four hits on Mullin in the first in
ming. After that the great Mullin was
inyincible until the ninth when he
weakened enough TO get into dan
gerous situation only to extricate him
self by another marvellous exhibition
Of pitching.
Detroit put up another of it's won
derful uphill games. The American
League champions scored one run in
the first inning and batted Willis on
the slab by scoring two runs in the
fourth and one more In the fifth by
terrific batting. Camitz succeeded
Willis and Detroit batted him hard
enough TO get another run in the.
sixth inning. Camitz was withdrawn
when Hyatt batted for him in the
seventh and the veteran Philippe
stopped the Detroit scoring.
The ninth inning rally of Pittsburg
teemed with tense moments and incl
dents. At one time hit meant the
possible winning of he championship
by Pittsb1rg as single would have
tied the score and two dagger per-
haps would have put Pittsburg in the
lead.
Miller Starts Rally.
Pittsburg went to bat with the score
inc in 10 laG
Miller started with single to right and
Abstein put another in the same place,
senoing Miller TO second. Wilson
placed a bunt in front OF the plate and
Schmidt fielded ii to first, but the
collision with Wilson caused Jones to
lose the ball, Miller scoring and Alb
stein moving to third. The delay oc-
casioned by Tom Jones injury gave
Mullin hard earned opportunity to
recover his balance.
Gibson grounded % Crawford, wlo
had succeeded Jones at erst, and the
star outfielder made great stop and
throw to the plate. Abstein was out
when Schmidt blocked him of the
plate and tagged him out. but the
Detroit catcher was badly spiked. He
continued gamely. however. and few
knew that he had been injured.
Mullins Great Performance.
Manager Clark sent Abbatachio in
to bat for PHILIPPE. With Wilson on sec
ond and Gibson on first a hit by Abbata-
chic meant a tie score at least. Here
is where Mullin arose TO the occasion
and made himself another niche in
the Detroit baseball hall of fame.
Abbaticchio was a stubborn batter and
1t required nearly everything Mullin
had to strike him out. On the third
strike Wilson tried to steal third, but
was caught, Schmidt to Moriarty,
ending the game with victory for
Detroit.
The waning interest in the series
was clearly shown by the fact that
only 10 535 persons saw the game.
Hans Wagner played marvellous
game in the field. but made only one
hit in four times at bat.

of the game was a double made by

When Professor Marshall H. Saville,

mittee which has been investigating
DR.. Cooks claims to having ascended
Mount Mckinley, was told of the YER
dict reached by the University of Cop

"Well, what is there new in that?
Everyone expected it. 1 knew DR.. Cook

been to the North pole. Every scien-

PEARY REFERS TO HIS
WARNING SENT FROM
COAST OF LABRADOR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-'Three
months ago from the Labrador coast 1
sounded an explicit and deliberately
worded warning to the world, based
upon complete and accurate informa-
tion, in regard to the Cook claims. In
doing so 1 accepted the responsibility
devolving upon me and fulfilled my
duty to myself and to the world"
With these words Commander Rob-
ert E. Peary today pointedly expressed
his sentiments regarding the failure of
the University of Copenhagen to find
any proof of the discovery of the north
pole by DR.. Frederick A. Cook.
In his apartments on Columbia road
Commander Peary received the Asso-
ciated Press representative, who ap-
prised him of the decision by the Den
mark scientists aginst DR.. Cook. Not
so much as a suspicion of smile IL
lumined his stern face, but his eyes
lighted up with the welcome knowl-
edge of a vindication which had come
to him after difficult trials.
81 have known the outcome of this
since weeks before / reached this coun-
said. "It was not a matter of belief
with me, but of absolute knowledge.
However. l shall not discuss this
matter in detail for publication. 1t is
not necessary.
1.-The warning which 1 sent to the
country before I landed is still suf1-
cient. You remember my cablegram
from Battle Harbor. Here is the ex-
act wording of it:
"'Cook has not been to the pole
April 21, 1908, or any other date. He
has simply handed the public gold
brick"
With this Commander Peary de-
clined further to discuss DR.. Cook or
his affairs, and it was evident he re-
garded the controversy as ended. He
declined to say whether he considered
it possible for DIR. Cook to proceed fur
ther in presenting additional evidence
or in submitting his data to other
courts of authority.
my friends may consider this de-
cision a complete vindication of their
attitude on this whole subject, but as
for me, do not care to comment,
said Peary in conclusion.
Prof. Willis l.. Moore, president of
the National Geographic society,
which through a committee of the
body is conducting an investigation
into the discovery of the north pole,
said:
"Our own committee will continue
its work, so that its report may be
complete and contain a full history of
the discovery of the pole.
Il presume that neither the Univer-
sity of Copenhagen nor DR.. Cook now
will have any objection to our COM
mittee examining the original records,
and l expect the committee will still

ARCTIC EXPLORER NOW
DISCREDITED IN HOUSE
OF NEW YORK FRIENDS

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Honored by
the king of Denmark, heralded by the
University of Copenhagen, garlanded
with wreaths of roses by young girls
accorded the freedom of the city of
New York and acclaimed by thousands
as the braVest man who ever dared the
silent terrors of the arctic, DR.. Fred
ericl1 A. Cook stands tonight discred-
tied in the house of his friends.
Not a word from him in defense or
explanation. Nothing but disavowals
from his partisans in the controversy
that has ragged about him ever since he
first flashed word from Lerwick, in the
Shetland island. to his wife:
Successful well, address Copenha-
gen."
Even that address is lacking tonight.
Only his brother still stands stubborn
ly by him, refusing to believe that the
verdict of the University of Copen-
hagen has been correctly reported
Interest tonight turns to three ques-
tions: Where is the doctor? What will
he have to say for himself? What
will he do with himself?
Charles Wake, a close friend, and
DR.. Cooks brother in Brooklyn, say
he is at Chrstiansand, Norway with
his wife, but that the children are at
school in this country.

COOKS BACKER SAYS HE
HAS FOOLED ALL, FROM
DENMARK'S KING DOWN

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-'If the public
knew the truth concerning DIR. Cooks
mental and physical condition as it Is
known by his close friends, they would
take a more charitable view Of his
present unfortunate situation" said
II. wellington Wack, counsel for DR..
Cook, today when told the University
of Copenhagen had rejected Cooks
proofs that he had been to the north
pole.
Wack said he would like to make a
full statement concerning DR.. Cook,
but could not do so until he received
the consent of the explorer.
There is much that might be said
that would throw a full light on DR..
Cooks condition. mean by this the
things that / and his friends observed
when he was here in New York. But
l can say nothing"
He has fooled us all, from the king
Of Denmark down." was the eXclama-
tion of John r. Bradley, DR.. Cooks
backer i'm his Arctic trip, when APP
prised of the news form Copenhagen.
"And he fooled me with the rest"
Bradley added. "As a matter of fact,
/ long ago lost all interest in Cook,
the north pole and everything con-
nected with it. Polar bears and the
wild life of the Arctic in general are
ested me much in that connection.

while he was at Gramatan, and as
matter of fact hardly had an hours
solid conversation with him all the
Ii hn 1f
from the Arctic.
'I discounted this decision from Cop
enhagen some time ago" continued
Bradley "In common with the rest of
the world, 1 was delighted with the
first news from DR.. Cook that he had
discovered the pole. His actions, how
ever, and his failure to make more
than meager statements regarding his
trip which early followed his return TO
civilization. took some of the smack
off the supposed triumph.
81 began to weaken decidedly when
DR.. Cook left us all without so much
as a word of goodbye. When man
runs away, you can't expect his
friends to fight for him and Cooks
flight-for that's what it seems to
me to amount to-killed all my inter-
est in him and his affairs. Before that
l never had had reason TO doubt Cook,
and his whole course in this matter
seems inexplicable to me.
81 am sick of the whole blooming
polar business, and l don't want to
hear anything more about the north
pole or its attributes"
From my personal knowledge of DR..
Cook and my knowledge of the work
in the Arctic l never wavered in my
belief that DR.. Cook never could prove
the claim he made" said Herbert L.
Bridgman, secretary of the Peary
Arctic club. when informed of the ver-
dict of the Copenhagen scientists. II

Peary and the Eskimos that Cook had
not gone far north.

point on the polar ice not specifically
indicated, but west of AXel Heiberg
land.
The papers were not accompanied by
a private letter from Cook, but Secre-
tary Lonsdale stated verbally to the
committee the original notes and books
of the explorer from which his copies
were made had been sent to Europe by
another route as a precautionary mea-
sure and would be delivered to the
university in the course of a few days.
In presenting the data LOnsdale
stated explicitly and repeatedly the
copy numbered was a complete and
accurate duplicate of the information
contained in all of Cooks note books
that could be of any Importance to the
university for the purposes of the eX-
animation.
In spite Of the explorers promise
and his secretary's assurance that they
would be forthcoming, the committee is
not yet in possession of the original
note books and diaries.
Up to this time it had been impos-
sible for the university authorities to
re-establsh communication with DIR.
Cook, which was suspended some time
ago. The explorers address is not
known here, even to Secretary Ions
dale.
After the members of the examining
board had made themselves acquainted
individually with the material delivered
and so convinced themselves of its
worthlessness as a means of determin-
ing whether Cook reached the pole, the
president, Professor Stromgren, called
a general meeting for last Friday,
when the report to the university, and
which now is made public, was
drawn up.
Lonsdale, who had been invited to
this meeting to answer some questions,
brought with him a letter which he had
received from Cook, which bore neither
the place nor date of its writing.
The opened envelope, however, bore
the postmark of Marseilles, December
IA, 1909. The same envelope contained
a letter addressed by Cook to the
former rector of the University of Co
penhagen, Prof. Torp. The letter to
Torp was dated New York.
In his letter to Prof. Torp, Cook
states that not only were his instru-
ments left at Etah as indicated in his
cable to the university of October 20.

AMUNDSEN SAYS EITHER
SWlNDLE OR IGNORANCE

CHRISTIANIA, Dec. 21.-"Nobody
could feel more sorrow at the commits

for L had learned to appreciate Cook
as a devoted friend and an honest
man." said Capt. Roald Amundsen to-
day. "The important question now is
whether he is a swindler or merely
ignorant. I prefer to believe that DR.
Cook himself was confident that he had
arrived at the pole. If he is swindling
he must have changed his character in
the last ten years"
