where he did 20. Several Eskimos
who started with DIR. Cook from An
orntOk in February, 1908, were at
Etah when | arrived there n August,
1908. They told me that DR. Cook had
with him, after they left, two Eskimo
boys, or young men, two s0edges and
some twenty dogs. The boys were
l-took-a-shoo and Ah.pe-la1 had
known them from their childhood
One was about eighteen ana the ether
about nineteen years of ags.
On my return from CaIs Sheridan
and at the very first settlement
touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) in
August, 1909, and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me.
in general way, where Dr. Cook had
been that he had wintered in Jones
Sound, and thai he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been long
way north. but that the boys who were
with him, I-togk -a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah.
said that this was not so. The Eski-
mos laughed at DR. Cooks story. On
reaching Etah, | talked with the Els
kimos there and with the two boys
and asked them to describe Or. Cooks
journey to members of my party and
myself This they Odd in the manner

RESULTS OF GAMES
San Francisco 1, Oakland o.
Vernon 3, Sacramento j.
Los Angeles 4, Portland 2.

Well, our boys went ahead another
peg yesterday, but they had to put on
full steam to get to the front. In a
contest where the fielders We're called
upon innumerable times to save the
situation, the Seals put it on the enemy
in / to 0 finish. The Commuters
either played over their heads yester-
day or else the form they displayed in
the exhibition series with the White
Sox was not true line on what they
We're capable Of doing.
While the hit columns only show five
binsles against Marie, the Oakland
twirler, and four for Henley who did
the firing for the Seals. there was
considerable slamming of the sphere
around the lot, but the fielders had all
sails UP and their clip in the field was
phenomenal. The wind was blowing a
hurricane, which made the work OF all
the more difficult, but notwithstanding
this obstacle there was some fast work.
1t looked good for an extra inning
contest until McCay did a little slip
in the last round, which cost the
transbay boys the palm. Melchoir
was on third with two down when
Henley bumped a fast grounder along
the third base line, which Mac got
tangled up with. He recovered the
sphere, but his heave to first was a
trifie late. as Henley was there ahead
of it. and Melchoir was safely. across
the pan.
In the second inning Melcboir led
off with a double to deep left and
Lewis advanced him to third on a
clever sacrifice.
Marie went ahead and increased his
steam. His offerings did not have
many big circles, but he had a change
of pace that was baffiing. He threw
them at Berry, who finally picked out
one but the best he could do was to
slam it to Breyette, who. in turn, hurled
it home in time to catch Melchoir.
The nearest Oakland came TO scor-
ing was in the third inning, when
Carroll led off with double and moved
up a peg on Carl Lewis sacrifice. Hen
ley repeated Mares performance by
getting the next two men without al
lowing the man at third TO get across
the pan.
The run in the ninth happened like
this: Melchoir, who was the only man
on the home team that was able to
solve Marie. hit a Texas Lacquer over
third. Lewis, who followed, struck out
and Catcher Lewis OF the Commuters
endeayored to catch Mel off first. but,
instead of returning to the bag, the
Seal beat It to second and was safe.
He went to third on Berry's out and
Marie passed MeArdle. Henley hit on
along third and McCay became con-
fused and made slip. He re-
covered the sphere. but it was too late,
as Henley had reached first safely. The
