HACK A DECIDED FAYORIIE
Russian Lion Picked to Defeat the
American Wrestling Champion.
Foremost GraPpIers VIII Meet on
Mat at Chicago Friday Night to
Struggle for Worlds Title.

1t has TO be something unusually big
to arouse wrestling interests in this coun-
try outside of the particular section in
which the contest is decided
Fixed matches and frame-ups without
number dts the easiest sport in the
world 10 fake without the spectators get
ting "next'D have caused tremendous
shrinkage in the popularity Of the pro-
fessional branch of the mat game
intercollegiate and amateur contests
which are known to be on the level still
have their following. hut the public is
inclined 10 fight shy oi the professional
grapplers with the result that thoroughly
honest performers have had to suffer with
the guilty.
In England and several other countries
the pros are Stin able to draw great
crowds and an ordinary match stirs up
almost as much interest as a heavy
weight championship pugilistic event in
the United States but here. as previously
stated. it must be an encounter Of IN
usual Importance TO attract and hold the
attention of the lovers Of clean sport.
Such Is the nature Of a contest on the
bills for this week. and II is the first mat
event in a long time 20 awaken American
interests
1t Is a meeting for the heavy weight
championship OF the world at the Crap
pling game, bringing together Fyank
Gotch. the American champion. and
George Hackenschmidt. the Russian
7
holder
The contest will be decided in Chicago
next Friday night. and is expected 10
prove one of the greatest struggles ever
seen in this country.
The reputation Of Hackenschmidt.
stories of his marvellous strength and
prowess, and the general belief that he
is above taking and mat jobbery, have
had more to dc than anything else per-
haps. with the unusual interest mani
tested throughout America in the coming
contest.
For. strangely enough, there does not
appear to be much doubt as to the re
suit Of the match
Gotch is undoubtedly foremost among
American wrestlers. but It is now gen
orally conceded that Hackenschmidt is in
class Of his own, and occupies about
the same position in the graphing sport
as does Jeffries among the fighters. His
strength is amazing. and there is not
trick in wrestling that he doesn't know.
GOtch may keep him busy for a time,
but when We remember what the Russian
did 10 Tom jenkins. il Is hard 10 figure
out how the American can escape defeat.
Reports from Baltimore stated that
Hackenschmidt appeared stale In his ex-
hibitions there, and would not be in good
form for his meeting with Gotch. but
there was no occasion for the lion to
display his real class in Oystertown, and
he may have been working under
pull"
At any rate. it IS not likely that he is
SO badly off as to be in danger OF defeat
this week. He looks too much better
than Gotch for that

AMERICAN CREW UNLIKELY.
RumOr that Best of College Men
VIII Row Lacks Foundation.

New Haven. March 2s.-The suggestion
which has come 10 the attention Of col
lege men that an American varsity eight
cared crew be sent 10 England this sum
mer can be nothing more than a visionary
project, in the opinion OF a Yale rowing
authority. who yesterday said that in
quiries in a serious vein had been made
OF him regarding the matter. A repre-
sentative college crew would be made I'D
OF the best men out Of the varsity crews
Of several colleges.
These crews, generally speaking. row a
different stroke. either in principle or in
execution Of the same stroke Il would
be next TO impossible to weld the men
into crew using uniform stroke. In
the first place, II would be hard 10 get a
coach, and. secondly, as an example, a
Cornell man would have 10 forget what
Courtney had taught him. and a Yale
man would have to drop the Kennedy
style. and the same would be true of
oarsmen who have been developed under
other coaches. The Yale authority said,
however. that the idea OF an aII-A.nerican
crew was a good one.

Richmond Family Flees just Before
Building COIlaPses.

Richmond, Va. March 2s.-John ".
Adams his wife and ten-year-old daugh-
ter barely escaped with their lives from
an early morning fire which totally de-
stroyed their dwelling and contents with

joining building.
When Adams awoke the building was
ablaze fire being between him and
every exit. He fought his way through
dense smoke 10 an upstairs room: in which
his daughter was sleeping. and succeeded
in bringing her out safely in his arms.
Mrs. Adams made her way from the
building while her husband was effecting
the rescue Of their little girl. The
building collapsed three minutes after

street All Of their household furniture
was destroyed by the fire. The loss will
approximate $4,000.

LAST MUSTACHE GONE.
PiraticnI AdOrnment Removed from
Face of Philadelphia National.

Philadelphia, March 2-The last soup
strainer has passed from big league com
pany.
the space between the classic nose and
Cupid mouth of John Titus, composed the
last survivor.
Now that has passed away. for. de-
string to be able to have to coach with
out having to hurl HIS words through a
tangle Of red weeds, John imbibed a gal
Ion of laughing gas and permitted a Sa-
vannah barber to lay a sacrilegious blade
on the last OF the soup strainers.

ent thus passed for all time
Philadelphia had for many years the
companion-piece to the Titus mustache
Monte Cross held on 10 his until 1904. but
when II began TO take on a gray tinge
at the ends, Monte thought it about time
10 change his disguise. Jake Beckle$
clung TO his old fashion for a long time.
but even the German was forced 10 bow
TO modern customs.
Once no big Lacquer was complete with
out upper lip adornment His mustache
was only second in Importance to his bat
or glove. Photographs Uf the old timers.
Anson. Kelly, Gore, Brouthers, ali show
a fine piratical adornment.
Some time in the early sos the fashion
changed. Some baseball modiste Of that
period decided that the mustache was
no longer de rigueur The edict was
promptly obeyed. and enough hair was
shorn from the faces Of ball tossers to
stuff a mattress.
TO the younger generation of fans the
Titus mustache was a survival Of a re-
mote period-a curiosity Now even that
Is gone.

and 70 high runs per game
In the tenth inning of Friday nights
contest, when Demarest scored 202, his
stroke was excellent and his Judgment on
speed nearly perfect. Most of his counts
were made by close nursing. On his 203d
shot he attempted TO play a follow driv-
ing the object ball across the table, but
he was kissed of. He made a zero on the
next shot and ran out his total with 54

himself as being well satisfied with the
way the Detroit club has treated him. and
