ARCTIC EXPLORER PEARY IS HONORED Foreign Scientific Organizations Load Discoverer of North Pole with Decorations VTO American, perhaps, ever returned [\ to ills native shores, after a tour ■*■' abroad, loaded with so many honors bestowed by scientific societies as Commander Robert E. Peary. When he landed in New York June 17 lie brought with him nix gold medali and one silver medal—the highest honon of the moat distinguished foreign sci entific bodies and the silver model of a shin presented to him by the. Royal Scottish Geographical society. Commander I'eary's visit to foreign Cltlei Was the occasion of a series of wildly demonstrative ovations. In lilm the authorities in law, science and lit erature of foreign nations recognised American pluck, persistence and suc cessful achievement and accepted the verdict of the National Geographical society of his own county, which passed upon his proofs and awarded him a medal on November 3, 190' J. DurliiK his trip abroad Peary told the story of his quest twlco In London and Berlin and once in Home, Vienna, Budapest, Brussels, Antwerp, Edin burgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Hristol and Manchester, While In Edinburgh Peary was presented by the Koyal Scottish Geographical society with an exquis itely chased silver ship. The model, vhich Is of the typo of the vessels us<d in the latter part of the sixteenth century, stands two feet high and weighs 100 ounces. It Is three masted and under full sail. Gold medals, hall- Ing him as the discoverer of the North Pole, were presented to him by the Hungarian Geographical society, the Royal Kalian Geographical society, the Royal Geographical society of Ant werp, the Imperial German Geograph ical society of Berlin, the Royal Brit ish Geographical society, the Royal Belgian Geographical society and the Austrian Geographical society, which gave him the Yon Haver medal, its highest award. LONDON RECEPTION Commander Peary received his most enthusiastic ovation in Prince Albert hall, London, when he delivered a lec ture under the auspices of the Royal Geographical society. On the. platform were more than 100 of Great Britain's most distinguished men. In welcoming him, Ma-Jor Leonard Darwin, president of the society, said: "I stand here tonight as representa tive of the Royal Geographical society and armed with the full authority of Its council to welcome you, Commander Peary, as the first and only human be ing who has ever led a party Of Ms fellow creatures to a pole of the earth." . A vote of thanks to Commander Peary was proposed by Sir George Nares and seconded by Sir Lewis Beaumont. Among the audience which greeted Peary in Rome were King Victor Em manuel of Italy, the duke of the Abruzzi, the Marquis di San Giuliano, minister of foreign affairs, pnd the Marquis Capelll. "In contrast to the. action ot Euro pean nations the country of his birth und life-long allegiance, for whose glory he has walked for years hand In hand with death, whose nag he. un furled at the top of the earth, seems niggardly in paying honor to Peary. Scientific bodies, rulers, municipalities of foreign lands have united in crown- Ing Peary with the laurels that are his due. As the final conqueror of the fastnesses of the north; as the ex plorer who in his own person, by dint of toil, tenacity, fearlessness and in vincible purpose, has won against odds which for three hundred years have vanquished brave and distinguished explorers; as the man who has again proved man's power to conquer the hostile forces of nature, these great European bodies have felt that in honoring Peary they have honored themselves. The highest authorities In the world have bestowed on him the greatest gifts In their power." DASH TO rOI.E In the July number of Hampton's Magazine Peary for the first time be gins to present his proofs. These will be continued in the August number. These proofs consist of minutely de tailed descriptions of scientific observ ations made by Peary and other mem bers of his party and a detailed day by-day account of his progress, sys tem of marches, organization and sup plies. Without mentioning the name of Dr. Cook, Peary makes it plain in his narrative that without his exten sive supplies, supporting parlies and syßtem of marching it would be im possible for a single white man to make his way over the perilous polar Ice and overcome almost insuperable obstacles to the pole. The installment of Commander Peary's story in the July Hampton's takes him and his party up to 87 de grees 12 minutes, which was beyond his previous farthest north. Up to March 22, because of the slight alti tude of the sun, no obssrvations had been taken. On vhat day Peary or dered the Eskimos to build a wind shelter, behind which Marvin took a meridian altitude. The result of these first observations, Peary says, gave their position .as approximately 85 de grees 48 minutes mrth latitude. Peary's plan was to have Marvin take all observations up to the point where he turned back, and Bartlett take them from that point to his farthest north. Thiß was donj in order to save the explorer's eyes and to have Inde-' pendent observations with which to check the route. KNICKERBOCKER PLAYERS WIN MINNEAPOLIS TROPHY NIAGARA FALLS.

Y. Mall sporting page. T.OS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY HORNING, JULY 16, 1910. Amateur Notes Pan Diego, bound to be In the pro cension, haa organized a soccer and cricket club, and the English residents are In their element. There Is 'now a well founded rumor of the formation of Southern California cricket and soc cer leagues for the purpose of boosting the two games into popularity among the sportsmen of the southland. Thes.j two imported pastimes are growing daily In the favor of fandon, and now that racing and boxing, the two big diversions of the public, have been sidetracked indefinitely, the amateur sport line will be the only way, and soccer and cricket will come In for their share of the spoils. Amateur' baseball is reaching out everywhere. The latest part of the sunny south to partake of the diamond feast Is the tent city at Coronado, and dally In the favor of fandom, and now applaud the work of the ball manglers. There Is scarcely a town now that can be called a town that does not have its baseball park and heroes of the dia mond, and 1910 looks like a banner year In the history of Southern California amateur baseball. The new Manual Arts high school on San Julian street of this city has pro vided its students with a complete gymnasium and athletic outfit, and the embryo athletes will be brought into the limelight by a competent turps of trainers. Athletics Is coming into its own among the schools of America, and the value of this branch of training is acknowledged by all. Bundy and Hendrlck will leave tomor row for the east and will be accompa nied by Maurice McLoughlin, the San Francisco star racket wielder. Bundy and Hendrick will stop at Salt Lake for the tennis schedule in that city, and will then proceed to Lake Forest, where they will endeavor to prove their right to challenge the national title holders, Hackett and Alexander. Mc- Loughiin will probably stop at the sec tional tourneys on his way through to Newport, but will make the Caaino and another try at the big five his objective points. There are many of the Frisco lad's admirers among the local camps who firmly believe the internationalist will show his true form after last year's experience on the eastern turf, and bring home some of the scalps of the linullsts in the big tourney. Willie Smith, well known profession al golfer and formerly an Angeleno, now connected with the Mexico City Country club, made a fine record in the late St Andrew's championships in Scotland and brought home the fourth prize from this oldest golf event in the world. His work in the first day's nlav led the field and lowered the rec ord of the HnkH for the llrst eighteen holes to 71. Matched against the befct players of the world, Smith's work has shown great class and his many admir ers in Los Angles are highly pleased with his splendid showing. George Reeve, scribe of local fame, has bean having the time of his life around the Ban Diego camna, and has organized a league among the Han Di ego clubs that will play out a summer schedule. He is trying his skill in the twirling department now, and shut out the Torpedo Destroyers in easy fashion last Sunday. He is the principal part of battery of the Three 0 club, and the club members have been endeavoring to persuade him to stay, but rumor has it that Los Angela! will greet him again and he will soon be back on the Job. A new league has been launched to be known as the Junior Amateur IJasebull league composed of the fol- lowing teams, Slausons, Hornets, Grat tans, Grand Avenues, Vernons and Boyle Heights. All the boys are con fident of having the time of their lives in the league household and the older fans in charge of the movement are the heartiest supporters of the new organization. The addition of fresher blood into the ranks of the Sunday afternoon diamond tossers will mean a move for the better and the younger players will have a chance to see what real league playing is like. Already some of the boys are showing signs of coming greatness and it will be from the younger ranks that the older man agers will pick their future teams. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Charles Miller, presi dent; J. M. Carter, vice president; Red Perkins, secretary and treasurer. The league will play n series of twenty-one games beginning July 31. Manager Valentine of the Glendale team has had fine success in the re organization of his Saturday squad and the team that now will he put into th 9 game looks like a sure winner in the series. The lineup will include Proc tor, catcher; Riley and Stuart, pitch ers; Coombs, first base; Fulcher, sec ond base; Rice, third base; Baldwin, shortstop; Andrelni, left field; Knight, center field; Stuart and Riley, right field. The new team will play the Globe Mills at Glendale Saturday. Avalon reports are not of the number but rather the size. There are some big fish running now but they are so far between that only the experienced anglers get away with a respectable haul. The surf fishermen still are hap py and the local beach resorts are al ways the last resort of the tuna and trout chasers. After all there is noth ing like the wharf and bamboo game with a can of clams and a dinner pail. The Sherman Indians and Olinda Oil team will try conclusions at Olinda Sunday and all of the Indian diamond stars arc requested to report at the Pacific Electric depot In time to take the 12:35 o'clock car for Olinda. \ new face anvmg the Southern California nines la the Wolff and .Tops squad playing baseball in San Bernardino. They will try conclusions with the Spence Colts Sunday at San Berdoo. The South Central Mi reliant team hai larued a challenge to the Moneta shopkeeper* for a g.ime with a fat side bet. The manager nC the Moneta boys is requested to call South 1439. An owl handball tournament will !>e held at the Los Angeles Athletic club during the latter part of the month, play to be only between the hours of 4 o'clock in the afternoon and 4 o'clock in the morning. Games will be sched uled by lot for the various watches of the night, and the lucky ones, or un lucky ones, will spend the wee ma' moments in chasing the bounding rub ber around the court. The following club members are entered for th» event- "Cheese" Welton, "Dutch" Heisman, 'Sluts' Taylor. "Parson- Howard, Earl Dutton, "Crab Lacey, Joe Pagllano and "Type" Leonard. There is a great deal of discussion In regard to the location for the Pacific Coast swimming tourney, and Kedoudo is the latest town to send in an appli cation for the meet. Venice and Ue- dondo Beach are considered the two leading contenders for the honor and the decision will be rendered Monday.

The new Interurban league will meet for purposes of organization next Tues day night. The new league will in clude out-of-town teams who have been having a hard time to secure games, and should be a great success. The following- protest has been sent In against the last Saturday contest between the Boston and Blaokstone teams tn the Department Store league: "I hereby hand you a protest against the Boston-Blackstone game which waa played on the Harvard grounds Satur day July 9, and which ended in the seventh inning, 4 to 3, In favor of the Blackstones, on the ground that the umpire and captains were not Informed of the ruling of the board of directors. The rule In question was that 'all games were to be of seven innings' duration.' We therefore respectfully reciuest that this game be played over or that the next frame will decide both contests." COWS ENJOY PHONOGRAPH AND GIVE BETTER MILK DETROIT, July 1 —According to dis patches from Marquette, music has been put to a material use on the farm of J. M. Longyear at IVM Lake. The cows on his farm, it is said, during t' eir confinement in the long summer days in tightly screened barns, are relieved of the irksome monotony of cud-chewing and milk producing by the intersperslon of a variety of selec tions played on a phonograph. The soothing effect of music. It is claimed, judiciously administered dur ing milking time, has been found to be especially successful with cows un der official tests. Several butter rec ords claimed by the farm are credited to the music box. IN THE GOOD*OLD TIMEB A northerner sitting on the veranda of a southern home was enraptured by the beauty of the night.
