Chicago. Sept. 5.-But one conclusion
was drawn to-day by the $500 persons
who witnessed the westllng fiasco. when
Frank Go;ch. worlds champion heavy
weight wrestler. made George Hacken-
schmidt. the Russian Lion" quilt cold.
The conclusion IL that. having received
his money In advance and having
nothing In the world TO gain by 'r9ln'ug
or struggling hard. Hack quit,
Gotch. In condition and trained as hard
as ever before In his life, was ready to
give the spectators a fight for their

tious. and when he saw the hog Fat
Hack come into the ring. threw him the
noment he could. to end the disgusting
spectacle. 1t Ia hardly probable lIacken-

About the only really interesting thing
about the match vas that the moving
pictures OF the bout, which ended Mt 4
