B. Castleman Of Louisville for an en-
durance contest with the latters
Carolina" from the Pacific to the
Atlantic.
Carolina" is a fine specimen of
the Kentucky saddler, noted for her
stamina. Cavalry officers are said to
believe that she will win. General
j. Franklin Bell, chief of staff, Is
particularly interested in the con-
test. At his suggestion. IT is to be
open to all corners.
This transcontinental race is to be
held next spring. The start will be
made from Portland, Ore, probably
in March. and the Oregon trail, blaz-
ed by Lewis and Clark, is to be fol-
lowed as closely as possible to st.

will strike the old national road and
will come over 1t into Washington.

GOTCH WANTS
TO ENTER RING
WRESTLER SEES
EASY GAME AMONG NOTCH
FIGHTERS AS THEY ARE NOW
RATED.
SEES

Again Frank Gotch, the champion
American wrestler, is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of entering the prize
ring, for, as he says, Il just can't
help thinking how easy those fighters
would be for ne. All but Jeffries
would be pie, think" Gotch says
that he knows a good deal about the
fighting game but acknowledges that
he would have to develop faster
punch. He goes on to say:
AS they're hitting in clinches
now, and all that sort of stuff, what
chance would these little so-called
heaVyweights have against me?
There's Tommy Burns, little fellow,
who is as high up the ladder as any
of them. I'm 10 inches taller than
he, and am sure could work up at
least as far as Burns, Shreck and
Kaufman, and the rest of them ought
to be easy picking, and l wouldn't
| have to be any wonder to defeat
them. Tommy Burns wants me to go
! into the fighting game, and as there
| doesn't seem to be surplus of fat
wrestling dates in sight, | think |
may start out soon under his man
agement."
Coming back to the wrestling end
or the game, Gotch says: CDR. Roller
of Seattle, whom I met a year ago
and failed to throw after a solid
hour of hard work, is, in my opinion,
my hardest antagonist in this coun-
try. He's got money and big
practice, though, so I doubt If he
Will ever take up the game seriously.

Fastener, who is now touring Eng
land, he is the biggest lemon that
ever sailed across the ocean. When
he comes back will bet him $1,000
