CAPT. AMUNDSON IS VICTORIOUS (Continued from page 2) the most remarkable of them all. It was 12,000 feet high and covered with sach broken glaciers that in all prob, abllity no foothold was to be found. “Oscar Wistings,” “Sver Hassels,” and “Olav Hjanlands” mountains also lay here beautifully illuminated in the rays of the bright sun, In the distance, and only alternately to be viewed in the fog, appeared from time to time “Mount Nielsen" with its summits and peaks about 15, 000 feet high. We only saw the nearest surroundings. It took us three days to surmount the Devil's Glacier, al- ways In misty weather, On the 1st of December we left this broken glacier with holes and crevices without number, with its height of 9,100 feet. Before us, looking, in the mist and snowdrifts, like a frozen sea, appeared a light, sloping ice plateau filled with small hummocks. The walk over this frozen sea W mot pleasant. The ground under us was quite hollow and it sounded as though we were walking on the bot- toms of empty barrels. As it was, a man fell through, them a couple of dogs. We could not use our skis on this polished ice. Sledges had the best of it. The place has the name of the “Devil's Dancing Room.” This part of our march was the most unpleasant. On December 6th we got our greatest height, according to the hypsometer and aneroid, 10,750 feet, at 87 degrees 4 minutes south. On December 8th we came out of the bad weather. Onca again the sun smiled on us. Once again we could get an observation. Dead reckoning and observation were exactly alike—88 degrees 38 minutes 16.6 seconds south, Before us lay an absolutely plain plateau, only here and there marked with tiny sastrugle. In the afternoon we passed 88 de grees 23 minutes (Shackleton’s fur. thest south was 88 degrees 25 minutes ‘We camped and established our last depot, No. 10. From 88 degrees 25 minutes the plateau began to slopa down very gently amd smoothly to- ‘wards the other side. On December 9 we reached 3¢ de, grees 89 minutes; on December 10! 88 degrees 56 minutes; December 11 89 degrees 15 minutes; December 12 89 degrees 30 minutes; December 13 89 degrees 45 minutes. | Up to this time the observationa and dead reckoning agreed remarkably well, and we made out that we ought to be at the pole on December 14 in! the afternoom. That day was a beautiful ome, a light breeze from southeast, tempera. ture minus 23 Celsius (9.4 degrees be- low gzero Fahrenheit), and the ground and sledging were perfect. The day went along as usual, and at 3 P. M. we made a halt. According to our reckoning we had reached our destination. All of us gathered around the colors—a beau- titul silk flag—all hands taking hold| of it, planting it. The vast plateau on which the pole is standing has the name of “King Haakon VII Plateau.” It is @ vast plain, alike in all direc. tions; mile after mile during the night we circled around the camp, In the fine weather we spent the following day taking a series of ob. servations from 6 A. M. to 7 P. M. The result gave us 89 degrees 55 minutes. pole aa d, as near south as possible, the remaining 9 kfl. meters. On December 16 we camped. It was an excellent opportunity, as there was & brilliant sum. Four of us took ob. servations every hour of the day’s twenty-four hours. The exact result will be the matter of a professional private report. This much is certain—that we obv served the pole as closely as it is in human power to do it with the instru, ments we had—a sextant and an artt ficial horison. On December 17th everything was in order on the spot. We fastemed to the ground a Ilittle tent we had brought along, a Norwegian flag and the Fram pendant on the top of it. The Norwegian home at the South Pole was called “Polheim.” The dis. tance from our winter quarters to the pole was about 1,400 kilometers, The average march a day was 26 kilo- meters. We started on the return trip Deov ember 17. Usually favorably weather made our way home considerably easi- er than the journey to the pole, We arrived at our winter quarters, “Fram. heim,” January 25, 1913, with twe sledges and eleven dogs, all well. The daily average speed on the re- turn trip was 36 kilometers; the low- est temperature was minus 31 Celsius (23.8 degrees below zero Fahrenheit), the highest minus 5 degrees Celsius, (23 degrees above zero Fahrenheit). The expedition to King Edward VII Land under the command of Lieuten- ant Prestud has given excellent re- sults. Scott's discoveries have been confirmed, and the survey of the Bay of Whales and of the Barrier done by the Prestud party are of great imter- est. A good geological collection from King Xdward VII and South Victoria Land is being brought home, The Fram arrived at the Bay of Whales January 9. She had been de- layed by the “Roaring Forties” on account of the easterly winds. On January 16 the Japanese ex- pedition arrived at the Bay of Whales and landed on the barrler mear our ‘winter quarters. We left the Bay of ‘Whales on January 30. It was a long voyage, With contrary winds. All are well. Roald Amundsen, Eyesight of the Mouse. How much does a mouse ses?

' Microscopic PRODUCER OF PLAYERS St. Louis Has at Least One in Every League in Country. Mound Olty Sends 160 Boys to Differ ent Clubs This Season—Fred Qdarke of Plttsburg Gets Big- gest Part of Talent That St. Louls is the greatest base- ball player-producing city on the map is proven by the fact that more than 180 boys from the Mound City will earn their living as members of differ- ent league clubs. At least one player is represented in nearly every league in the country. Every one of these men has at one time played in the Trolley league or on some of the 8t Louls lots. Of this big number of ball tossers, 16 are big leaguers, one of them being a member of the Osrdinals. Gene Dale, a pitcher of whom Roger Bres- nahan said nice things last fall. Fred Clarke of the Pirates seems to get the biggest part of the St. Louls major league talent every year. This sea- son he wlill start on his training trip with five Mount Cityans. Bobby Byrne, who bhas been third sacking for the past two seasons, and Lefty Leffleld, the mainstay of the twirling staff last season, are the two “vets” of the team. Ray Jansen, who played with the Keokuk (Central association) team last season and who will furnish competition for Bobby Byrne at the far corner; Walter Regh, a shortstop who was drafted by the Red Sox but Bobby Byrne. was obtalned on a claim by the Pirates, amd who will iry to beat the mighty Honus Wagner out of his job; and Bill Kelly, who is a battery mate of the famous $22,504 Marty O'Toole, are the three recruits. The Cubs have two, Ed Reulbach, one of the mainstays in the pitcher’a box, and Artie Hofman, who is rated ‘&8 one of the best outflelders in. the National league. | Arthur Fletcher, who warmed the bench for McGraw a couple of mea- sons, finally; 'got Al Bridwell’s job at short, and who was a star of the last world's serfes, is the only member of the teams representing Gay Gotham. Vin Campbell, star outflelder, whe has been with the Pirates for the past two seasons, will line up with the Boston Nationals, having been traded for Mike Donlin. | The Phillies will take two young: { sters who played in the Trolley league last season on the spring train- ing trip. ‘Red” Smith, who caught for the Ben Millers, last year's city champions, and ‘Red” Roach, another marksman, who played with the Hyde Parks. There is hardly a chance for these sorrel-topped lads to make good on such a big jump, but aceording ta minor league managers who tried to get them, they are both players of great promise. ‘While the National league takes 11 players, the American only takes 4 3 as members of the White Sox—Rube Peters, who was one of the star pitch- ers in the American association with the Minneapolis team; Chink Mat tick, an outfielder, who hails from the western league, and who had a trial last spring under Hughey Dufty, and Joe Berger, a shortstop, who alse comes from the Western league. They will make the training trip under the eye of Jimmy Callahan. Berger had & trial last spring under Clark Grif- fith, then manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Bob Groom, who has been a member of the Washington team for several seasong as & pitcher, Is the fourth member of the Amerlcm league. \ In addition to this grand tolll of | 160 baseball players, St. Louis swill | also send out two umpires, Garrett Bush, who graduated to the National league from the Texas league last fall, and “Red” Held, who will work in the Conecticut league. To Introduce Polo. Polo is to be added to the list of in- tercollegiate sports if the program of several enthusiasts at Yale, Princeton | and Harvard is carried out. Efforts | will be made to enroll a fourth college, possibly Columbia or Pennsylvania. There are about a dozen men at Yale who have played the game extensively and these men will form the nucleus of the . squad. Louis E. Stoddard, Yale ’99, one of the American interna- tional players, haa consented to coach the local team and will lend some of his ponies, which are quartered at & farm near the city. Murray Lauds Barry. Billy Murray, the well known base- ball manager, says that in two years everybody will be saying that Jack Barry, the Athletics’ shortstop, is the best man in the business covering that position.

Few people who have not read the histories of St. Patrick know any- thing of the miracles and conversions accredited to him displays love, faith, sweetness, hu- mility and self-sacrifice. Wrote His Confessions. St. Patrick was not only a priest, apostle and missionary, but he also must be given a place among the contemporary writers of his day.

Writing of his first visit to Ireland, he says: “After I had come to Ireland every day I tended the herds, and during the day I prayed often. More and more the love and fear of God grew in me and my faith and zeal were in- creased, so that daily I said a hun- dred prayers, and nightly too. Even when I was in the forests and on the mountain I used to get up before day- break to pray in snow and frost and rain. ‘- And I felt no discomfort, nor was there any sloth in me, as I found ‘When | Senator Robert M.

St. Patrick’s Parade in Gotham. New York, March 18. -The Irish societies of the metropolis anticipat- ed St. Patrick’s day by holding the big parade, which is the spectacular feature of ‘their annual celebration, today, on account of tomorrow being Sunday. One of the novelties in the line of march this year were the star performers of the Irish-Ameriacn Athletic club, bearing the trophies and banners won by the famous ath- letic organization at home and abroa.

Its constant questions are for the most part answered “humorously” and hence incorrectly, or they are not answered “at all.

The lower animals take their young seriously and train them from the start with a very defi- nite purpose in view. Yet their pos- sibilities "are infinitesimal as com- pared with those of the average baby.
