.DR. ROLLER EXPLAINS 1T

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Wm Haeken- sehmidts strength and endurance be too much for the acknowledged clev-l erness of Frank Gotch in their coui- ing bout at Comiskey park Labor Day2 This question seems to be the all i'm portant one concerning the big wrest- ling match. Gotch, the worlds cham plon, is the cleFerest man in the mat game today. He knows innumerable tricks and invents new ones daily. He is the originator of the deadly toe hold, which made Hackenschmidt cry enough" in their last battle.
 Reports from Humboldt, where Gotch is training, is to the effect that the Iowan excels in tricks of all kinds and that he has mastered a new one which will Dry Hackenschmidt loose rom the floor. Gotch in the most op- timistic man in the world as to the outcome of the battle. He contends he will be so fast that the Russian win not be ape to get hold on him and that he will make the lion go on the defensive from the start. Gotch has studied out several offen- siye moves and asserts he will win easily and in much faster time than it took the last time the two met.
 Hackensehmict Is Confident
 If Gotch is optimistic, Hacken- schmidt is even more so. At the pres ent time he weighs 227 pounds and says he is getting heavier, notwith- standing the tremendous amount of work he does every day to harden his muscles. He is relying upon his strength and really marvellous endur- ance to carry him through the mill. Hackenschmidt acknowledges that Gotch is the cieverest man in the game, but he puts forward the asser- ton that he will be able to under mine the strength of the champion with his far greater strength and in the end will be returned the winner.
 All athletic experts who have seen Hackenschmidt since he landed in Chi cago agree that ne is in perfect condi- ton. He has taken of all his super hous fat in his workouts in England and on the trip over, and right now is a mass of bone and muscle. Ills sss.ii.ssss s i; CTS, tiI5 0IIvs must essen tial to the wrestler. work as an oiled machine. His shoulder muscles and those of his arms and legs are in per feet control even at this time. He has strength combined with stamina and these two are expected to be his main assets in his bout.
 Some will question whether or not Hackenschmidt is game after his showing in the last Goteh match. Dr. B. F. Roller, who has charge of tue Russians training camp, and who is conditioning the big fellow for the supreme test, has ti.e following to say as to Hacks gamepess and also as to the reasons Hack quit in the ssst bout:
 Roller Makes 1t Clear
 T deny that Hackenschmidt is not a game man. It is true he gave up in his last match with Gotch, but he went as far as he could in his un- trained and unprepared condition. The match lasted over two hours and Hackenschmidt was forced to bear the brunt of the work during all of the battle. He practically carried Gotch's weight for the entire time. And , he was forced to work all of the time to keep the shifty Iowan from putting his shoulders to the mat. It looks to me that the foregoing de- notes gameness in the extreme"
 Hackenschmidt put in a strenuous day at his North Side camp yesterday. He shook on the blanket of slumber at a. m. and rushed into the waters of Lake Michigan and sported around in the waves for an hour.
 Wrestles With Four
 After a short rest Hack was at it again. He took on Dr. Roller for an hours work on the mat and then worked with Johann Koch, Gus Scho- enlein and Tom Jenkins, his wrestling | partners.
 If work is going to win the Labor Day battle. Hack has it won already. i With his strength and endurance he looks to be able to do the things to the Gotch cleverness he asserts he can. There is no doubt that it will be the greatest wrestling match the world has ever seen.
