throat was cut.
Frightened, the boy turned and ran at

Commander Peary began his address
by explaining quickly the manner in
which the Roosevelt, his ship. reached
the point designated on the frozen wastes
OF the north as Cape Columbia. l3 miles
from the north pole and within the arctic
circle. He told OF the preparations made
by his men and described them with
critical approval. laying special stress on
their courage ana faithfulness. To Capt
Bartlett who was present at the meeting
with Mrs. Peary and her daughter. he at

age OF discovery,
Throughout the address the explorer
made no reference to Or. Cooks explora-
ton. He did not mention any meeting
with the men in the rival explorer s
party. and said nothing Of having come
across igloos belonging to them.
His most remarkable statement was
that after the Roosevelt had been put
into winter quarters the party could have
continued its exploration, even had the
ship been lost

Telling Of the famous -four support

doubted II the average man understood
his object in sending these men back.
The reason we wished 20 have the

Peary, was because it was necessary to
travel from the pole at top speed. The

n ROvIDENCE VS.. Newark, at
Newark, September IS, IA and Is.
That Is what the schedule-makers
decided upon last December when they
drew up the Eastern League schedule
for the playing season of 1909. They
did not at that time know hat when
these two teams met that 1T would be
one of the most important series of the
season. Well, that Is Just what It is
the big noise of the year. Within the
next three days n or the other of the
teams will be practically put out of
the race for that pennant flag. At the
present time Newark Is second in the
race, with a record of IS games won
and SO lost, while Providence stands 70
games won and So lost, and Rochester
is on the road, which spells disaster for
the Hustlers, very likely.
The coming series means to the locals
rooters what the New York-Chicago, or
New York-Pittsburg series means in the
big league. Both the Tigers and Grays
have excellent chances of winning the
bunting. These two teams meet five
times in three days, n there win be
plenty of changes for both teams to
make considerable gain on the Rochester
team, which is now leading by thirteen
points over the locals. That either
Manager Duffy or Joe McGinnity will
be ready at all times to prevent either
from making a runaway affair of
any game is certain. h two teams
are evenly matched, and they always
play good ball when they meet. New
ark has a shade On the Providence
team for the seasons work.
Counting past performances the
Tigers should come out at the big end
of the horn. A single game will be
played today, While tomorrow and
Wednesday double-headers will be on
tap. From now on until the season is
over the Tigers are at home except
next Saturday, when the locals go over
to the Shelters yard in Jersey City for
two games. Playing at home will be a
big advantage to the locals, as they
have played great ball on the local lot.
