the American champion. The match
began at 1928 Friday evening. The
finish came with sensational sudden

The men had been standing up
against each other for more than an
hour and a half. Hachenschmidt after
one hour asked Referee Smith to de-
clare the bout a draw. This was re-
fused. The men renewed hostilities in
the middle Of the ring. Again an appeal
was made by Hack for a draw, as it
did not seem as if either would ever
hit the floor. On and on they tugged
All at once Gotch made a dive toward
