Nearing Home Lion squeaIs.

When the first reports were sent out
that Hackenschmidt had quit In MS
match with Gotch. it came as a big
SUNRISE all oYer America. That
champion of the world would quit un-
der fire was never expected. and Hack
enschmidt was condemned on all sides
The next day the Russian Lion came
out with a manly statement and gave
Gotch full credit for his victory. Hack
declared he had been beaten fairly, ana
nv a better man, and it would have
been useless for him to continue the
struggle. Such a statement made Hack
friends. and had he been content to
leave for England with this, ne would
have been remembered as man VINO
had overestimated his own ability, un-
derestimated his opponents. sot good
y,5binning and acknowledged it. Ameri-
can sportsmen would have admired him
for il. and the fact that he quit under
fire would soon have been forgotten.
Instead. however, as soon rs the now
thoroughly tanned lion arrived in New
York and secured his ticket for home.

In the first place. l underestimate
Gotch's power, and thought it unneces-
sary to do much training. For two
weeks after my arrival from England

of the Chicago Athletic club, where

would not come on, and started his
tricks.
Il saw that his body was oiled, and
protested but the referee paid no heed
to me. The people at the ringside were
all prejudiced against me and unfair.

called out Unfair but he continued,
and the referee did not stop him.

Nelson Makes Good Move.

Battling Nelson did exactly the right
thing for the Champion of Hegewisch
when he demanded that the proposed
fight between himself and Joe Cans go
over the forty-five round route. The
dispatches stated these men were to
meet for twenty rounds, but later it
was announced that Nelson had
changed his mind and demanded a fight
over the longer route. The Goldfield
fight proved conclusively that Nelson
can not Put Cans away in twenty

is now on the coast. Mcdonald just
cot through whipping a fellow who the
natives at Hanford, CAL thought
world-beater. Jimmy says he put him
away i'm the second round ana sur

named Murray at Bakersfieid- Jimmy
saws the fighting game is on the bum

He also says he never saw so many
champions in his life as they nave out
there Every other man claims the
championship of somewhere, so 1t
makes it hard for scrapper from no
where but Salt Lake. Jimmy says he
expects to be back in Zion as soon az
he makes one good cleanup, which he
predicts will be in his next fight.

rounds then. and Cans must have gone
back considerably if Nelson can 90 it
now. In a twenty-rOund argument the
odds would all be in favor of Cans. The
dnnge can easily stall for this distance
and at the same time so completely out
box Nelson that a referee would have
10 give the Baltimore boy the decision.
Bat owes it to himself as we'll as his
friends to sign up with his best chances
to win and certainly Cans cannot OBJ
ject to going the limit with Nelson in
another battle, as this was the condi-
ton of the last fight, and the condition
under which Cans won. The fight,
however, is only in the preliminary
stage. and it will be well not to bank
too much on this pair meeting until
beth men have signed articles and
posted their fOTfeits.
