Victorious Northwestern Athletes
Edmundon, Nephew of T. E. Edmundson Of this City,
Star in Big Mee----Oher NeDs of the Great Contest

Northwestern athletes at Seattle
last week got the eastern cracks on
their own soil and decisively defeated
them in the senior events of the A.A.-
Y. championship games. James E.
Sullivan, who has attended the meets
of the A.A.C. for the last 33 years,
says there is no fiuke about the win of
the Northwestern men either for they
were pitted against the best the far
east, the middle west and the Pacific
coast can produce.
There We're enough thrills in the
track events to supply half dozen
meets. For instance there was Ed
mundson in the half mile who carried
every dollar his team mates on the
Seattle club team could rake and
scrape. Sullivan, Halpin and the
other New Workers confidently expec-
ed Gissing Of the New York Athletic
Club to win this event, for back in
New York Gissing is considered to be
on par with Sheppard, the champion
There was class stamped all over
the half mile race, as a glance at the
entries will show Gissing of New
York, the fastest man in the east, now
that Sheppard is out with bad leg,
Ramey, formerly of the University of
Michigan, and Taylor, running for the
Chicago Athletic association. j. o.
Miller and Glarner, for the Olympic
club W. 5. Miller for the Multnomah
Athletic Club and Edmundson for the
Seattle Athletic Club.
Edmunsons team mates on the
Seattle Club team picked him against
the field and went down on him, hook,
line and sinker. One of the boys
pawned his watch to get money to BET
on the long legged lad from Idaho.
Edmundson a Real Champion
And Edmundson made good in such
impressive fashion that the visitor.
from the east were awed. When they
finally came out of their trance, Pres
ident Sullivan said: "Edmundson is
one of the great half mile runners Of
the country. He deserves to ranl
with Myers, Fitzpatrick and Sheppard
and had there been no wind he woulo
have come dangerously close to thu
worlds record"
Edmundson took the lead at th,
crack Of the pistol and he was never
headed. He reeled of the first quartel
in 53 seconds, while the recort
for the best previous perform
ance for the first quarter was "a sec
onds. Miller of the Olympic clul
and Gissing, the eastern crack, huns
right on to Edmundson's heel in tina
killing first quarter, but the swift pace
burned them up. BY setting such ;
terrific pace Edmundson ran his oppo
ents into the ground and he put thu
whole bunch of them out of the mill
race as well as beating them in thu
half, for when he had finished witt
them there was not a kick left in |
man of the bunch.

ALASKAN SURE DIR. COOK REACHED
SUMMIT.

Men Of Alaska who have seen Dr.. Cook
at work as a mountain climber, according
to the testimony of DR.. A. c. Miller, a sur
eaon, who was stationed near the Top of
the Continent,' have no doubt that he
climbed Mount Mckinley.
Dir. Miller is now at the Hoffman House
and last night he consented to speak Of
the exploit OF DR.. Cook as it is viewed on
the far western coast.
Il had the pleasure Of meeting DR.. Cook
said he, when | was stationed at kasilof,
where there is a large salmon cannery, and
I was in the service OF the company as
surgeon. l later went to Il point nearer
Mount Mckinley, where I was in constant
sight OF that lofty peak, and l talked with
the hardy prospectors and pioneers,
''That DIR. Cook, said they, IS the tough
est man who ever was III shoe leather III
Alaska By that they meant he was the
hardest man they had ever seen, and | can
assure you that a compliment like that was
the last they would have given to him I'M
hess they had meant every word OF it.
