.COTCHMAY MEET
HACkENSCnMIOT
IoWAN TELLS FRIENDS HE MIGHT
be INDUCED TO AGAIN
WREsTLE OLD RIVAL.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-There Is q bare
possibility after all that Frank Gotch,
retired wrestling champion OF the
world, may reconsider his intentions
am sign articles to meet Hacken-
schmidt In q finish bout for the worlds
title. Before leaving for his home IN
Iowa Gotch told some friends mot for
publication" that he. might agree to
one more match II there was enough
money in sight, but beforeS doing SO
the Iowa farmer said Hack would have
to beat all the good men in this coun-
try, including the foreigners.
Before Wednesdays match between
Hackenschmidt and Westergaard
Gotch was Arm in his statements
about having retired, but the lure of
the mat seems to have called MIN
when he saw the man, the defeat OF
whom gave him the worlds title, IN &C
ton against grappler from his own
state. The retired champion has admir-
alton for Hacks great strength. but 1t
is the opinion of the Humboldt citizen
that the Russian Lion does not know
great deal about the finer points OF
the game.
Nothing but praise was heard IN
sporting circles yesterday about the
great exhibition OF wrestling put up
by Hackenschmidt and Westergaard.
Many critics contended, however, that
Hack cannot throw wrestler who is
his equal in strength and weight, be-
cause he does not know enough about
the finer points Of the game. The great
exhibition of gameness and nerve
which Westergaard displayed and his
Willingness to mix matters at all
times. won for the 1owan a warm re-
gard here.
II arrangements can be made, the
next appearance Of Hack in Chicago
will be with Henry Ordeman. the Min
neapolis grappler. Before Manager
Curley to Hack to Pittsburg to meet
Roller last night he said he would be
willing to match Hack with the Gopher
II a satisfactory date can be selected,
and officials of the Empire A. G, al
ready are making efforts to match
these grapplers.
