Whitney Is Not a Factor

PORTLAND, Me-. September 25.-"Har-

way or the other. in my evidence re-
garding DR.. Cooks claim of first reach

He said that he was unable to say in
what way Whitney is connected with the
controversy. He has received no word
from Whitney since the latter arrived
yesterday at Indian Harbor in the Jeanie
He says he has no intention of attempting
to communicate with him
Whitney. he said. was with him on the
Roosevelt from August II to "a but never
told him that DR.. Cook had discovered
the pole. Nor did Peary know that

ciated Press.
All in Hubbard's Hands.
Commander Peary. continuing. said:
Il have absolutely no intention OF
making statement previous to my in
terview with Gen. Hubbard at Bar Har-
Dor, unless there is change of plans
to suit Gen. Hubbard.
Having turned over certain papers to
him., the whole matter Is now in his

tireiy on the main proposition. which is:
Has Cook been to the pole?''

contemplated by DR.. Cook was received
today without comment by Commander

Secret Paper Without Bearing.
He did say. however. that he was un-
able to understand how his secret paper,
copies of which were left in several
hands a year ago last July. and which
expressed his views on DR.. Cooks meth

When asked today if that paper con-
tained proof. Commander Peary replied
How could I. before going north, have
given proof that DIR. Cook did not dis
cover the pole? / should have no obje--
ton to giving out the paper. for there is
nothing in 1T I would not say to any one

"A person who has read my previous
work could tell pretty well the substance
Of that paper. particularly II he has read
some interviews with me within year OF

BY w. o. RisHEL.

for the past twenty years. but the intro
duction of the paid coach was inaugu-
rated in 1900, when Harvey Holmes was
engaged by the University of Utah.
Since that time the Varsity has PLAYED
in fifty-seveu games. Since 1902 the A.
c. of Logan has played in thirty-eight
games. Since 1898 the salt Lake High
school has played in sixty-one games.
and since 1897 the Ogden High school
has played in 'sixty-five games. This
makes a total of POI games played by
these four schools at which admission
was charged. For every scheduled game
played there is at least one practice
game, to say nothing of the many serim-
mage plays during the practice season /:
this makes total OF 4f2 games of foot
ball played by these four schools.
IN addition to the above schools.
teams have been organized by the 7
NJ. c. A, National Guard, All Hallows.
Collegiate Institute, Granite High. Iehi
High, Park City High and different ath-
letic organizations in Salt Lake. Ogden,
Park City, Murray, Provo, American
Fork, Lehi and several lesser towns. IT
would be hard to say just how many
games have been played in this state.
but for the sake of argument admit
all of the above teams combined played
as many games as the schools of which
record Is kept. Say, in round num-
bers, 500 games have been played in
Utah in the last ten years, not taking
into consideration the games played
before the writer began a record of
them.
In each game there must be at least
twenty-five players. not counting the
substitutes. The average of a game is
one hour, although the rules allow for
one hour and ten minutes. Taking an
hour as q fair average time. it shows
that twenty-five men in SEQ games of
one hour each equals twenty-five men
competing in the hardest kind of physi-
cal exercise for 500 hours. or one man
Tor 1850 hours. During this time one
man has met death, Thomas Evans Of
Logan. These are facts and cannot be
changed by argument. Yet the man
from Box Elder would abolish football
on account of brutality.

The writer of this column has been
asked many times the past week if it
were possible to give out something
definite on the proposed Intermountain
Baseball league. 1t has been hoped
that those back of the league would be-
fore this time give the desired Informal
ton to the public. but all efforts to
make them talk of their proposed plans
have proved fruitless- There have been
no comments made here, as the writer
is first, last and all times for better
baseball in salt Lake. and this has been
promised by Mr.. Lucas and Mr.. Grim.
No matter what ones personal opinions
about the success of the league may be,
1t has been the desire to give Mr.. Lucas
and Mr. Grim a chance to announce
their scheme in the way they saw fit.
But, above all, the public is entitled to
know what is going on. and the public
wants something stronger than the
mere statement the league will be
formed. We here in Salt Lake believe
we have a slight knowledge Of baseball
conditions here and in ogden, and as
the public viii be called upon to support
the league, and will be asked to put up
the wheTeWithal to start the game-all
reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing-is it not about time the same pub
lie was let in on the plans? If this in
formation is not given out by the pro-
motors within short order, il viii be an
nounced by The Herald anyway.

BOWERS Need MONEY.

The bowlers Of Salt Lake who have
started out to raise d fund to send two
salt Lake bowling teams to Seattle for
the annual w. 3. G. congress. should
be encouraged in every way. While il
WiIlt be pleasure trip for the boys, it
will be more to the city of Salt Lake
as a boosting trip for this town. The
bowlers have already subscribed the
greater portion of the necessary ex-
pense. but need more money, and as the
city itself will get considerable advertis-
ing out of ii. it seems as if there should
be some way to help the teH-pin men
along Last year the Seattle public
raised money enough 10 send two teams
to Denver. and the bowlers were not
slow to let the citizens of the Colorado
metropolis know Seattle was on the
map. While the team was in Denver
a prominent real estate man OF Seattle
sent his personal check OF $50 to each
man, with Instructions TO spend the
money. and be sure to let everybody
know they We're from Seattle. 1t is this
kind of boosting that makes city. and
Salt Lake needs more of it.

ENSIGN LEAGUE.

The week past witnessed two of the
hardest games of the league SERIES be-
tween the Twentieth and Eighteenth ward
teams. The Twentieth ward first team
amply avenged themselves for their de
feat at the hands of the Eighteenth ward
team month ago, by defeating the red
shirted boys by the heaviest score ever
made against them. The Twentieth ward
second team are through with their Sc
RES, not losing game, and are there
fore champions of the second division of
the Ensign league. They played nine
games, winning all with a handsome mar
gin.
This week the Eleventh and Eighteenth
wards and the Twenty-seventh ard Tween
tieth wards viii play off their games on
Thursday in the Twentieth ward annex.
There IS as yet an element of doubt as
to who will be the champions of the
first division, the Twentieth ward team
being, however, strong favorites.
The standing of teams follows:
