Hack on the Defense.

In the first bout Hackenschmidt got
up from the mat once or twice after
Gotch had got behind him and it
looked as if his strength might help
him along, but Gotch kept after him
like a fiend and continued to keep
him on the defense. Finally after 13
minutes of wrestling the champion
hurled his man to the mat again and
then showed the crowd the ability Of
his opponent by landing the challenger
by one of the commOnest holds known
to the game. While Hack was worry
ing about the toe hold, Gotch slipped
over a half Nelson and crotch hold
and as the Russian strove to break
away Gotch let slip the half Nelson
end of his grip. This seemed to make
Hack think that he was getting away,
but quick as a flash the champion dove
in again and threw his man with a
was one of the old leg locks that
made Farmer Burns famous and the
hand of the veteran could be seen in
the first fall.
The second fall came so quickly
that very few of the spectators real
lied that the great thing was over
Hack made an effort at the start to
get hold of Gotch's legs, but was
blocked and after five minutes of
work Gotch again sent his man to the
mat with a leg hold Working over
him quietly and disgustedly, Gotch at
last seized one OF Hacks feet with
his left hand, not expecting to get
the Russian on hold which should
have been so easily blocked and it
was just here that Hackenschmidt
surrendered forever his claim to any
standing in the sporting game. AS
Gotch twisted his foot the Russian
begged the American to let him go,
with an accompanying appeal from
Gotch to GO ION and wrestle," and
the result that the foreigner sank
back on the mat to the worst defeat
a challenger for title ever had in
years. With anything like a show of
nerve he might have pulled away and
continued, but his heart was too weak
for the work and he preferred to be
called a gutter than continue the
gruelling that he knew must be in
store for him in a long match.
The attendance was 10000, gate re-
cefpts $87,053. Gotch received $21 900
and Hackenschmidt $13,500. Jack
Curley, Hackenschmidt's manager, re-
ceived $29,937 and the Empire Ath-
letic club $6,250. The picture royal
ties were divided between the wrest-
lers. Walter Eckersall, the football
player, acted as timekeeper.
