day their last training exercises 70,
the contest.
Frank Gotct, the champion, went
from his hotel to the Chicago Athletic
Club. where, during the day, he vii
wrestle with his training partners ano
do some light gymnasium work.
George Hackenschmldt, the Russian
challenger. was UP early for walk
along the lake shore.
Il am going to wrestle carefully and
all these stories about me making a
rushing bout are false" said Gotch
II I allow Hackenschmidt to get hold
of me at the start he is liable to break
some of my bones with his mighty
strength. He Is a hard one to handle
because Of his power coupled with
weight.
Plan Of Attack Not Outlined.
Il can not say that have outlined
my plan Of attack and probably won't
until l have locked heads with him for
five or ten minutes. l can appreciate
the fact that Hackenschmidt has Inn
proved greatly and learned more since
l met him last. 1t is because Of this
that I must be careful for / am going
to do my best to keep the title for
America.
Il believe it will simply be a case OF
condition. The man with the greatest
endurance will win, because both of VIZ
are strong and able to stand for a long
time gruelling match. am In condl-
tion when I say that am right. You
can take it from me am ready.
Il intend to do little work today
which will consist mostly Of wrestling
with my trainers. This will be the last
mat work do until I enter the ring
on Monday. Tomerrnw I intend to do
q little gymnasium work and then my
preparation viii be ended
0oteh In Perfect Condition.
Marin Delaney. physical director Of
the Chicago Athletic Club. said today
that Gotch looked in perfect condi-
ton.
"Gotch showed me some Of his holds
and the best one to my way Of think
ing is the one he calls the new up
ender.'" said Delaney. 1T is SIM
pie Improvement on the old hold Of the
same name. The wrestler who gets in
to such hold has no chance to get out
and the more he works against the hold
the easier 1t Is for Gotch to win for
the man works against himself"
Wrsstlsrs Nay Visit.
Hackenschmidt expressed desire
to meet thee hampton after the latter
arrived from Iowa yesterday and It
may be the 1wo will visit between now
and Monday.
Hackenschmidt has done most Of his
training in secret.
About $4,000 has been taken in at
the box office to date and before Mon
day it is expected receipts will reach
$4,000. The prevailing odds are to
on Goth, tho betting has been light.
Goteh Has New Hold.
A new wrestling hold called the
"upende," which Frank Gotch has de-
vised for special use in his match with
George Hackenschmidt Labor day,
was tried out by the worlds champion
in a series of secret practice bouts at
the Chicago Athletic Club.
The new hold is designed to upset an
opponent who Is heavier and stronger
and Gotch after trying 1t on several
training companions. declared him.
