The return of Peary in sixteen days from the Pole to Cape Columbia and his return to the exact spot from which he started was. to my mind, a re- markable feat, and indicates that great progress has been made in over coming the difficulties in reaching the Pole and that the" route Peary has blazed will be the one used by all would-be Pole-Seekers for long time to come.
 -"It is evident that he encountered much more open water than he antic- ipated and this must have. interfered greatly with his progress. 1t is also evident from the fact that the sup porting party, with which Marvin was connected, reached S6 degrees north, that Peary had an unusually success full trip north or he would not have succeeded in getting his party that far. The fact that Marvin was in charge of the supporting party leads me to believe that McMillan was the only white man with Peary on the final dash. would wager, however, that Matt Henson, the big negro, who has been with Peary and his man Friday for more than 20 years, was with the commander in the hour of his triumph
 T must admit that the figures giv- en in Peary's statement, showing the increasing rapidity with which he traxeled as he neared the Pole, con- firms Dr. Cooks statements that he travelled faster the further north he went and also kills off the incredulity that has been voiced as to Cooks abil- ity to travel at the rate sat which he claims to have traveled. I am con- vinced, however that from the tone of MT. Peary's message, he has facts that will prove that Dr. Cook is wrong in his belief that he reached the actual Pole.''

BRIDGEMAN ADMITS EXISTENCE OF POLAR CONDITIONS COOK TOLD OF
But Secretary of Peary Arctic Club Continues to Claim that Peary's Rival Never Really Reached Farthest North-On His Way to Meet Explorer

By Herbert L. Bridgman, Secretary

 Correspondent of the United Press.)
 Stellarton. N. S., CEnroute to Syd- ney, N. S.,) Sept. 9.-'fCommander Pearys brief statement as published in to-day's papers, leads me to the be- lief that the scientific records, of the trip will show that Commander Peary solved the problem of centuries on purely scientific principles and that his collected data will prove that he is the man to whom the nation owes it's chief debt for achievement of prac- tical results in the Arctic regions.
 Instead of going directly north, 1t is evident to me that MT. Peary start ed west over his own tracks made three years ago after he returned to his ship from the then .farthest north following out exactly his often stated plan.
 ''The chronological story of his trip north indicates plainly that his rate of travel was much faster the farther north he proceeded and after he got clear of land and the land ice. The miles day, while it is noted that on his last day and while making his final dash, he covered 40 miles a day. I also note that Peary is entire ly silent in the matter of 30,000 square miles of land of which Dr. Cook spoke. If Peary had seen any new land, it is almost certain he would have spoken of it, even in his brief summary.
 "I am not surprised that Peary re- mained only one day at the Pole. One day was necessary for rest and ob- servations, but with his necessarily one on which to delay and hold a pie nic.

JOHNSONS FIGHT WITH O'BRIEN
A BLOT ON CHAMPIONS RECORD

New York May 21-Seems as though
they never would get through talking
of the stand game Jack O'Brien made
against the black champion of the
world. OBriene made as great a hit
with his home admirers as he did in
Gotham when he fought Ketchel.
Johnson has taken an awful tumble
in the estimation of every fan in the
country. And it is his own fault He
deserves little sympathy. He knew
that he had to face a man who has
no equal in getting over the six-round
route. Knowing that he comes into
the ring in fat condition that was
the cause of his blowing up before the
first good rally had been fought But
whether in condition or not, it was
very evident that he was no match
for O'Brien in straightaway boxing
Johnson can hit harder. of course, and
it was the only thing that saved him
from a disgraceful hiding at the hands
of a man two classes below him in
point of weight. O'Brien's performance
was startling to say the least. That
he could go out and carry the fight
into the enemy's camp proved that he
was not lacking in heart He made
Johnson back away and block-the
very thing that Johnson promised not
to do in OBrien's case.
Johnson viii never fight any other
kind Of fight you may depend upon
that. The minute he gets a rap he
curls. and no amount of energy on the
part of his opponent can make him

come out and do an honest rounds
lighting. Billy Brady edged up to the
ring after the fight and said:
johnson, will you box Kaufman 20
rounds for $4,000 a side?"
Johnson leaned over the ropes and
replied:
Yes. I'll fight Kaufman, not twenty
rounds. Mr.. Brady TIL fight him here
in Philadelphia for six rounds and bet
him 1000 a round and leave it to the
papers. He thinks it will be a repeti-
tition of man. and III postpone my trip
to London three weeks in order to &C
commodate you or Mr. Kaufman"
Brady wouldn't listen to such a pro-
position Johnson would manage to
win about four out of FIVE of those ST.
O00-round bets, besides a slice from the
club that would land the match. The
men came to no understanding. Jack
OBren wants to fight Ketchel over
there. Six rounds he says. He thinks
that it would be a repetition of the
first six rounds of the last fight, and
that it would draw a banner house,
Nothing has been done about a meet
ing.
The report that the house had equal
led the McGovern- Nelson fight for
money is a littlt bit exaggerated. In
stead of a s2S 600 house it was more
like $4,000. and that's not hearsay
OBrien got a little over $4,000 instead
of the reported $4,000 But it was
royal pay for eighteen minutes put
tering about with the gloves.

With Ed Corrigan eliminated from

As announced at the time Of the or

test case will undoubtedly be made
here. probably at Harlem. Blind
John Condor has had his agents

takes the wagering 'On the mob" The
reports, it is said have been favorable,
and unless legal advice TO the contrary
is given to the owner of the Harlem
course. the track is likely to be opened
in June.
It is known that if the tracks
are opened there viii be no such pro-
tractve meetings in the future as in
the past 1t viii not be from snow

who will be in control at the mountain

meeting proposed.
I guess thirty days will be enough, 3"
was the dic5um of Condor, and the du-
ration of the meeting was stretched
just one day more.
OF the local tracks Harlem could be
