Special Dispatch to The star.
CHICAGO. August 22.-wfli Hacken-
schmidt's strength and endurance be too
much for the acknowledged cleverness OF
Frank Gotch In their coming bout At
Comiskey Park Labor day? This ques-
ton seems to be the all-important one
concerning the big wrestling match.
Gotch. the worlds champion. is the clev-
crest man In the mat game today. He
knows innumerable tricks and invents
new ones daily. He is the originator of
the deadly toe hold. which made Hack
enschmidt cry Enough in their last
battle.
Reports from Humboldt, where Gotch
is training. are to the effect that the
Iowan excels in tricks Of all kinds and
that he has mastered a new one which
will pry Hackenschmidt loose from the
floor. Gotch Is the most optimistic man
in the world as to the outcome OF the
battle. He contends he will be so fast
that the Russian will not be able TO get
hold on him and that he will make
the lion go on the defensive from the
start. 0otch has studied out several Of
fensive moves, and asserts he will win
easily and In much faster time than IL
took the last time the two met
Hackenschmidt Is Confident.

he weighs 227 pounds. and says he is

mendous amount Of work he does every
day to harden his muscles. He is rely
ing upon his strength and really marvel
GUS endurance to carry him through tho
mill. Hackenschmidt acknowledges that
Gotch is the cleverest man In the game
but he puts forward the assertion that
he will be able to undermine the strength
of the champion with his far greater
strength and In tho end will be returned
the winner.
All athletic experts who have seen
Hackenschmidt since he landed in
Chicago agree that he is In perfect
condition. He has taken off all his
superfiuous fat in his workouts In
right now is q mass Of bone and
