiment be grounded?By John Ward OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The future of the country\u2019s only parachute regiment is under quiet debate in the conference rooms and offices of National Defence headquarters.Inthe wake of the Canadian Airborne Regiment\u2019s troubled peacekeeping tour in Somalia, the idea of disbanding the regiment crops up often, say sources close to the military establishment.There has long been a faction within the military that dislikes the airborne concept.Some are irked by what they view as the \u2018\u2018elitist\u2019\u2019 attitude of the paratroopers, who tend to add a distinctive swagger to the flashy jump boots, parachutist\u2019s wings and red berets of their regiment.Others argue that getting to the battlefield by jumping out of airplanes is an outmoded tactical doctrine, overtaken by helicopter technology.AMMUNITION The regiment\u2019s troubles in Somalia \u2014 which include murder charges and the possibility of more criminal charges as well as internal disciplinary action \u2014 give opponents a lot of ammunition.\u2018\u2018Where this is going to leave the airborne as a regiment is an interesting question,\u201d says Martin Shadwick, a defence analyst attached to York University.\u201cThere are people in the army who would just as soon see the airborne regiment or its equivalent gone completely.\u201d The regiment traces its roots to a parachute battalion established during the Second World War.It served with Britain's 6th Airborne Division in Europe, jumping into France on D-Day, but dsappeared in post-war reorganization.From 1948 to 1968 there was no specific airborne formation; each regular infantry regiment contained a company of parachute- trained soldiers.In 1968 those companies united as the airborne regiment.It is seen as a fast-reaction force of tough, well-trained soldiers able to act as a strategic reserve or deploy quickly to trouble spots.But is it?\u2018\u201cAs far as the airborne is concerned, part of that problem is that they became too taken up with jumping out of airplanes and not doing much else,\u201d says a retired colonel who asks not to be identified.They have had only two tours of peacekeeping, in Cyprus in 1974 and in Somalia.Four members of the regiment are charged with murder, torture and neglect of duty in the March 16 death of a Somali civilian.Sources say criminal charges and internal disciplinary action are being considered against others.The colonel says disbanding the airborne could be a good poltical move.both inside and outside the military.\u201cIt might be politically expedient to make a move like that to show that something decisive was being done.Within the army, there is a group of people that would not shed many tears if the airborne were taken out of the order of battle.\u201d Shadwick is concerned that if the regiment disappears.nothing will replace it.That would leave the army with just six battalions of regular infantry.he says.\u2018\u2018Certainly people are very concerned that seven is kind of a minimal number to start with.If this is used as an excuse by bean- counters to take us down to six battalions.even the most minor peacekeeping operation is going to be a real chore.\u201d Canadian regiment founded

in empty rooms.So he asked his kids to pretend each light bulb was a 7Up bottle.Every time a bulb needlessly burned, the young Makower imagined he was spilling his favorite beverage down the drain.Decades later, the trick has evolved into a tool for environmental change.Today, Makower is a translator of the sometimes arcane language of environmentalism.He helps people \u2014 from purchasing managers to homemakers \u2014 conceptualize intricacies of energy conservation and waste reduction.In his view, the saving from installing a water-conserving sho- wer head isn\u2019t up to $55 a year in energy bills \u2014 it\u2019s a return on investment of 275 per cent.GOOD POLICY And educating workers to reduce waste is more than good environmental policy, he tells managers, it\u2019s a morale booster.He asserts that consumers and businesses can benefit \u2014 profit, in fact \u2014 from ecologically sound practices.\u201cI write about what people are likely to do in the marketplace, not what they should do,\u201d\u2019 he says.\u201cIt\u2019s a very forgiving approach to environmentalism, understanding that most people are only willing to do so much.But even doing that takes some hand-holding and prodding.\u201d Makower, 41, has published several books, including a bestseller, The Green Consumer.He writes a weekly newspaper co- lumn and edits two lively newsletters.Three years ago, during the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, enthusiasm for the environment reached a frenzied pitch.But in the aftermath of celebri- ty-studded events and symbolic corporate gestures, many people felt frustrated by their inability to personally make a difference.NO REVOLUTION \u201cIt\u2019s not the revolution that the media played it up to be three years ago,\u2019\u2019 Makower says.\u2018\u201cSome people consider it less than successful.\u201d The truth is that there were no simple solutions, but average people can be part of broadly based programs of recycling, source reduction and composting.The Green Consumer is a trove of information \u2014 from how to save gasoline by keeping car tires Party insiders say Kiichi Miyazawa will go Stubborn Japanese PM sparks resignations By Mari Yamaguchi TOKYO (AP) \u2014 A cabinet minister quit in protest Tuesday as Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa lingered another day in office and his sharply divided party searched for a successor.\u201cI have no intention of just hanging on to my position,\u201d Miyaza- wa told Liberal Democratic party leaders.\u201cI am doing this job at the party\u2019s behest.It will determine my fate.\u201d The pressure on Miyazawa to take responsibility for the party\u2019s loss of its majority in Sunday\u2019s parliamentary elections came to a head at a cabinet meeting.Posts and Telecommunications Minister Junichiro Koizumi, refusing to back away from his demand that Miyazawa step down, quit himself.Similar calls have come from other party leaders but are rare from a cabinet member.CONSIDERED LAME Miyazawa, considered a lame duck since losing a no-confidence vote in June, surprised party members Monday when he refused to resign, saying he would make his own decision after considering party views.Party insiders said they expect Miyazawa, 73, to announce his resignation during a meeting of Liberal Democratic legislators Thursday.While the remains of Miyaza- wa\u2019s power base were rapidly crumbling, the party faced the difficult question of choosing a successor.Potential candidates faced objections either from reformers within the party, or from the old-style power brokers who have been blocking anti- corruption reforms for years.A group of younger party members denounced the customary method of choosing a new party leader in backroom deals among power brokers, saying a secret ballot among all party members would be \u2018\u2018the first step toward democratization of the party.\u201d CLAIM CREDIT The Liberal Democrats have governed Japan since their party\u2019s formation in 1955 and claim credit for the country\u2019s economic growth.A series of scandals helped opposition parties on Sunday, but the Liberal Democrats still managed to win 223 of the 511 seats in the powerful lower house.That left them in a position to dominate the black properly inflated to why home water filters may do more harm than good.The success of the 300-page paperback inspired Makower to start the Green Consumer Letter, an eight-page monthly printed on recycled paper.Two years ago, he launched the Green Business Letter.His father died while Makower was assembling last September\u2019s issue of the Green Consumer Letter.That month\u2019s \u2018\u2018Ecologue,\u201d a regular back-page essay, came easily.Makower wrote about the 7Up conservation principle, and of how his career was shaped by other paternal advice.\u201cYou never truly understand something,\u201d\u201d he recalled his father saying, \u2018\u201c\u2018until you can explain it to someone else.\u201d a governing coalition.Japan\u2019s leading economic newspaper, the Nihon Keizai, joined Tuesday in calls for Miyaza- wa to step down.\u201cWe understand Mr.Miyazawa still has a lot to say, but his role as prime minister is finished.Before anything else, the public wants the \u2018face\u2019 of politics to change.\u201d During the formation of a new government, Japan\u2019s powerful bureaucrats are expected to keep running day-to-day affairs.But the lack of strong central leadership is likely to slow progress on tough trade and economic issues.Miyazawa was forced to call Sunday\u2019s election after his government lost a no-confidence vote in June for failing to push through political reforms.

Benefit: Check your cheques OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Families may see a change in the amount of their next Child Tax Benefit allowance cheques.Effective with this month\u2019s benefit.the amount of payment will be based on the family\u2019s 1992 taxable income.From January to June, the first six months of the new program, eligibility was based on a family\u2019s 1991 income.\u201cWe're asking people to check their statements, to have a look at what you are getting to see if our numbers match what you expected.They should call if it is not, so we can adjust it as quickly as possible,\u201d said Kathy Turner, manager of the Child Tax Benefit Program.Figures are still preliminary but about 100,000 fewer families are getting cheques this July than the 3.2 million paid on average in the first six months of the year, Turner said.Higher incomes will bump some people from the system.But those who may be qualifying for the first time, because their income dropped, don\u2019t get cheques immediately.They'll be mailed statements showing the benefit calculation and asked to .verify the information first.Payments will then be retroactive | to July.Statements accompanying July\u2019s cheque contain information .based on 1992 income tax files that should correctly show the parents\u2019 joint net taxable income (after deductions), the spouse\u2019s name and the correct number and ages of children.Mistakes in those categories could lead to incorrect payments under the program\u2019s complex formula.The toll-free English language number is 1-800-387-1193 and the French language number is 1-800-387-1194.They are in operation weekdays during normal working hours, but expect lines to be busy.It took a half dozen calls to get through to an operator late Monday afternoon.Families who get cheques mailed directly have already been notified in previous months that their benefit amounts may change, although they weren\u2019t told by how much.The switch may come as more of a surprise to the 750,000 or so families who have Child Benefit payments deposited directly in their bank accounts.They\u2019ll be mailed statements that show any change in benefits.Last January, the Child Benefit program replaced the universal family allowance program and several other child-directed programs with an income-related benefit to help lower income and larger families.Folic acid spina bifida: doctors TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Folic acid should be added to food just as iodine is to salt tc prevent up to 60 per cent of spina bifida cases across Canada, top physicians and scientists say.The acid is found in citrus fruits and green, leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, brus- sel sprouts and spinach, but only half of all North American women get an average of 0.2 milligrams of it a day.The folic acid recommendation follows studies that show many cases of spina bifida and similar birth defects can be prevented if enough of the B vitamin is given to women planning to conceive.The health protection branch will determine whether the recommendation should be embraced, says Dr.Margaret Cheney, chief of nutritional evaluation for the federal Health Department.\u201cWe are certainly looking at it, but it needs further study,\u201d Cheney said in an interview, adding that even if it\u2019s approved it could take up to two years before cereal, bread or flour is fortified with folic acid.Dr.Gideon Koren, director of the Hospital for Sick Children\u2019s Motherisk program, says \u201cany delay in implementing this recommendation may cause preventable occurrences of neural tube defects.\u201d can curb The most common of such defects is spina bifida which occurs when the bony casing around the spinal cord fails to close, and anencephaly, a condition in which major parts of the brain and skull are missing, results.About 400 to 800 babies in Canada are born with neural tube defects every year, some 80 to 160 of them in Toronto.Koren says.Doctors and scientists from Britain, the United States and Canada suggested to federal Health Department doctors after a meeting at a Toronto Hospital last week that any one of flour, bread or cereal be fortified with folic acid A recent study of 1000 Toronto women and 2000 others in Boston and Philadelphia who gave birth found that ingesting 0.4 milligrams of folic acid a day around the time of conception reduced neural tube defects in babies by about 60 per cent.Since 50 to 75 per cent of all pregnancies in Canada are unplanned, it\u2019s important that women planning to conceive get the recommended amount of folic acid.That's because spina bifida occurs when the fetus is only four weeks old when most women don\u2019t even know they're pregnant.

his praise.\u201d This is only fair, and it can apply in a bridge deal \u2014 like today's.How should South plan the play in three no- trump, West leading the heart queen?South had a tough decision after his partner\u2019s takeout double.He was little strong for one no-trump and a little weak for two no-trump.He compromised by jumping to two spades, showing 9-11 points and at least four spades.North's cue-bid of three hearts was game-forcing and expressing doubt about direction.The bid is usually made with three spades.With four spades, normally North would raise.South showed his heart stopper; North was happy to pass.- South had six top tricks: one spade, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs.From the bidding, it was likely that West held the K-Q of spades and the club queen.But were the spades or the clubs breaking 3-3?Declarer found a line that allowed him to test both suits.After winning the first trick in hand with the heart king, South led a spade: queen, ace.Dummy\u2019s spade jack was won with West's king; back came a low heart to dummy\u2019s ace.Dummy\u2019s spade 10 was cashed but West discarded a heart.Now declarer played a club to his ace and led the club jack: queen, king.When declarer played a club to his 10, both opponents followed.So a diamond to dummy\u2019s ace allowed South to cash dummy\u2019s club six for his ninth trick.The more

extending the Expos\u2019 losing streak to three games.Lewis\u2019s second homer of the season came in the sixth inning after Andy Allanson reached base on first baseman Frank Bolick\u2019s error and

CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Frank Thomas\u2019s two-run homer in the sixth inning backed the four-hit pitching of Alex Fernandez on Tuesday night, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.The Blue Jays and New York Yankees both lost, allowing the Baltimore Orioles to take over first place by a half-game in the AL East with a 7-0 win over Kansas City.With the White Sox trailing 1-0 on John Olerud\u2019s 18th homer in the second inning, Joey Cora looped a one-out double to ninth, in the fifth inning off Martinez made it 5-0.Swift (13-5) held the Expos hi- tless until

have far to go to cover fire By Tom Saladino ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 Fire swept through a section of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium on Tuesday, sending fans and players scurrying for safety as black smoke poured from the burning press box.The fire in the stadium\u2019s middle level started 90 minutes before the Atlanta Braves were to play the St.Louis Cardinals and was put out 45 minutes after it began.One firefighter was taken to a hospital suffering from heat exhaustion and as many as 10 others were treated on the scene for heat-related problems.No other injuries were reported.A crowd of more than 40,000 was expected, and the few hundred fans who arrived early for the 7:40 p.m.EDT start were Ryan smokes \u2019em in triumphant return By Arnie Stapleton ARLINGTON, Tex.(AP) \u2014 So you thought Nolan Ryan was washed up, huh?You dumped him from your rotisserie league during his 72- day layoff?Did you have that awful feeling, he\u2019d say farewell to a 27-year career from the trainer\u2019s room instead of the mound?If you won\u2019t admit it, Ryan will.\u201cI have to be encouraged,\u201d Ryan said after leading the Texas Rangers to a 5-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers Monday night before a sold-out crowd of 40,676 at Arlington Stadium.\u201cThree weeks ago, 1 had my doubts about whether I would pitch again this year.\u201d But baseball\u2019s all-time strikeout leader has returned from rehabilitating his hip to baffling batters.He struck out six and walked one while giving up two earned runs and scattering Just three hits in 5 2-3 innings.Ryan came out smoking, his fastball consistently zooming past home plate at 94 miles an evacuated.While Braves management and fire officials decided whether the game could be played safely, fans milled outside the stadium.Finally, the game began at 9:38 p.m.EDT.Joe Torre, manager of the Cardinals, was in the clubhouse when he heard about the fire.\u201cI just ran out onto the field and looked up and it scared the hell out of me,\u201d he said.\u201cI just kept running into the outfield.Atlanta assistant fire chief Larry Tanner said he thought the fire was caused by an electrical problem.\u201cIf there\u2019s any doubt in our mind that there was structural damage, atleast that section of the stadium will be isolated completely,\u201d Tanner said.hour and his curveball spinning sharply through the strike zone.His fastest pitch was clocked at 96 m.p.h.Texas pitching coach Claude Osteen was amazed: Ryan\u2019s control was unbelievable for a 46-year-old power pitcher coming off his longest career stint on the disabled list.\u2018\u201c\u201cHe was outstanding tonight,\u201d Osteen said.\u2018He gave us exactly what we wanted, and even went farther than we expected.What surprised me was how he turned the fastball on late.\u201d In Ryan\u2019s five previous stays on the DL while with the Rangers, he hadn\u2019t pitched more than five innings in his first start after being activated and was 1-4 with a 7.97 ERA and 6.2 walks per nine innings.Ryan, who will start again Sunday at home against Toronto, reported no physical problems after his 321st career victory and first start since May 7, when he strained a hip muscle in his first start back from arthroscopic knee surgery.\u201cWe\u2019ll never risk people\u2019s lives to play a game.\u201d The fire burned 25 minutes before firefighters could get close enough to pour water on it.Twenty minutes later, it appeared out.Tanner said five box suites were destroyed and a sixth was heavily damaged.Kasten said he does not believe the 28-year- old stadium sustained structural damage.-Braves president Stäh Kas- ten said 2,000 seats were damaged.The scoreboard and lights operated, but not the public- address system.The team was able to broadcast the game on television and radio.The media were shifted from the pressbox to an adjacent section in the stands.The fire apparently started His comeback was further delayed when he sliced his foot on the blade of a water ski.The last of seven stitches was removed June 13.It didn\u2019t take long for Ryan (2-2) to get back in the groove.Darryl Hamilton, the first batter of the game, went down swinging.Kevin Reimer, a former teammate of Ryan\u2019s, ended the first inning with \u2018K\u2019 No.2.Of Milwaukee\u2019s first nine batters, four struck out.By the time Ryan pulled himself out of the game in the sixth, he had allowed only three hits \u2014 all doubles \u2014 and had upped his record strikeout total to 5,684.Ryan was the antidote for a pitching-thin staff desperately in need of an ace while the Rangers battle for their first division title in a weak American League West.The pitchers who took his place for 12 starts in Ryan\u2019s absence were a combined 2-5 with a 5.90 ERA.\u201cHe\u2019s the guy we need to get through the second half.\u201d in a suite rented by radio station WGST on the third-base side of the press level.Matt Stewart of WGST said no one was in the suite when the fire started at 5:55 p.m.A loud explosion was heard several minutes after the fire began.Burning debris fell onto the field-level seats, flames shot through the club level and back smoke billowed above the 52,013-seat stadium.Players from both teams stood on the field and watched.\u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it,\u201d\u2019 said Braves outfielder Otis Nixon, who was n the dugout when the fire started.\u201cI just looked up and there was this fire.Then everybody just took off.It was like a 60-yard dash to the outfield.I never saw Bobby (Cox, the Braves manager) run so fast.\u201d Texas manager Kevin Kennedy said.After Ryan went off, it took four pitchers to record the final 10 outs.\u201cI can\u2019t make any predictions about anything,\u201d Ryan said.\u2018\u2018I have to take it start by start.I hope to start every time my turn comes up.I don\u2019t set number goals.My goal is to help this team and take some pressure off the bullpen.\u201cI couldn\u2019t ask for a better situation to come back into, the way the team has recovered.We're in the middle of the pennant race.\u201d The crowd gave Ryan five standing ovations, and when he left the game, he acknowledged the cheers with an old- fashioned gesture \u2014 a tip of the hat.For good measure, the crowd gave Ryan another ovation when his name was called over the public address system as the victor after Tom Henke earned his 20th save.Ryan dispelled many a doubt, including his own.Richer walks alone in deal with Devils MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Ste- phane Richer says he negotiated his own contract with the New Jersey Devils.\u2018I did it myself, Richer said of the deal for two years plus an option year he signed Monday.\u201cIt was my fourth contract and I knew what I was doing.\u201d Richer dumped his agent, Don Meehan, but had some help from a counsellor, Montreal accountant Richard Teo- Ii, in his negotiations with the National Hockey League club.The high scoring right winger would not say how much the new deal will pay him, but his salary is reported to exceed $1 million per season.He earned $865,000 US last season in the otion year of a two-plus-one deal signed in 1990 when he played for the Montreal Canadiens.Richer was traded to New Jersey for centre Kirk Muller on Sept.20, 1991.\u201cMy relations with Devils management are excellent,\u201d said Richer, 27, a two-time 50- goal scorer who netted 38 for the Devils last season.\u2018They wanted me under contract until I\u2019m 30 so they wouldn\u2019t lose me as a free agent.\u201cThat was fine.I'm happy in New Jersey.\u201d The Devils have made big changes in the off-season, firing coach Herb Brooks and hiring former Montreal assistant general manager Jacques Le- maire as head coach.Lemaire in turn hired former defence great Larry Robinson as assistant coach.\u201cI accepted their offer before they announced that Lemaire was hired,\u2019 said Richer.\u201cThat wouldn\u2019t have changed anything for me but it might have influenced the Devils.\u201cThey know I get along well with him.Fr me, it was good news.I think it will also be good for (Devils right winger) Claude Lemieux.He didn\u2019t get along with the last coach and I know he didn\u2019t want to be traded.\u201d PHOTO/BROOKE GRANTHAM By Brooke Grantham SHERBROOKE \u2014 Soaring 20 feet in the

inaugural season, the Tampa Bay Lightning is moving to the spacious Florida Suncoast Dome.Tuesday\u2019s announcement ended months of speculation about where the team will play next season, but it didn\u2019t answer the lingering questions of if, when or where a permanent home will be built.The Lightning played its first season in the 10,400-seat Expo Hall at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.Club officials had said it would be difficult to return this fall unless a number of changes were made to improve the facility built for livestock shows and exhibits.\u2018\u2018We had a terrific first year,\u201d Lightning governor David LeFevre said.\u2018\u2018A lot of that had to do with that building.But I think we\u2019ve outgrown it and we're looking forward to playing in a major-league facility.\u201d Plans call for the Lightning to play in nearby St.Peter- sburg for a minimum of two seasons.Three locations, including two in Tampa and one on land adjacent to the Dome,
