NORTH POLE FOUND.
DR.. FREDERICK COOK, AMERICAN
EXPLORER, FIRST TO
REACH GOAL.
DISCOVERED APRIL Il, 1908
News Of 7rooklynite's Wonderful
Achievement, to Accomplish Which
77s Lives Have Been Lost, Comes
In Messages Sent to Copenhagen.

Copenhagen, Sept a. That DR..
Frederick A. Cook, the American ex
plorer, reached the north pole in his
given full credence here, although de.
tails are lacking of his intrepid dash
across the ice.
A message was received at the
colonial office via Lerwick, Shetland
Islands, announcing that DR.. Cook had
reached the pole April 21, 1908.
Dispatch from Ship officer.
This dispatch was sent by Green
land official on board the Danish gov
ernment steamer Hans Egede, which
passed Lerwick at noon en- route for
Denmark, and read as follows:
I'VE have on board the American
traveller, DR. Cook, who reached the
north pole April 21, 1908. Dr. Cook
arrived ia Upernavik in May of 1909
from Cape York. The Esquimaux oC
Cape York confirmed DR.. Cooks story
of his journey"
1t is understood that the Danish
consul at Lerwick, where the Hans
Egede remained for two hours, was
officially notified of DR.. Cooks sue.
cess in his attempt to reach the pole,
but that he was bound to secrecy con
eerning the extent and nature of the
explorers discoveries.
Full Report on Saturday.
Director Ryberg, head OF the Green
land administration bureau, said he
did not expect to- receive any further
details of DR. Cooks achie rement be-
fore the arrival of the Hans Egede at
Saturday afternoon. The vessel win
make no stops on the voyage from
Lerwick to Copenhagen,
Director Ryberg proceeded to the
American Legation and informed the
minister, DR.. Maurice F. Egan, that
Or, Cook had reached the north pole
The announcement caused the great
est enthusiasm throughout the city
and many Americans called at the le-
CATION to congratulate the minister.
Among these was Alexander Kouta Of
New York, warm personal friend of
DR.. Cook. who said that he had be-
lieved the explorer had perished long
ago. The legation was overcrawded
with visitors.
Tbs noted explorer, Commander
Hovgasrd leader of various north
pole expeditions, was convinced that
the message that DR.. Cook had
reached the north pole was true. but
remarked that il vas strange that no
mention was made in the cable as to
whether there Is land at the poIs. II
is the intention of the people of
Copenhagen on Or. Cooks arrival
here, TO give him a most enthusiastic
reception.

A. & M. DEFEAT
 PRESBYTERIANS

Columbus. Miss. October 22-(speciaL) j. Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical college had a walk-over when they de- feated the team from the Southern Pres byterian university this afternoon by Q score of 31 to 0.
 Four thousand people watched the game with interest for about ten minutes, and 1t was soon noticeable that it was a one sided affair, with the Tennesseans play ing the smallest end of what promised to be defeat worse than the final score indicates. The game was somewhat ragged and grew very tiresome
 The first touchdown was made after two minutes of play. Williams making a So-yard run. This players work through out the game showed headwork and dar- ing runs. Easily he was the star The second touchdown came after nine more minutes and the third followed after only six more had been witnessed. The Ten nesseans made first down about three times during the entire game. Captain Bfllingsley of the Mississippians ran his team nicely. Pollard ana Saveley were good ground gathers.

Alabama Team Battles
 With Mississippi Today

I1niversitv. october 22.-(Special 1-The varsity football team left this morning at TAO over the Alabama Great South ern for Jackson. Miss where tomorrow 1t will meet the eleven of the University of Mississippi Besides the coach and the manager. b men were taken on the trip.
 Most of the men are in fine fettle, and therefore should be able to wrench off a victory tomorrow afternoon. However, the Mississippians will probably not prove as easy picking as they have been in past years, for so far this season they have put up an excellent showing, al though they have lost to both Tulane and Louisiana State. On October g in great fight L. $. U. managed to win by a score of 10 to 0, getting one touchdown in each half after e1erting all of her strength A week later Tulane managed to get one touchdown on an onside kick in the last minute of play in the first half the only score Of the game 50 the prospects look unusually good for bat tie royal in Jackson when the Red and Blue and the Crimson and White clashs
 If reports are true. the Mississippians will outweigh the Alabamiahs by good many pounds per man, but that is about all the advantage they will have, for Dr. Pollard's men know the game, have fine esprit de corps and are right on edge for the game. Through the three games that they have already played they have kept their goal line untarnished and It goes without saying that there will be "a fight to a finish before any adversary gets across it with pigslzin tucked under his arm.
 For the third time this season Dr. Pol lard will try new quarterback, Willin- son being the man to succeed Moody. In the first game Captain Pratt was tried out at relaying the ball to the backs, but the doctor decided after the game that he would be more valuable to the team in his old position at halfback. Then, in the next two games Moody, last years fresh man quarter, was used, but he was too light and lacked experience. Wilkinson Is

Y Tennessee And Georgia
 Or He G7idiYOn Today

Knoxville, October 22.-(Special. 1.-The Tennessee Georgia football game for to- morrow should be one of the best of the Volunteer season. The Tennessee eleven realize that they are not going to have an easy snap since the fine showing the Crackers made against Davidson last Saturday. The dope now seems to be in favor of Georgia, but anything is liable to happen these days in the football way The Volunteers are working hard. Nearly all of the soreness is out of the lads who were smashed up in the Kentucky State affair of last Saturday.
 Coach Levene was ct quarter g. number of times this evening and showed the team the inside work on several of their most important plays. All of the regu- lars were in scrtmmage this afternoon with the exception of Rice, who seems to have gotten the worse end of the fight in Saturdays game. It is hoped that
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-10-23

he will be back at end soon.
 Georgia was an easy defeat last year and the Volunteers are very anxious to do the same stunt this season. At any rate there will be great delegation of the followers of the orange and white on Walt field to witness the melee.
 So far this season the Volunteers have been unable to score, yet this does not reveal the strength of the team. Those who saw last Saturdays game say that the score, IT to o, does not tell the cor rect tale. They say that Tennessee out classed the Colonels entirely during the first half, and the score would have been different had 1t not been for the doubt full decisions in the second.
 The probable lineup for Saturdays s game Is: Dougherty, fullback; Ramsey and Peary, halves; McAllister, quarter; Rogers and Wisenburg, ends; Walters and Kesterton. tackles; Bayer and Frank lin. guards. and shannon, center.

lowed by the other communities as soon as they have come to a full understanding of 1t. The great saving in money and the building of what it IS believed are much better roads. it is thought will ultimately result in every city in this part of the country building its own streets.
 Work of Improvement of First avenue from the Sloss furnace to the limits of Woodlawn is being considered by the city. The slag base on Third avenue, which Is being torn up to make way for a new base for the vitirified brick pavement to be laid there, is to be taken up and spread on First avenue for this distance without expense to the city The street railway company has agreed to haul it, while the contractors on the Third avenue work will spread this slag on First avenue. Mayor OBrien and Sxreet Commissioner MoCartin inspected this street a few days ago, and are in hopes of making splen- did street out of First avenue within a few months. The street at present is in horrible condition. Woodlawn and East Lake are putting that part of the street traversing their towns in good shape.

BIG PREPARATIONS FOR
 SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS.

The agents of the Sells-Floto shows have made numerous preparations for the coming of the circus to this city. From now until the arrival of the big show a large portion of our Juvenile cit izens with the same proportion of the older ones will be anticipating with much satisfaction the promised visit of the Sells-Floto circus. In front of the circus rings and in the presence of the saw dust and action and within the hear ing of great symphony band, politics are laid aside, .creeds are shelved. cares are shifted, and kings and queens of so- ciety and of business affairs touch el- bows with the professional and laborins man. A big circus like the Sells Fioto show brings all kinds of people on a level for. brief time, at least.
 The union of the shows made one of the most extensive and expensive tent shows on the road. The 1909 show is a long way ahead of the previous ex- hibitions. Its clowns are more numer- ous and more funny. Great swaying ele- phants. bears walk upright. dance and wfestle. Lions. tigers, pumas. seals, ze- bras. elephants, every thinkable sort of guest from the forests of many lands forget their love of raw meat as diet and perform wonderful acts.
 If you want to see the circus unload it will be "eariy to rise' tomorrow for you The circus special will arrive early in the morning and the street parade will begin at '10:30 o'clock Monday and traverse the usual route.
 The world famous Armour $25.000 dap pie gray horses are a great feature with the sells-Floto show this year. 's'

He is perhaps 20 pounds heavier than Moody, Is faster and probably knows the game better Last year he was sub-Quarter, but he rarely ever got in a scrimmage. He should handle the team well and also be a valuable ground-gainer.
 The latest piece of football news here is that Jack Reldy has been regularly ap- pointed assistant coach for the football team He will have complete charge of the scrub tean and that means that the varsity will have a good scrap on its hands every afternoon that Dr. Pollard wants his men to have brush But not only will the scrubs battle with the var sity. they will have a regularly organized team and will have two or three games of their own with some of the leading prep school teams of the state.
 Reidy is remembered as one of the best defensive halfbacks that Alabama has ever had and the speediest out fielder that ever wore a university uni- form. He Is a quiet man, well liked by all the students. and it goes without saying that he will be able to do some great work with the scrubs and thereby build up the strength of the varsity.
