The claim of Mount Mckinley, the
eliminating peak Of the Alaskan range,
to be regarded as the loftiest point In
North America, is sustained by the re-
port Of m exploring party, made by
one Of Its members. Mr.. A. ii. Brooks.
The party made u journey Of 800 miles
oil foot In Alaska during the season
just passed. Mr.. ID. L. Reaburn, the
topographer Of the expedition, believes
that the measurements Of mountain
heights which were made have a.prob-
able error not exceeding 100 feet. Ac.
cording TO these measurements Mount
McKinley's elevation definitely exceeds
10000 feet; that Of Mount Foraker Ii
1900 feet.

PEORIA, ILL.,, June 15-(Special Tele-
gram)-Peoria had on its batting clothes
today and found Millions curves with the
greatest OF regularity. on the other hand,
Olmstead pitched a superb game, which,
with the perfect support he was given, tells
the tale OF the game. The visitors did not
put up their usual fast fielding game and
several bad plays were made. Shugart was
the chief offender and three OF the home
cams runs In the first and second innings
were due to his work. He was taken out
Of the game and Genins came in to second,
Thomas going to the outield. After the
change the team played better and Milton
steadied down wonderfully. Once It was
that he did exceptionally well. In the
SIXTH after one had scored, there were two
on bases and none out. It looked as though
at least a couple of scores were certain,
but Stewart hit an easy fly and T1bald and
Birmingham famed. WEIGH, the Omaha
amateur, who is holding down right gar
den, is playing an exceptionally fast game
and he looks to be the find Of the season.
His two-bagger today does not give him
the credit really due him, for each time up
but one he hit drives TO the outfeld that
were only stopped by fast playing of the
guardians of that territory.
