coNFIRMAroRY MESSAGES
FROM PEARY's PARTY
Government Officially Notified of Sue
COS. Of Expedition-Friends Of Elk.
porsrs Believe Cook and Peary
Raced From the North to Get First
Claims Before the World.

The announcement Of Peary that
he discovered the pole rivets the
attention Of the entire civilized
world. Whatever question of pri-
ority may exist between the claims
Of Peary and Cook, there can be no
doubt that 10 the United States be-
longs the unquestionable credit and
lasting renown of discovering the
pole.
The question Of priority In reach
ing the pole now absorbs the at
tention in this country and Europe.
There is no question that Peary
will claim to be the first dis
coverer. Aside fro mthe question
Of priority Peary's announcement
Of rea 57,'ing the pole appears to be
accepted thruout the United
States and the world-at-large by
scientists as we'll as by the gen.
eral public, and there is the alb
sence Of doubt and skepticism
which greeted the Cook announce
ment.
There Is. however. an apparent
reserve of judgment on the ques-
tion Of priority between the two
explorers. Cook in an Interview at
Copenhagen today says he is the
First to shout 'Hurrah for Peary.'
If he telegraphed the announce
ment that he reached the pole, then
1t is true and congratulate him"
Cook also states that he does not
want any controversy. No further
word direct from Peary has been
received today, nor can there be
any further word from him until
he reaches Chateau Bay, Labra-
dor, tonight OF tomorrow.

Salt Lake, viii bat the first ball. Edward
Naples, the press agent of the OrDheum,

the whole game and some exciting play
is promised for the fans.
Charles Kent used to captain an Eng
fish team in England and has consented
to play for the English side If the OppOs-

prospects Coach Palm said that there was
an abundance Of good timber in Provo

his time to the sport. lie thought that
a number of games could be arranged
with the L. Of L., the salt Lake hg1

also with Idaho, so that the team viii
be kept busy
The B. Y. T., which at one time had
the champion team in tie state, mas us-

LOOKS LIKE EVEN MONEY BETTING
WHEN KETCHEL AND LANCFORD MEEI

New York, Sept. 4-Had Stanley Ketch-
el and Sam LangfOrd been matched six
months ago, the black man undoubtedly
would have been a prOhibitive favOrite
in the betting. Today opinions have
changed, and when these two finally do
shake hands it will be found there will
be but little difference in the odds eth
er way. And this in the face of KetChelS
rather Indifferent showing against Pap
Ike a month or more ago. If either man
is a firm faVOTite over the other, it viii
be because his supporters have larger
bank rOlls-a mere prepOnderance Of
money. Regardless of how a battle be
tween them might result today, it looks
like an even money proposition and take
your pick. LangfOrds admirers smile
when a fight between them is mentioned.
look wise, nod the head knowingly and
put up two fingers, sometimes three. This
means they figure Sam to win in two OF
perhaps three rounds. If you ask
Ketchel man what he thinks Of it, he
will say:
break LangfOrd's heart before they have
gone very far
There is one point upon which all sides
a agree. If LangfOTd can't win in six rounds
or less he'll be worse than a ten to one
he will have to win in a hurry if at all
It's rather a hard one to pick and will
keep the boys guessing for true.
1t is when you compare the men care
fully that It IS so hard TO say VINO IS
the better man. Everything considered
they are about as near equal as two men
could be-befOTe the fight. The battle it
self may tel! a far different story. This
is the way many of the closer students
dope it out. Langford is the trickier and
more scientific. Ketchel is faster and
presumably the gamer. The latter state
ment is based on LangfOrds bouts with
Jack johnson and Joe jeanette. With
Jeanette at Lawrence, Mass, he stopped
{ in, efv
continued. Nobody ever heard Of Ketchel
chueking it while he was conscious. With
johnson at Chelsea Sam didn't STOP but
he didn't give evidence that he possessed

States, are still playing tennis, and
winning, too. in England, as best evil
denced by their victory in the recent
invitation doubles at the Nottingham
shire tournament, in which they tri-
umphed over Gore and his partner in
the final round. The DOhertys have a
record that is unique in English tennis
for together they held the doubles title
from 81 to '01 inclusive ana again from
1903-'05. In singles r. F. DOherty was
champion from '97-19OO and H l.
Doherty from 19O2-'06. Their presence
on the invading team would surely have
insured some higher class tennis on the

promised, albeit the chances Of the
