Only two of the six cars that started wera able to complete the trip. The win-ner, driven by two Americans, rand the Journey of 13,400 miles across , the United States, Canada, Alaska, Siberia and Europe in 112 days. Collier's. r0 YOU remember way back when; A tall, d man used to stride to the plate at the old Polo Grounds and the boys In the bleachers would start chant-ing: "Ruck! Buck! Buck! Hit 'tr over the fence Just or luckl" That was Buck Ewlng, one of the e greats among the catchers and possibly as hard a hitter as Babe Ruth. In 1888 the Giants were playing the St Louis Browns for the world championship, had lost the first game and were trailing, 3 to 0, In the ninth Inning of the second one. There were three men on base. Buck came to bat. The bleachers roared their refrain. It was . plea, a demand, a battle call Buck's bat was almost twice aa big as those used nowadays. The ball sailed far over the cen-ter fielder's head, seemed still to be rising when It passed over the parked close to the fence. That blow won the game and broke the Browns, who put up only a pale struggle while the Giants were romping away with the rest of the series. .Around town there still are old-time-who insist manfully that it was the longest and hardest hit ball ever produced in a champion-ship game. When In one season John L. Sullivan stopped 60 opponents In the first round? And when Bob Fltzslmmon8, In a world championship affair against Feter Maher at Langtry, Texas, knocked out the Irish giant In thirty sec-onds of the first round? Recalling Famous Race Between Turf Royalties C New York Poat. WNO Service. Y' Wanna Rassle? Let Jack Curley Tell Y' the Tricks Let Jack Curley, the famed promo-te.- r, tell you tome things you ought to know about the ancient pastime. Mr. Curley lays: EOR every hold there Is a coun-- " ter. Leverage, and not brute strength, wins falls. Accounts of contests, great and small, are preserved for us In poe-try and legend. The great Homer Idolized the game. Wrestling dates back to 4500 B. C. Even among the most ancient nations, wrestling was as well un-derstood, with its various holds and breaks, as It Is at the present day. Again, going back to Homer, wo can quote hi in mentioning the fa-mous encounter .between AJai and Ulysses. Ajax was the Incarnation of all physical power In man ; Ulys-ses, the possessor of every art and wile. The written history of wrestling, however, antedates the legendary tales of Homer and the much sung siege of Troy. In the land of Egypt we find In ancient temples evidence that wrestling was a perfected art many thousand years before Christ. Not far from the bank of the Nile, In the temple tombs of Beni Has-san, wrestlers are depicted In ev-ery hold known today. Three hundred and efghty-sl- x po-sitions are cleverly cut into the sides of Tomb XVII of Benl Has-san, and Tomb XVI contains anoth-er 250 positions. More Than 100 Styles of Modern Wrestling There are today more than a hun-dred known styles of wrestling. Of which Is mostly prevalent In America, Graeeo-Ilo-ma- n style in Europe, Judo and Sou-m- a style In Japun and v In Ireland. In the old Koman amphitheaters the contests were to the death. The gamblers were seldom accused of fixing things. The Immortal Shakespeare was a wrestling fan. Note Orlando's con-test with Duke's wrestler In "As lou Like It." The most famous match In all history was between Henry VIII and Francis I at the meeting of the Cloth of Gold In 1520. At that time the French and English kings were the foremost monarch! in the world. In India, China and Japan wres-tling has been practiced almost un-interruptedly for thousands of years. Regular contests are carried on at Tokio In a ring surrounded with two circles of thirty-si- x bags of earth. A bow and a bowspring formerly were given aa the prize. The time to throw a man Is when he Is moving or exerting his strength In the same direction as that in which you desire to throw him. The force of the aggressor Is then applied along the line of least resistance. Wrestlers come and go In cycles. Just before the turn of the century, Yous.iouf, the Terrible Turk, was the furor. He was an Immense-size- d gladiator. Yet had a hnrd time downing a little fellow named Ernst Roeber. Yonssouf was brought here from the sultan of Turkey to Impress the world with the strength of his regi-ment of nthletes. Antonio PlorrI, a Greek, brought him here, hut was relieved of blm by Billy Brady. Tierri Takes Third Strike in Promoting the Turks When the "King of the Turf-t-hat was Ray 8, the great stallion owned by the Fleischmans of Cin-cinnati met the "Queen of the Turf" that was Yo Tamblen, the fleet little mare owned by Chria Smith of Chicago? There were two races, both of them on the beautiful old St Louis Fair Grounds course. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were bet each time, while eminent sports-me- n orated that the honor of their great cities was at stake. In the first race the Club Mem-bers at a mile and a quarter they galloped down the stretch hell for leather. They came under the wire nose and nose. No man reallly knows who won. The Judges said "Ray S." Possibly they were correct because Monk Overton, the little black man who rode him,-wa- s a magnificent finish-er. The crowd said "Yo Tamblen" while arguments were loud and long, while more hundreds of thou-sands were bet for the Memorial Handicap. This time Kentucky Bill and Brown Dick, the famous negro trainers who loved the little mare, combined their talents. Perhaps they thought they had been Jinxed the first time out. Possibly they thought that Johnny Mooney, the very good Chicago jockey, had been outridden. They decided to match Jockey with Jockey, Jinx with Jinx. They engaged Frankle Jordan. "When you get to the head of the stretch just hurry along borne," was all the Instructions they gave him. Perhaps it was the greater skill of the new rider that did It. More likely the great-hearte- d mare just could not brook another defeat No one really knows now but Thlg time as the horses reached the wire Brown Dick and Kentucky Bill were dancing exultant Jigs, crossing and uncrossing gnarled fin-gers. Out there on the track the little mare was running as she never had run before while, crouched on her withers, Frank Jordan grinned and looked back through crossed eyes at the horse which this time could not keep up. Remember When O'Leary Walked 100 Miles at 78? When Dan O'Leary celebrated his seventy-eight- h birthday by walking 100 miles In 23 hours and 43 min-utes at the Cubs' park in Chicago in 1919? When Ice skating was so popu-lar throughout the land and there had to be some rules for governing competition in the sport? So that was in 1895 the code of rules used at trotting horse meetings was made to apply, with very few changes, to ice skating. When National league umpires were for the first time granted sal-aries? That was In 1SS3, seven years after the league was organ-ized. from an overcrowded LINES John L. Sullivan made his first New York appearance at the la-mented Harry Hill's resort on West Houston street. That was on March 31, 1881, against Steve Taylor. The first fight champion of Ire land was Dan Donnelly, who spe cialized In whipping Englishmen When he beat Tom Oliver mor than $500,000 was bet on tht af fair and the Irish were so elate, that they built bonfires In th. streets of Dublin. After this th celebrated king of England coul do (and did) no less than ma' Dan a knight Undaunted, Pierrl sailed forth for another Turk, and this time came with another giant, Nouralah. Strange as it may seem, Pierrl again put his trust In American managers, and once more Billy Bra-dy signed the Turk under his man-agement. And still another trip for Antonio and again another Turk. This time it was Jal All (pronounced Hall Alali), and this time not Brady but Martin Julian won the affection of the invader, and for the third time Pierrl was without his champion. All these Turks were great wres-tlers. On his home-boun- d trip In 1808 Youssouf was a passenger on the d French liner. La Bour-goyn-e, and lost his life In the dis-aster. A legendary story gained circu-lation that the Turk wore a belt around his body, with all his money In $20 gold pieces. The story is no doubt a fable, because no American manager would have permitted Touasouf to get away with It babout: A Texas Front Yard. HOUSTON, TEX.

DCUING his active life, there was a general Journalistic ten-dency to deprecate Charles Curtis larger achievements and laugh at his little vanities. Now that he's gone, the newspapers, without re-gard to their politics, are printing tributes to the distinguished career and fine citizenship of this man who went from an Indian lodge to the second highest elective office In our gift Since to criticize our leaders Is an almost universal instinct, wouldn't It be fine If we reversed the rule about speaking no 111 of the dead and praised a deserving fellow-creatur- e while he could hear what we said but saved np the scoldings until he'd passed on7 I could elaborate on this text, but must stop to try think np some small gibe at the expense of some prominent man. The Yellow Peril. THEY'VE taken the Japanese war the oldV cedar what not and shaken the mothballs out of it and are waving It In the breeze as a signal to the citizens of Los Angeles to remove the women and children to a place of safety and a warning to the folks In Se-attle to start building street bar-ricades. Thus we have the annual revival of a time-honore- d custom. To be sure, there's a racial dif-ference to be reckoned with. We're a breed of opportunists," the Japa-nese are a breed of fntallsta. The American soldier wants to go home when the mess Is over and see If he can get his Job back from the lad that smuggled Into It while he was at the front; the Japanese craves to rejoin his ancestors Instead of his family. So naturally a fellow who'd prefer to go on living Is at a handicap fighting a gentleman who thinks you're doing him a personal favor by killing him. But no matter how acute the per-il, I decline to retreat to the Ozark mountains until they prove to me that Japanese explosives will ex-plode when desired, or at all. White reiki' Melodies. LEAVING California, I'said: "I'm on the kinds of sing-ing that you hear so much of out .here. No matter. what a Mexican song starts out with, It winds up with something about a dove. And the trouble with Hawaiian singers Is that they're always telling you good-b- y but they never go. Thank goodness, 111 soon be listening to the stuff I was raised on spirituals pouring gloriously forth from vel-vety Afric throats." But I hear now the distressing news that, even here In the deep South, some of the black people are getting so or some-thing they want to sing the white folks' comparatively thin and pith-less hymns Instead of their own rich, glowing melodies. Clasiea of Eternal Spring. PRETTY much all over the seems to be general complaint about the weather. Peo-ple are saying the trouble with this winter Is that there's so much win-ter to It But there's a philosophical way of regarding climatic unpleasant-ness. My friend, Ed Boreln, the western painter.knew an aged chief on the Crow reservation up In the Northwest who, when the first freeze came, went to the agency and bought a pair of green gog-gles. There didn't seem to be any-thing wrong with the old Indian's sight he had an eye like a captive hawk so Boreln asked questions.
