The wind at times is so strong on
eastern Long Island, according to John
Hand of Wainscott, that it has removed
sand from wagon tracks made 200
years ago. In the early days there was
a highway where broadwheeled wagons
were drawn by oxen along the beach
Hand says he found some OF these old
tracks, the wind having carried the

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Eighteen
stakes for the 1910 season Of the Co
ney Island Jockey club, and also the
1912 Futurity, will close today, and
the entries received indicate that the
horsemen are looking forword to a
prosperous year for racing in the met
ropolitan district With two excep-
tons, all the stakes show a consid-
cradle increase over last year. A total
of almost $4,000 is to be run for at
the June meeting.
Seven of the stakes are for horses
three years old and over; four are ex-
clusively for Swear olds and seven are
for the 2-year- olds. Beginning with
the Suburban handicap it has a guar
anteed value of $4,000 as against $4,000
last season The Commonwealth and
Advance each show an increase in
value of $500, being $500 stakes in
$1,000, as against $4,000 next year.
The Coney Island handicap, which
had an added value of $500 last year
and was an overnight race, is made a
$4,000 stake The Sheepshead Bay
handicap run as a selling race last
season, and with an additional value
of $1,000 is made race of $4,000
guaranteed and a like change mas
ben made in the value of the Long
Island ha 1dicap. The Grass SelI1ng,
from being an overnight race with an
added value of $500, has been in
creased to $500 guaranteed.

stakes and the Swift have been raised.
The first named stake was raised To
$4,000, which is $500 over the amount
raced for at the last running, while
the Swift goes from $1,000 added to
$4,000 guaranteed.
TWo-year- Odds are treated with re-
markable liberality. The Great Trial
has grown from $4,000 to $4,000, and
almost a like increase has been MADE
in the Double event. At the last meet
ing this race was worth s200j added,
with $1,000 to go to each running. For
this year it becomes a guaranteed
stake, with the guarantee of $4,000, or
$4,000 for each half.
The Foam, Surf, Daisy, and Pansy

an added value of $400 last season
show a great increase. The first two

The heavyweight situation for the
year ending and probably for years to
come, remains unchanged, with Frank
A. Gotch, of Humbolt, Ia, by far the
greatest mat exponent of the age. Dur
ing the year it was my fortune-or to
be more explicit, my misfortune-to
taste the bitterness of defeat at the
hands of Frank Gotch. Looking back
to my bouts with the worlds champion
1 feel satisfied with the showing l
made, and still more satisfied because
l made the best showing of any.
On April IA, before tremendous
crowd, Frank Gotch. at Chicago, de-
feated Yussif Mahmout. The latter.

ably outdraw any other city in the
country. For good, ordinary, evenly
balanced card, however, Kansas City is
the best wrestling center in the United
States. Let us say Chicago and Kansas
City head the list. New York city, at
best, is a rube town, and wrestling is
not the best paying sport there. Wrest-
ling will not thrive in any get-rich-
quick neighborhood.
Buffalo, Seattle, Cleveland, Minneap-
oils, Omaha, Des Moines and Baltimore
follow in the order named. Like all
t!ier athletes, I have, of course, my
favorite spot where like to work. Sc
attic by far has favored me the most
and. of course. I would rather work
there for purse even a little less than
to work elsewhere for little more.
Farmer Burns, in my opinion, is the
most w .nderful wrestler in the world
When you figure his age, his many
years of service in the harness, his alb
solute reliability and honesty, you can
not help admiring the old grizzly.
Mighty few wrestlers today can beat
the farmer, and not one. not even
Gotch, can afford to take liberties with
him. Burns, as much as anyone else,
deserves credit for placing the mat
game where it stands today.
Prom tiers? The game could not
thrive without promoters. They also
deserve great credit and the brisk COM
petition for big matches has also slim
ulated the game.
Frank Gotch winning the title from
George Hackenschmidt was the cause
Of the biggest boom for the wrestling
game Since that time Gotch's willing
ness to give Hack return match and
the tanned Russian Lions sidestepping
tactics have convinced every follower
of the game that the match was un-
doubtedly on the square.

tracks for Europe. After spending
several weeks on the other side of the

fighter get in this shape so easily with

opinion, Charles Olsen is the best light
heavyweight in the game. There are
other men calling themselves light
heavyweights, but doubt whether they
can make the weight. which is 165
pounds. The light heavyweight at best
is mongrel division. but if there is
such a thing, 1 must give the title to
Olsen.
The middleweights, seems to me, are
headed by Henry Gehring, of Cleveland
a rafting good man, and one who can
make the weight Max Luttbeg, Eu-
gene Trombley, Johnny Billiter. George
Bothner and several others claim the
lightweight title. Were asked to pick
the man who technically holds the til
tie, 1 would pick Eugene Trombley
without a moments hesitation.
So much for the championships.
Good Year for Wrestlers.
The year just closed was by far the
most prosperous ever enjoyed by the
grapplers. So many reasons can be
given for it, but to my opinion there is
only one reason that can properly be
assigned for the wonderful success of
the wrestling game-honesty. No mat
ter what you hear, no matter what the
scandal mongers will say, the game all
over the country has steadily grown
popular in the last ten years and sure
ly the sport would have suffered had
dishonest methods prevailed. The men
who are charged in various parts of
the country with operating skin games
and at different times using the word
wrestling to further their ends, have
no more to do with the real game than
