Dooley Hopes To Match New York
 War Relief Gifts

Pawtucket, R. T., June 1i-"SilentA Judge Jim Doloey, president of Mar ragansett Racing association, actu. ally waxed loquacious this morning in praise of the magnificent 1ok. turned in by Beymont Park, which at @ benefit matinee last Saturday raised the important sum of $l07,- 900 for. Americas war chest. Hc also paid high tribute to the other New York courses which have pledged themselves to match Bel- mont's effort dollar for dollar.
 Those close to the Judge know that he secretly nurses an ambition that Narragasnett park In its con- tribution to the war chest and to local charities will equal or even surpass these imposing figures.
 This war season of 1922 found the Gansett management face to face with @ delicate problem. 1li- mediate funds were needed for Army and Navy Relief, for the Red Cross and for the United Service o Organizations. But in the eight years of its operation, Narragansett has raised more than $300,O00 tor various Rhode Island charities and 1t had become habitual for several local organizations to build their budgets around GanSett's annual contribution. Whether to continue these or divert alt gid to the Ila- tional effort was a poser, but Gar1- sett's directors decided to shoulder both responsibilities.
 Not So Bad
 At the 25-day spring meeting the sum of $58,227.41 was realized for the war relief agencies and local charities. At the 42-day summer meeting to come, August 10 to Sep- tember 26, Gansett will stage eight special races for the benefit of war relief agencies and will devote two days" net profits to local charities. The war relief races will come on the seven Saturdays of the season and on Labor Day, days when the attendances hit their peak. Dates for the charity rlatinees will be aIl- nounced later.
 Plans for a special campaign to sell war bonds and stamps on open ing day, August 10, are under way. Judge Dooley is now completing ar- arrangements to this end with oftl. cials of the treasury department. Gansett has also agreed to foot the expense bill for a treasury drive to sell war bondso and stamps at the Metropolitan theater in Providence on June 2o. Stage and screen stars vii make personal appearance on that occasion and movie war shorts will be shown. The affair is under the auspices of the Providence Chamber of Commerce and the the. ater is being given by the Associated Theaters, Inc.

 Bothmer is the youngest old man I ever saw.
 He spent his birthday on the wrestling mat in the West 42nd Street gym he has conducted for years and several hundred friends pitched a party for him in the eve ming.
 Bothner practically is MT Wrest- ling. He toured with his boyhood idol, John L. Sullivan, meeting ale corners.
 Although he never weighed more than 140 pounds, Bothner pinned the 38O-pound Belgian, Pierre Colos- SC, in IS minutes. He tackled the 285-pound Yussif the Terrible Turk, who was weighted down by money belt around his waist when the La- Bouroyne went down of the banks of Newfoundland. He wrestled for six and seven hours in matches for so much a side.
 BOTHNER WREsTLED UNTIL HE WAS 52
 Richard K. Fox would post any amount for him in @ match. He wore the Richard K. Fox belt, em- blematic of the world lightweight championship for nine years. He did not hang up his tack until he fractured his left leg for the third time at the age of 52.
 Bothner coached at the New York Athletic Club, Columbia and Prince ton. He has taught wrestling to more people than anybody who ever lived. Clarence H. Mackay and Oscar of the Waldorf were his pupils at the Bothner A. c.

 Bothner doubts that the dodge could be brought back on 8 serious basis.
 '"The people are so used to ho- kun that they'd walk out on the real stuff," he explains.
