A Man of Modesty.

Some younger wresGers might take
lessons I'm modesty from Hacken-
schmidt even if they were loath TO
admit that he could teach them any
thing more.
He is the very autithesis OF the
blatant run OF world champions who
are running hither and thither pro-
claiming their proves. The only tine
he appeared at all reticenJ was when
asked about his coming match with
GOtch.
From all accounts he is great hand
at the game. l won't make any predic-
tons beyond that I win do my best"

is not a drop Of Russian blood in his
