The second game soon deyel- oped into a burlesque in which the league leaders were humiliated. Breitenstein started pitching and went through four innings, but was batted hard and errors and dumb playing behind him contributed to the large score run up by the visitors. Breitenstein was relieved after the fourth by Sprinkle, who was also easy for the visitors. Bagby pitched a good game. Score:

What They Say

HEY Frank Gotoh: kfveHonestly didn't think it would be so ey HRckenschmidt gave me such a eperate struggle in our first meeting Tt I was prepared and expected to go through a hard, drawn out battle, The Hry minute we locked heads I felt con- 2 Hdent that I would win but really did not think victory would come so quickly. 'Hackenschmidt did not display the nerve and strength he did in our first contest. He wasn't aggressive. He ap- peared to be afraid. When I saw that Hackenschmidt did . not try to break down my defense or squirm out of holds, I became determined to end it as quickly as possible.
 'I am sorry he laid his miserable show ing to an injured knee, for I wanted to make the victory a clean one. When I defeated him here three years ago 1t was charged that I won unfairly. Today I hoped Hackenschmidt would be at his best, for I wanted to prove that I was his master

Hack Broken Hearted


 Hackenschmidt was broken hearted over the result of the bout.
 In his dressing room for half an hour he sat in his wrestling garb, crying and refusing the preferred attentions and cheering words of his trainers.
 Go away he said to all of them. Leave me alone"
 Then his broad chest would heave and the tears would flow unrestrained from his eyes.
 Gotch only smiled after the match was dver He said the result was exactly as he thought it would be.
 The story of the actual wrestling that was done Is sood told. Time was called at 3:15 o'clock The contestants immediate ly locked heads and began feeling each other out. For five minutes they tugged at each others necks wrists and arms, but neither obtained dangerous hold.
 The Two Falls
 It. was Gotch who first turned attention to the legs. He made severe fake passes at Hackenschmidts knees before he final ly obtained a knee hold at the end of S1a minutes. Once the Iowaians massive hands were fastened on Haceknschmidts left leg the Russian went down. He struggled out of that and a subsequent hold of the same kind and then became the aggressor. At ten minutes Hacken- schmidt secured a body hold and put Gotch to the mat, but he was down only an instant.
 After IA minutes of wrestling Gotch started Hackenschmidt downward with knee hold, faked a crotch and then quick = rked the Russian into a half Nelson. - struck the mat together head to Then Gotch pivotcd on bis oppo- nent's stomach, clamped on a reverse body hold and the first fall was over.
 The first five minutes of the second fall was @ replica of that period in the first, but Gotch suddenly reached down with his right hand, grasped Hackenschmidts left ankle and unbalanced the ''lion." While Hackenschm.dt was trying to re- gain his equilibrium Gotch struck tne 'lion's' injured leg with his right knee and the Russian crumbled into a heap upon the canvas. Instantly Gotch was on him, his powerful right hand firmly lock- ed upon the undermans left toe. Hack enschmidt screamed a couple of times rolled over on his shoulders and gave up.

Russians Courage Oozes

In the minds of the vast crowd that saw the match there was no doubt as to which was the better wrestler. Gotch outponted, outgeneralled and outgamed his opponent The Iowain appeared faster than ever. His condition was perfect. He entered the ring filled with confidence and never once did he lose his nonchal- ance. At every stage of the bout he smiled as though he never had the slight est doubt as to the outcome.
 On the other hand Hackenschmidt seemed ill at ease. During the first fall he went about his work with his face set and anything but the glint of confidence in his eyes. After Gotch had gained the first fall what courage the Russian had appeared to have left him. t
 With shoulders stopped and eyes down. cast, he sat in his corner awaiting the starting signal.
 Upon a box in the center of the grand stand sat two women who did more, err haps, to cheer Gotch on to victory than all the other persons in the assembagc. They were his old mother and his young bride. Frequently, while in the thickesu of the fray Gotch found time to look to- ward the two women and smile. At the be- ginning of the 10 minutes intermission be- tween falls he did not got at once to his dressing room. but stood for a moment in his corner smiling and waving at the two

required only minutes and 32 seconds, which Hackenschmidt friends assert proved his knee was in bad condition.
 Referee Smith is authority for the state ment that when Gotch secured the terri ble toe lock which won the match, Hack enschmidt cried out: Don't hurt my toe," and a second later, Don't break my leg," and fell with his shoulders to the mat, frothing at the mouth.
 His fall resulted from a reverse body hold after the men had struggled for 14:1S 1-5 That toe hold for which Gotch is famous was responsible for the second fall. He camped it upon the left foot os Hackenschmidt after the second fall had gone 5:32 1-5. Scarcely had be ob- tained the grip when Hackenschmidt ac- l1nowledged defeat.
 The Easiest Championship
 Hackenschmidts own statement that it was the easiest worlds champion ship ever won tells the story of the bout. Gotch never was in serious diff ficulty. Neither was he forced to ex- tend himself to win. The Iowaian se- cured in all perhaps half dozen dan gerous holds on his antagonist. Hack enschmidt obtained body hold on Gotch that brought him to the mat. The champion was on the canvass for but a few seconds. Then he was only
 
 fore the "1ion" realized that his op- ponent was in a dangerous predica- ment Gotch had wriggled out of the hold and was bounding across the ring to safety.
 For his defeat Hackenschmidt offers but the one excuse, that his left knee, which was injured in training two weeks ago, weakened under the pres sure of the iron hands of Gotch and 1t was useless to continue at the risk of being permanently injured. Hack enschmidt went into the ring with the member in a bandage.
 Regardless of whether there be any merit to his claim that his knee was in bad shape, it cannot be denied that the challenger was in no, state mem tally to enter into a gruelling contest. Hackenschmidt was unnerved before he entered the arena
 Whether 1t was from worry over his injured knee or his fretting over the match cannot be said. bike Jeffries, how ever, the Russian spent sleepless night before the battle. His trainers tried every means 10 make him at ease. They had him in a room with Johann Koch, a German. One of Kochs chief duties was to sing songs of the. fatherland to the but Hackenschmidt would not be calmed. After trying vainly for several hours to go to sleep he arose and pleaded with his trainers to give him drugs that would make him rest They refused to do this and Hackenschmidt retired to fret the night away
