WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP.

CHICAGO. April 3.-Thc largest crowd
ever attracted by similar event in
Chicago is expected TO gather tonight at
Dexter Pavilion to witness the match be-
tween George Hackenschmidt. the Rus
sian Lion champion wrestler of the
world. and Frank Gotch of Iowa. the
champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler of
America The match will he for the
worlds title The best two in three falls
will decide the struggle and the only hold
barred will he the deadly strange.
Cote. was regarded today by bettors
and critics as having about, an even
chance 10 separate Hackenschmldt from
his title and il was argued that II Hack
enschmfdt wins he must win quickly II
he does not get the first fall inside Of
thirty minutes il was commended Gotch s
power of endurance is likely to win the
match for him. The Russian has seldom
beer asked to go the route over long
distance, while Gotch is used to the en-
durance gait.
Gotch's Chief Danger.
Gotch's chief danger it was said. lies
in the famous head hold of the foreigner.
This hold Hackenschmidt claims is equal
to or even better than the painful toes hold
upon which Gotch will rely for the VIC
tory. 1t is a n lock with fingers clinched
over the top of the head. and with a man
as powerful as Hackenschn1idt it is said
to be even more effective than the famous
strangle-hold barred on account Of it's in
furious effects. Hackenschmidt is said to
have practiced this new hold together
with a defensive on the toe hold. Gotch's
favorite. grip. Both men, have been in
training at local clubs for the past ten
days and Will enter the ring in excellent
condition.
The weights. and measurements of the
contestants seemingly gave Hacken-
schmidt a trif1e advantage. The Russian
outweigllts his opponent by twelve pounds
and has an advantage of eight inches in
chest measurement, and in the biceps Of
four and Il quarter inches. The men are
almost equally matched in the matter of
reach. Hackenschmidt' 7412 inches to
Gotch'S. ~.
The American champion in fact excels
only in height. He stands = feet liz
inches while Hackenschmidt measures }
feet inches. Both men are thirty years
of age.
For $4,000 Purse.
The purse for the match is said to be
$1,000. Besides there are said to be
additions to this amount which will
bring the total up TO about $4,000.
which ii was said would be divided. $1,000
to the winner and $1,000 to the loser.
Edward w Smith. local newspaper
man, will referee the match having been
chosen yesterday and accepted by all
parties concerned. Special arrangements
for conveying the followers of the sport
from downtown clubs and railroad sta
lions were completed today.
The preliminaries for the big match will
include ..Americus'' of Baltimore against
