The Iowan Immediately grabbed
Hacks left foot in an effort TO get
the toe hold which has made him
so famous. Hack got his foot away
instanter. Gotch continued to strug-
gle for the toe hold and Hack went
sprawling all over the ring to keep
his leg out OF the dangerous posi-
ton.
wRIGGLES OUT OF GRIP.
1926 to 3:3o-When they had
been on the mat just Is minutes,
Hack wriggled out of a grip and got
to his feet. A moment later he grab
bed for Gotch's leg, missed it and the
Iowan in return grabbed him by the
left leg and again threw him to the
mat. Gotch roughed Hacks nose
and mouth. Then Hack suddenly
broke Gotch's hold and regained his
feet Hack then quickly grabbed
Gotch around the waist and threw
the champion to the mat. Gotch
struggled f1ercely for a brief period
and regained his form, arising to his
feet. The aggressiveness and speed
for men of their size. There was not
an idle moment at any time. Then
they went at it, standup with the
perspfration pouring off both of
them. At 1928 Gotch again sent
Hack to the mat and smiled as the
Russian Strengthened out fiat. Gotch
endeavored to gain a wrist lock, but
Hack broke away. Quick as a flash
the champion turned on Hack, grab
bed his right leg reverse, and swung
Hack over his shoulders with a
crotch and neck grip. Referee Smith
leaned over the two and immediate
Iy tapped Gotch on the shoulder, des-
ignating him as the winner of the
first fall. The time was 14:1S 1-5.
So sudden was the fall accomplish
ed that the crowd hardly could be-
lieve Hacks shoulders had been pin
ned to the canvas. He did not seem
to make a struggle to get out of the
dangerous hold. Hack Immediate
~ jumped out of the arena and went
to his dressing room. During the
interval between falls Gotch did not
leave the ringside. He sat in a chair
just outside the ring and waved to
his wife, who returned the saluta-
ton.
SECOND FALL.
The resting interval lasted ! 5 min
utes, when Hack returned to the ring
and Gotch climbed back through the
ropes.
3:45 to 3.50-They shook hands
as both advanced quickly to the CEN
ter of the ring. Gotch was the ag-
gressor, Hack going along carefully
and cautiously. They tugged around
the ring, Gotch trying to straighten
his arms around the Russians back.
Hack would not allow it. Gotch sud
denly made a dive for the Russians
legs, but Hack backed away. The
champion was smiling at the care
Hack was taking. Gotch suddenly
made another lunge for Hacks legs,
but missed. Gotch started roughing
matters, using his shoulder under
Hacks chin repeatedly. Suddenly
the champion reached for Hacks
legs, but Hack was away. Gotch
made an effort to" lift Hack bodily
from the floor with half body hold,
but failed. Hack suddenly assumed
the aggressive and tried for Gotch's
leg, missing, and Gotch slipped to
his knees in getting away, but was
right up. The champion missed an
other leg attempt and still another,
and they tussled around the ring.

VALUE OF CLOVER HAY.

In the past horse feeders have not
understood the value of clover hay,
Clover should constitute one of the
main coarse roughages for horses. It
has been found to be more nutritious
than timothy and nearly equals alfalfa
In this respect. Feeders object to It,
however, because of its tendency to
produce heaves and other respiratory
troubles when fed in dusty or other
wise unclean condition. These objec-
lions do not apply to clover which Is
cut at the right time, properly cured,
and free from dust mold. Moldy
clover will often cause acute indiges-
ton and even death. Those who do
not care to feed straight clover will
find that the grade of light Glove,
mixed will give better results than
timothy, and there is no good reason
why it should not be usedsextensiveiy,
