WILL HACK BE
 BIG SURPRISE?
Nobody Wants to Admit That Gotch VIII Lose, But the Russian Is a Tough
 One
BOTH MEN HAVE IMPROVED

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Next Monday at Comiskey park. in the largest and one of the finest baseball pavilions in the country, Frank Gotch, eonquereF of every wrestler of importance in the world and hailed as champion, and George Haekenschmidt, Russian strong man, will undergo the supreme test. A new worlds champion Is a possibility, and il may be that the United States will have the honor of retaining the title. Gotch and Hack enschmidt are the admitted peers of the numerous grappiers Who are after the tile.
 Representative Of every civilized country in the world have tried their might with both the big fellows and each and every time Goteh and Hack have cone away with the honors. Sev-' erai times there has been man who appeared to have the qualifications of a champion and who would invade the territory owned and controlled by the big fellows, but the.r invasion would end with a meeting with either Goteh CT Hackensehmidt. These two have proven supreme rulers of the wrestling game and they are coming together like two of the great tribes of years ago. and one is going to fall.
 Both Have Confidence
 Which one is to be the winner is a mere matter of conjecture. Gotch ex- presses untold confidence. He tells everyone there is absolutely no chance for him to lose. The champion says he has perfected all the old holds which he has learned through years Of experience. and has invented a line of new ones which will be bewildering and viseIike and ones which will force the Russians shoulders to the mat in record time.
 Haekenschmidt also is confident of the outcome. Always a quiet and un- assuming person, Hack talks but little of the match, and in fact leads quess tioner to talk of other matters rather than get into discussion of the strength and abilities of himself. He has conditioned himself in England and some since he came over, about a week ago. and oatwardly looks like a yeritable Apollo His eyes are clear and sparkle with the luster of health and happiness. His face is tinged with tan which cannot be acquired in any way but by close companiouship with nature and the country air and sun shine He has a grip of steel and a handclasp from him forces a lump into the throat of the recipient Of tbe favor. It is a certain fact that Hack IS a strong man as has been heralded.
 Strength Versus Speed
 Whether or not this strength wiil be sufficient to overcome the clever ness and speedy attack of the cham pion seems to be the question wherein the outcome of the match lies. Hacks arms have the power of a HeI'cules within them. and it Is certain if he were 10 get hold of Gotch some thing would have to give. His shoul- der muscles and those of his cheat are developed to a nicety. and within them lies enormous strength. His legs seem to be the weakest part of his makeup, and they would be the pride of any man if that man were to pcs sess ones Of similar constructicn. Hack is not a tall man, but lns strength could De ikened to that Yf a giant Possibly there is not man in the world who Is as strong IS this Russian exponent of the w,estlsng game.
 Gotch is taller than Hack, is not so heavy, but carries lis weight better f anything than Hack. It is admitted that Gotch is not SO strong as Hack, but what the Iowan lacks in strength he more than makes up sn his know ledge of the gam9 and ability to put thet knowledge to good use. He is fast and when working on the mat shifts holds with such rapidity that his oppoaen: Is soon bewildered, aud
