CHICAGO. Aug. 2s.-tIack declares that the hnk in his back, which has been bothering him since the first day he got into Chicago. has entirely disappeared and that he is feeling fine. His cold, contracted by a plunge in the lake on the first day, has been cured, and now the big Russian as- serts he will get back to work again. He proposes to do some strenuous training and probably will work on the mat with some of his wrestling partners.
 The Lion did his usual long walk Yesterday and also played a few games of handball He says his ap- petite, which had been away oH nor nal for the last few days, has re- turned and that he eats a great deal. He reiterated several statements, al ready published, to the effect that he was in the best condition of his life and that his one ambition in this life is to throw Frank GOtch Speaking of the training he went through dur ing his stay in England. he said:
 'Dr. Roller and I wrestied almost every day for three months at Shore army and when we took the boat for America l felt had accomplished mere work than any wrestler ever dia before for one bout. Three years ago I was a Greaco-Roman wrestler and when I made my first journey to America l was practically a novice at the catch-as-catch-can game. l was forced to learn the different holds over, and of course did not make the impression then which l ex. peet to make this time. I have spent most of. my time since then learning how to block and place a hold and feel sure l know almost as much about the game as Gotch.7
 It is said that Hackenschmidt has ! been offered a contract to tour the world if he wins from Goteh. Frazer and Lederer are said to be the firm of theatrical promoters xho have made the offer.

Defeat Bankers in Poorly Play ed Game Sunday By Score
 of i3 to Il

By defeating the Bankers Sunday by the score of 13 to n, Callahan's Colts of the City Baseball league nailed themselves to the 1000 per cent mast and captured the pennant offered by the Bisbee Daily Review for the team having the highest per centage in the league at the end of the season.
 The pennant, which has been on ex- hibition in the window of the Bisbee Drug company on Main street, will be returned to the factory and the fol lowing inscription will be placed on it: "Callahans Colts, Champions of the Warren District League. 1911. Since early in the season there has been no question as to who the win ners Of the pennant would be and the only question of interest has been whether or not the Colts would win a 1.00O per cent standing. By winning Sundays game from the Bankers they cinched their standing. which has never been changed since the first game they played.
 The game Sunday was more or less of a farce, as 1t indicated by the score. Champion was in the box for the Colts and was later supplemented by Lyons. For the Bankers, Brown, their third baseman, was in the box. and Gill caught. Kelly backstopped for the Colts >1S

 Instead of an easing up. it is to be an adding to- Manager Klank says that what has been going on before the public was nothing compared to the gruelling that Is to begin now and continue up to two days before the meeting with Hackenschmidt.
 The champion is to be mauled about with no show of mercy by his trainers, the time of wrestling increasing daily till it reaches the long drawn out period of about two hours. Endur- ance, staying powers and a body to take abuse and rough tactics of the worst kind are some of the desired ends which will be constantly striyen for.
 The idea is to send Goteh through such a hurricane of attacks that he will be impregnable against whatever

 The great crowds which were here for the last day of open practice is still one of the main topics. of dis c1ssion. There were estimated to be an easy 2500, a regular holiday jam.

HUSSEN-VARNEY BOUT
 ID HELP DOPESTERS
Chances of KetcheI Will Be Clearer After the Match
 Thursday

Things are occurring on the mat over at Tucson that have bearing on the big match to be pulled on here on some date during the last of September between Al Ketchel and Ed Hussen. Hussen succeeded in throwing Roberts two fails out of three and he has now signed to meet Varney at Tucson Thursday.
 Hussen obtained his second fall from Roberts by the use of a toe hold, but this grab will be ruled out of the match with Narney. Narney has thrown Roberts, so 1t would seem that the Tombstone man has signed up for a real bout, and if Yarney throws Hussen. or is even able to keep Hussen from throwing him, there won't be much of a chance of Hussen doing anything wi,h Ketchel.
 Hussen obtained fall from Roberts in 10 minutes with a scissor and a Nelson hold. and won the third fall with a double knee and toe hold, Roberts giving up to save his leg from being broken. The middle fall was obtained by Roberts in eight minutes with a cross bar Nelson.

Terms of Match

TUCSON, Ariz, Aug. 2s.-Articles for the Varney-H -Hussen match have been signed and the bout is looked eagerly forward to by all who are interested in the sport and in Tucson, and in fact in Arizona, as this will be strictly IT in the way of a match. Hussen's challenge was accepted by Varney Friday night after the third fall had been decided between Illus sen and Roberts.
 The side bet for this match will be larger than any that has been put up in a previous match in this city for some time, so confident are both men that they can win. In the articles oi agreement it states that each wrestler shall put up s100 and $50 more at the ringside, making a total of si50. II either man should fail to put up the extra $50, then the s1O0 which he has put up previously win be forfeited. This is a pretty fair forfeit for both men. The S100 was deposited with the stakeholder yesterday afternoon.
 Varney thought at first that it was asking too much of him to get into training in so short a time, but he is willing to go on the mat this com ing Tuesday night with his opponent and feels confident that he can turn the trick. Hussen is equally sure of the bout and is willing to wager money up to $500 that he can put Var ney down for three falls.
 Hussen is down tO Yarney's weight so there will be no discrepancy there. He won the championship Of the state from Roberts in his class Friday night and is more than wiling to contest it against Yarney. He wres- tleds Yarney on a previous occasion and came of victor, so he has some grounds for being confident. Varney has wrestled much since then and feels that his science and knowledge of the game will far offset any excess of strength that Hussen may have over him. yarney is speedy and can keep out of all kinds of holes in ad- mirable shape. He is quick to sense what the other wrestler is after and thus can work against him to a better advantage He has wrestled Roberts and put him on the mat in nice style getting away as quickly as Hussen did Taking these tNo> matches against the same man as basis for comparison 1t is safe to say that a good bout will be witnessed by those who come Tuesday night to the zeck- endorf building to watch the affair.
 Under the articles of agreement three classes of holds are barred. the strangle and finger and toe holds.
