In addition Gotch gets 80 per cent

, Neither Gotch nor Hack ever has

the hest man will win.
That the public accepted this guaran-

matched strength with strength and
beat Hack at his own game. II neces-

By FRANK GOTCH.

shall defend my title against
Hackenschmidt just as / did
three years ago. The expert
ence of that last match has
helped me In my preparing for
this affair, and l do not expect
to lose. l have worked faith
fully for almost three months
and right now can truthfully,
say l am in the best condition
of my life. l do not expect
the match to last long, and
think l can throw Hacken-
schmidt in short order. l have
planned an attack which will
be a revelation to the Russian
and one which think will beat
him quickly. If l lose l will
have no kick coming and will
acknowledge Hackenschmidt as
the better man. =.

usage in that city:
THE rules of the Board of Educa
ton require the reading of the Bible
in all schools of the city. At the
present time there is bill before the
lie gislature of Pennsylvania, which
will require the Bible to be read in
all the Public Schools of the State.
This bill passed one House with little
or no opposition. and present indica-
tions are that it will become law.
As far as l know the Bible is already
being read in practically all the
schools of the State at the present
time.
about year ago there was, how
ever, a case in suburb of Philadel-
phia, in which majority of the
School Board ruled out the reading of
the Bible. This caused so much ex-
element that it finally reached the
courts. and the salaries of the teach.

both factions of the Board, were held
