what he can do, and expects him to live up to his reputation. When Jack Demp- sey was matched against Bob Fitzsim-
 mons everybody who thought that he
 knew anything about the game con-
 cluded that Dempsey had an ironclad
 cinch on the result. and figured that the
 Cornishman was in for severe thrash-
 ing. But Dempsey was whipped just
 the same, and by man who 1t was
 thought had not the slightest chance of
 victory. So great a hold had John L.
 Sullivan upon the affections of the pub-
 lie that when he was matched against
 Jim Corbett for the heavyweight title -ins1Ss2 tho large majorityt60n0Spbrts
 refused to look upon the young bank
 clerk from California in any other light
 than as loser. The same thing was il-
 frustrated in the case of Jim Corbett
 against Bob Fitzsimmons at Carson
 City, in 1897. It was admitted that Fitz
 was great fighter and all that, but to
 beat man of Oorbett's known clever. ness and reputation was thought to be impossible, especially by men like Fitz. who had the worst of the bargain
 in point of weight. But again the dark
 horse" triumphed. After that mill the
 Cornishman was regarded as invincible
 by every one who thought he knew how to size up real mighty pugilist. But his turn came when he tackled Jim Jef. ries, at Coney Island, in 1899. Dark
 horses have upset calculations among the little men, too. After Terry Mccoy.

HACKS SUCCESSFUL TRIP.

The success that Is attending the dSp of George Hackenschmidt on the
 road Is no surprise to the large army
 of wrestling fans. Hackenschmidt
 threw Jim Parr three times in less than
 eight minutes the other night at Buff
 falO at the latters own style, although
 Jenkins and Gotch had all they could
 do to down the Englishman twice in
 one hour. Gotch still contends that he
 has been badly treated by the Russian.
 However, when the facts are weighed
 no one can blame Hackensthmidt for refusing to meet Gotch just get. In the first place Hackenschmidt has booked all of his time in this country up to the day he is slated to sail for the other side. To ask him to begin training now for Gotch would be un- fair, as he has several other matches to fulfill which he cannot cancel. Hack enschmidt might have entertained meeting with Gotch in Madison Square Garden before he left for England had the receipts of his recent bout with Jenkins come up to expectations. Hackenschmidt figured on making at least 5000 out of the bout, but when the receipts were counted up Hacken- schmidt found that all that was con- ino to him was little over S2DOO. ] Naturally this was disappointing. Hackenschmidt expects to return to America again, possibly next fall. Then. if everything is satisfactory, he will sign articles to wrestle Gotch or any other man who will meet him. Gotch says that he is not going to be 5oshed about the matter and that If Hackenschmidt does not make a match here he will follow the Russian abroad and insist upon doing business.

The veteran tnkes daily exercise and wrestles ire Qoently, and is said to be in fair shape.
