Iowan Wins Bout In Two Straight
Falls In 10 Minutes and 52Ia Sec

Defeated Man Had No Chance.

Chicago.-In less than twenty min
utes George Hackenschmidt, the Rus
sian Lion" went down to defeat be-
fore Frank Gotch, the worlds cham
pion wrestler, in the presence OF 35.-
900 spectators, the largest throng that
ever witnessed wrestling match.
The showing made by Hackenschmidt
proved that his powers had been
largely overestimated.
Gotch won the first fall in IA min
utes and Is seconds with an inside
leg hold and chancery, which is the
new hold Gotch developed for the
match. The Iowan won the second
fall in 5 minutes and 80 is seconds
with toe hold switched into a
crotch and half nelson.
G0tch proved his superiority in the
most marked manner. He was the
aggressor throughout and the Russian
never had chance. There was little
rough work, that which was done be-
ing by Hack himself.
The bout simply demonstrated that
Hack lacked the heart to stand up to
Gotch's punishment
The instant that Referee Smith
tapped Gotch on the back to signalize
victory Farmer Burns grabbed the
American flag from Gotch's corner
and pinned 1t to Gotch's neck.
Gotch said after the. bout:
Honest. l didn't think it would be
SO easy. expected to win, but not
with the ease with which the feat
actually was accomplished. I had not
been in the ring three minutes when
I knew that Hack was even less to be
feared than he was three years ago
Hack ran for his dressing room clad
in his dressing gown on the instant
that his shoulders touched the mat
and he could regain his feet. He was
jeered by the crowd as he ran. The
Russian had nothing to say following
his defeat.
