CAGo TO WITNESS GOTCH-

STRANCLE HOLD BARRED
And Straight Catch-as-C atch-Can
Wrestling Rules Will Hold
Much Speculation as to
the Result.

Chicago, April 2-TomOrrow night
in the big amphtheatre at the Chi
eago stock yards known as DeXter's
Pavilion, George Hackenschmidt, the
world renowned GraecO-Roman cham
pion, will contest for the worlds
catch as-catch-can wrestling title with
Frank Gotch the American champion
The bout has attracted attention on
both sides of the Atlantic and should
prove the choicest tid-bit that has
been offered followers of the wrest-
ling game in years.
In view of the fact that conflicting
statements have been made regarding
the conditions under which the men
are to wrestle it may be stated that
Graeco-Roman rules are to govern,
as has been reported, but that the
bout will be straight catch-as-catch-
can style, with the strangle hold
barred. The conditions call for a
twenty-four foot ring, elevated foul
feet. Two judges will officiate be
sides the referee. The purse Offered

will go to the winner and forty pei

Both men are reported to be in the
very best Of condition. Gotch re
Gently put in a month of hard work
at his Iowa farm. and since then has
been in daily training to keep in con
dition. Hackenschmidt is an athlete
who needs little training, being tenn
perate in his habits and always in con,
dition to appear on the mat at an
hours notice.
While Hackenschmidt is a strong
favorite. 1t is doubtful whether he
will find Gotch so easy to pin to the
mat as many think 1t is true that his
victory over Tom Jenkins on the oc-
casion OF his visit to the United
States several years ago, would lead
to the belief that he will be the win
rer in tomorrow nights contest, but
it should be borne in mind that in the
last year or two Gotch has been
steadily improving Hackenschmidt
has kept himself IN good condition
during a corresponding period, but it
Is possible that more or less continu-
Gus engagements in the London music
halls and tours throughout the British
provinces may not have increased his

PROF. WILLARD IS
STILL AT CASINO

Sunday evening at the Casino,
when Professor Willard appeared to
entertain the audience, he called for
subjects with whom to work in his
demonstration of hypnotism. Among
others Harry Hitler went up, and the
professor placed him in the catelyp-
tic state, and in which he was per-
fectly rigid. Then he laid him
across between two chairs. his head
on one and his feet on another. and
had five or six men stand on his thus
outstretched body. The chairs broke
under the weight, and all went to the
floor with a thud. Professor Willard
lost no time bringing his subject to
his senses. and despite the fact that
500 or 900 pounds had fallen on him,
Hitler had no knowledge of his ex-
perience, did not know that anything
had fallen on him and did not have a
bruise. Professor Willard leaves in
a few days for Goldfield, to give some
of his demonstrations.
