DR.. COOK TELLS
Of THE ASCENT Of
MOUNT N 'K|NLEY

New York. Nov. 2s.-Dr. Frederick A.
Cook OF Brooklyn reached here last night
after trip to Alaska. where he climbed
Mount Mckinley, the highest elevation in
North America. So far as known, DR.
Cook and Edward Barrllle. who accom-
panied him. are the only persons who
have reached this peak, which rises co.
feet above sea level.
I'VE left New York on May 49, said
Or. Cook. FOR our trip to Alaska. There
were TO OF us I'm the party that tried 10
scale Mount Mckinley. AS a party we
tried TO climb 90 the southwest side Of
the mountain. but found that we could
not succeed, as the sides OF the mountain
az that point are almost perpendicular.
on Aug. /, Or. Cook said. the party sep
arated into smaller parties. Mr.. Barrille,
John Dokkin and himself formed one par
~. They started to climb on the north
east side OF the mountain. After three
days OF hard and dangerous climbing the
party reached a ridge I'm the mountains
where they paused for rest.
After the third day they found the snow
on the mountain sides hard, and were able
TO make better progress by cutting steps
I'm the snow.
After six days DR.. Cook and his com
panlons, he said, had reached height OF
1900 feet. They had had no trouble I'm
breathing until they reached this nelght,
when the great altitude seriously incon-
venienced them At that point Mr. Dok-
kin found that he could go no further.
Just before sunset every night the
climbers, who were armed with climbing
implements. built snow houses i'm which
To spend the night. Wrapped I'm furs and
blankets, they were able to sleep I'm COM
fort For water they melted snow At
morning they deserted the snow houses
that had sheltered them for the
night and started out for another days
climb.
ON the eighth day they reached the
summit of the mountain. They had in
tended TO stay on the peak for several
hours. but found breathing there so dinl-
cult that they remained but 20 minutes
Dr. Cook said that he attributed their
success to the lateness OF the season and
the exceptionally clear weather. which
favored mountain climbing. Or. Cook
places the height OF Mount Mckinley at
20, 800 feet. The recorded figures are 2O46l.

OR|OLE IN 1907

Mike" Lynch the former Brown
pitcher, is TO wear a Baltimore uni
form next season. says an announce
ment OF the National Association OF
Professional Baseball Leagues, through
Secretary Farrell. The three-year con-
tract which he had with the Pittsburg
club OF the National league expired
last season, and IL was generally un-
derstood by the local fans that Lynch
would not be on the big league cir
cult in 1907.
Mike" failed TO Justify expectations
with the Pittsburg team. He pitched
a number OF splendid games during
his three seasons with the Pirates, but
was too unsteady and unreliable for
Clarke. In the Eastern league
Lynch should get by with flying colors
and the orioles will find him valu-
able addition TO the STAFF.
The same bulletin states that con-
tracts have been signed with the
Providence club by four players, as
Stanley Mathew. A. Doxsey,
