64 HOT DOGS DOWN THE HATCH

Joey Chestnut, right, was a happy guy yesterday after he won Nathan's Fourth of July hot-dog-eating contest on New York's Coney Island. He and Takeru Kobayashi tied at 59 frankfurters in 10 minutes, before they had to eat five more dogs in a tiebreaker. Chestnut, 24, won $10,000 and the coveted mustard-yellow belt.
