% RUSSIAN LION" SAILS
Some Points of Com pnison 7c7th HIS
RirdI on the Nat.

Georges Hackenschnlidt the champion wrestler
of the world sailed from Liverpool yesterday on
the steamship Lusitania and is expected to arrive
in New York the end of this week to prepare for
his match with Frank Gotch in Chicago on April B.
1t is inevitable that comparisons of the two men
and of their methods viii be evoked by the match
between Gotch and Rogers. which was decided at
the Amsterdam Opera House on Friday evening.
The fact that Rogers's last bout prior to this en-
gagement with Hackenschmidt. when he made
much less of a showing, compels attention to the
main points of difference between the American
champion and the holder of the worlds title
Georges Tiackenschmidt, although born in Russia
and known the Russian Lion has not a drop
of Russian blood in his veins AS may be guessed
from his name. his father is German. His
mother. who is a Swede has relatives VINO have at
taiEed more less prominence locally as wresters
and all round athletes and gymnasts- Born at
Riga 1877, the boy received excellent educa-
ton, and seventeen years of age preparing
himself in St. Petersburg for the career of civil
engineer when his youthful feats of strength began
TO attract attention He was asked to visit Dr.
Krajowsky. a physician interested in physical
culture and was advised to take up wrestling
profession.
This advice was not followed Immediately on ac-
count of interference with studies, but about four
years later Hackenschmidt made his professional
debut. The wisdom of this course is apparent to-
day Modest and unassuming. the champion is a
well read and cultivated man, who speaks Russian,
French. German and English with almost equal
fuency- He lived in Paris for about two years
before going to England, which has been his home
for several years.
The Russian Lion is feet 10 inches in height
/ and weighs 30 pounds His neck is phenomenally
large, being % inches. His normal chest measure
is As inches and his chest expanded - inches.
Other figures show Bceps, 1872 inches. forearm IA
| inches, thigh 2711 inches and calf 171a inches.
Gotch has had the educational advantages
enjoyed by his rival, he born on a farm
/ and when not engaged the is himself a
1 farmer, with a homestead just outside Humboldt
Iowa He is taller than Hackenschmdt being well
over six feet, but this is a doubtful advantage in
wrestling. He will give away from fifteen
pounds in weight and physically Will be inferior TO
/ Hackenschmdt in all points important compari-
son. 1t is recognized however that in quickness
and ring generalship he is least the equal of the
| foreigner.
