Gotch's legs, but he did not connect.
During the first five minutes neither
man secured an effective hold. They
tugged and pulled at each others legs
and arms, seeming to test the others
strength. Gotch made three passes as

their knees.
Crowd Cheers Wildly.

Hack fought hard with both hands and
legs to break the hold, and finally sue

knee hold and sent him to the mat.
Gotch, however. did not obtain an ef-

was soon standing again.
Hackenschmidt then obtained body
hold on Gotch and the 1owan dropped

stride across the arena from the
home players bench to home plate
where the wrestling platform was
erected in full view of the 10000
wrestling fans.
| The first encounter with battery
of press photographers over, Gotch
placed his hand on the edge of the
platform and sprang lightly up and
then over the ropes. The Iowa farmer
his face wreathed in the customary
smile, took his seat in the western
corner. and Burns draped silk Ameri.
can flag about the corner post behind
the champion.
At this point the announcers mega
phoned across the field. in all direc-
tions that all bets were declared Oft.
All Bets Are Declared OF.
Gail bets are declared off by order
| Of Chief of Police McWeeney and at
the request of the Empire Athletic

This announcement was greeted
with much laughter. The crowd was
with Gotch, and the idea that anybody
wanted to bet except on the American
appeared ridiculous.

Story Of tho Bout.
Gotch was the first to enter the
arena and was loudly cheered. DR.. J.
J. Davis, who examined both contes.
tants, pronounced Gotch in perfect
condition, but had less approval for the
big Russian. Hack, he said, was pale
and evidently in a nervous state, fol
lowing his sleepless night. He examin'
ed one of Hacks legs, which was re,
ported to be bit out of condition
from training accident, but could find
no apparent defect.
| Gotch climbed through the ropes in
to the southwest corner, which had
been draped with an American flag.
He was clad in blue bathrobe. He
faced the audience with smile, in
recognition Of the applause given him.
He then sat with his back to the audi
ence, exposing four-inch bald spot.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Frank Gotch o
Iowa successfully retained the heavy
weight championship of the world yes
terday when he defeated George Hack
enschmidt in two straight falls II
Comiskey park. The first fall CANE
after fourteen minutes and elghteeI
and one-half seconds of gruelling WORE
and the second was won In five MN
utes and thirty-two and one-nal1
seconds with shameful ease.
One of the largest crowds that ever
witnessed a wrestling match any
where in the world thronged the
south Side ball park, over $4,000 PEG.
ple being present when the final bout
was called.
Every seat in the huge stands was
filled. and several thousand spec
tators poured out on the field and
were kept back by ropes stretched
across. It was typical holiday crowd
and It gave vent to thunderous roars
of enthusiasm at the slightest provo
cation.
The $50 policemen on the grounds
had an easy time in keeping order
The people were satisfied to stand OF
sit any place in order to see their
favorite win.
Gotch is Better Man.
Gotch won the match because he
was the better man. He proved con
clusively that his previous showing
against the Russian Lion was not due
to luck. and he showed he was the
foreigner's master in all departments
OF the game. From the start until the
end he took the aggressive and never
gave his opponent a moments rest.
Hackenschmidt, on the other hand
was nervous. His every action showed
It. and his work, instead OF being o.
championship caliber, was likened t.
that Of the poorest novice. He entered
thssring wearing sullen look, and ap
peared frightened.
After he had been thrown for the
second time he slowly rose to his feet
drew a huge sigh of relief as If ne
were glad it was all over. The look Of
terror was gone, but the sullenness
remained,
Not deigning to see the outstretched
hand of his conqueror, the foreigner
! slowly climbed through the ropes, and
with eyes fastened on the ground
shambled to his dressing room amid
the jeers of the crowd.
! Gotch was the first fan to approach
the arena, He crossed the field at 2:5t
p. m, closely followed by Emil klank
his manager; Farmer" Burns, his vet
eran trainer; Joe Rogers, Jess Wester
gard, Hassane the Turk, Jim Asbel
and a retinue of camp followers.
Cheer after cheer arose from the
vast ampitheater as the famous mat
