4B – Daily News – Monday, July 5, 2010 Ex-champ crashes NYC eating contest NEW YORK (AP) — A Japanese eating champion who sat out this year’s Coney Island Fourth of July hot dog contest apparently couldn’t resist the temptation to hotdog afterward. Competitive eater Joey ‘‘Jaws’’ Chestnut gobbled his way to a fourth consecutive championship Sunday. But he was suddenly upstaged by the surprise appearance of his biggest rival — six-time champion Takeru Kobayashi, who did not compete but crashed the stage after Chestnut’s win and wres- tled with police. ‘‘Let him eat! Let him eat!’’ the crowd chanted as police handcuffed the world’s No. 3 professional eater, dubbed ‘‘The Tsunami.’’ The 32-year-old Kobayashi did not eat this year because he refused to sign a contract with Major League Eating — the fast food equivalent of the NFL. On his Japanese-language blog, he said he wanted to be free to compete in contests sanc- tioned by other groups. But a few days ago, he told Japan’s Kyodo News: ‘‘I real- ly want to compete in the event.’’ Kobayashi, wearing a black T-shirt that said ‘‘Free Kobi,’’ mingled with the crowd watching the contest, standing inside a police-barricaded pen just under the stage. When the eating ended, he slipped up the stage stairs. Then, several security officers appeared and tried to usher him off. He grabbed a metal police barricade with both hands, holding on tightly as the officers pulled at him. Finally, they dragged him down the stairs, with Kobayashi resisting vehe- mently. He was under arrest Sunday afternoon, charged with resist- ing arrest, trespass and obstructing governmental administra- tion ‘‘There’s a contract dispute, so they weren’t giving him his freedom,’’ said Kobayashi’s interpreter, Maggie James. Minutes earlier, Chestnut downed 54 hot dogs in 10 min- utes to win the annual Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest, televised live on ESPN. The runner-up was Tim ‘‘Eater X’’ Janus, with a total of 45. Patrick ‘‘Deep Dish’’ Bertoletti came in third with 37 dogs. Chestnut was disappointed with his performance, despite claiming the bejeweled, mustard-yellow belt plus a $20,000 purse. The 26-year-old from San Jose, Calif., was aiming for a record 70 dogs in 10 minutes, beating his own record of 68 last year. ‘‘I was dehydrated going in,’’ he told The Associated Press, explaining that he did not drink enough liquids the day before because he was striving for an emptier stomach. After witnessing the drama involving Kobayashi, Chestnut said, ‘‘I feel bad for him.’’ Still, the Fourth on Coney Island paid tribute to two of America’s biggest loves: hot dogs and competition. The two pastimes merged by the Brooklyn boardwalk, with a crowd of thousands squeezed elbow-to-elbow on a sweltering afternoon, with temperatures around 90 degrees. Eight-year-old Stephen Pearce found his own way of keep- ing cool — with ice cubes melting atop his head. ‘‘It feels good.’’ He said something else was ‘‘cool’’ as he watched Chest- nut: ‘‘I could never eat that many hot dogs! It’s gross,’’ said the boy from Chappaqua, N.Y. Americans enjoy 150 million hot dogs each July 4 — ‘‘enough to stretch from D.C. to L.A. more than five times,’’ said Janet ‘‘Queen of Wien’’ Riley, president of the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council. Last year, Chestnut ate 68 dogs against Kobayashi’s 64. That’s about as many as the average American eats in a year — 60, according to the council. Coney Island is said to be the birthplace of fast food. The first hot dog was sold here around 1870 by German butcher Charles Feltman. His competitive, Polish-born employee, Nathan Handwerker, opened his own business in 1916 — Nathan’s Famous, still the backdrop to the contest started here that year. According to local lore, immigrants arguing about who was most patriotic settled their dispute by testing who could eat more franks. Irishman Jim Mullen won with 13. After watching the stomach-churning feast, some of the tens of thousands of spectators could have used Pepto-Bismol — a new 2010 sponsor — before they joined the demolition-derby crowd of sticky bodies bumping their way through Surf Avenue. The way Shea sees it, a hot dog-eating contest and Ameri- ca’s biggest city were made for each other: ‘‘New York is a jewel built on the dream of greatness, and that same dream is driving every competitive eater.’’ And it wasn’t over till the hot-dog ‘‘Tsunami’’ hit Coney Island — just not quite the way anyone expected. Wyoming threatens to sell prime Grand Teton land MOOSE, Wyo. (AP) — For Sale: Two square miles of Grand Teton National Park. Majestic views of the Teton Range. Prime location for luxury resort, home development. Pristine habitat for moose, elk, wolves, grizzlies. Price: $125 million. Call: Gov. Dave Freudenthal. Wyoming is trying to force the Interior Department to trade land, minerals or mineral royalties for 1,366 acres it owns within the majestic park. If the foot-dragging feds don’t agree to a deal — soon — Freudenthal threatens to put a For Sale sign on the prop- erty. Wyoming has owned the land since statehood in 1890, when the federal government set aside land in new Western states to be mined, logged or leased to raise money for public education. Wyoming kept its so-called ‘‘school sections’’ after Grand Teton National Park was established in 1950. The state has tried for a decade to negotiate some kind of trade. Saying that his patience is running out, Freudenthal, a Democrat, sent an ultimatum recently to park Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott. ‘‘I think he wants to pound the (for sale) sign in himself,’’ said Ed Grant, director of the Office of State Lands and Investments. Wyoming gets just $3,000 a year from the land by leasing it for cattle grazing. Sold with the proceeds invested at 3 percent, the land easily could bring in $3.75 million a year. The state constitution requires state officials to manage state lands for maximum profit. Their oaths of office require them to act. ‘‘If it’s to recreate on, or if it’s a new ski lodge, highest and best use,’’ said Susan Child, deputy director of the state lands office. ‘‘It’s obviously not grazing.’’ Even in pro-development Wyoming, however, selling off land in a national park isn’t a popular idea. Some are protesting already. But Freudenthal, who has a long history of run-ins with the Interior Department over endangered species and snowmobiles in Yellowstone National Park, isn’t stepping on any toes he hasn’t smashed already. What’s more, he’s wrapping up his second term and will leave office next year. He’s all but enshrined as one of the most popular governors in Wyoming history.
