BRITISH GOLFER TO Sextet of Gredtest Horses in West Which Race Here This Week Late Millionaire Was Lover of Trotting Horses and Pro moted Goshen. Amateur Champion Will Play Series of Games Here This Month. ' numb saved grand ciuiters CIJMF TO AMERICA r (PubllPhPin' PrMii IdMd Wire New York, Sejn. 2. It Is not general ly known outsi'de the trotting horse world that the late E. H. Harrlman was an enthusiastic admirer of the harness horse and did much to advance the Interest of this typical American' product. The, recent grand circuit meet on the Goshen track Ik directly due to Mr. Harrlman and the determination of Mrs. Harrlmnn to carry out her hus band's plnns in, this respect. The trot ting vorld viewed this meeting, with considerable Interest, for already the cry has gene up In harness raclntr cir cles that the solvation of the sport in the east 'rests in the half-mile tracks, and If this one proves the success it if expected the tracks at Resdville and Hartford will he cut in half. When the followers of the uport in this city decided not to try last year's costly experiment of having a grand cir cuit meeting at Empire City, It left a leap In the grand circuit that spelled ruin for the meetings at Ueadvllle, Hartford and the state fair at Syracuse, for the flyers would not lay lip for a week. E. H. Harrlman was the fore most., admirer of the trotter In this , country and when the anti-betting laws put the kibosh on thoroughbred racing he came to the rescue with a meeting at Goshen. Mrs. Harrlman has followed her husband's example In this respect, and Gosheh's meetings during the past ,three years have shown that trotting race on a half-mile track can be made profitable with the absence of. betting.

Frank.. (jot fn. the world's cham pion wrestler, will defend bin title against George Hackenschmidt. the "Russian Hon;" from whom tbo Iowa trappier wrested the championship in a contest in thla city on April a, 1908. The bout has attracted attention on both sides of the Atlantic and. should prove the choicest tid-bit that haa been Offered followers of the game In a long while. ' The men will wrestle to f ln ' Ish, the wlniur a-alnrnir two talla out of three and carrying off tiys lion's share of the gate receipts besides a large side bet and Xm championship title, . , reaUera are reported today, to , be In the finest fettle for the match, and all indications point to a desperate struggle for supremacy. In a broad sense the contest will be one of clever- ' ness against strength and endurance. ! Gotch is acknowledged to be the clever est wrestler who ever stepped on the j mat. llackensclin idt employs no little I science In his moves, but his main reli ance always has been his wonderful power if strength and endurance. Gotch Has Defeated Them AIL Nearly all critics are agreed that Frank (joteh In ; the greatest -wrestling champion since (he days 6f Jack; Car keck, when the latter was at his best. Not so many years ago Gotch was work ing on a farm in Inwa. "Farmer" Burns, the old time wrestler, owned the farm and it was as a scrt of trainer to Burns that Gotch started in the game. That was In the year 18S9. Since that time the Iownn has engaged in 831 matches, not counting many minor affairs, and of this number he lost only seven, five of them being handicap matches. In which he failed to throw his man ' as many times as agreed., Gotch practically be came champion in 190 when be .defeated , championship three years ago. Gotch won without a fall,, as Hackenschmidt gave ub after two hours and eight min utes of work on the mat without any sign of a fall. Xaok an All Around Athlete. There Is probably no athlete in the world with a greater reputation than George Hackenschmidt. Previous to taking up wrestling he was considered the strongest msn in 'Europe, and he was also one of the greatest athletes in all around work. His first notable mat contest was with Paul Pons'at that time the Greco-Roman rhampion of the world. Hackenschmidt won the match in 46 minutes. His success determined him to become a professional wrestler. In the succeeding years he defeated all'the best men of Europe, wlthhut any appar ent trouble. One of the most exciting matches he ever had was when he met Madrali, the "Terrible Turk," with an unbeaten record. The match was for the, world's championship. Notwith standing the great strength and weight of the' Turk, .Hackenschmidt defeated him In Just 44 seconds. Not until he met Frank Gotch did the big Russian know the sting of defeat. Hacken schmidt acknowledges that Gotch Is tile cleverest mat in the game, but, he de clares that In the -coming match -he will he able to undermine the strength of the champion with his far greater strength and in the end will be returned the winner.. of the card, but large numbers of good runners are coming In and two or three running races a day will be given.
