RUSSIAN LION IS
READY FOR COTCH
Will Come Here Shortly and
Put Finishing Touches
to Training.

NEW YORK. July 22.-Jack Curley,
the well known wrestling impresario.
arrived yesterday from England on the
new ocean queen. Olympic. The most
important announcement made by Jack
was that George Hackenschmidt is in
the best Of form, and will leave Eng
land for here on the next trip OF the
Olympic, which sails from Southamp-
ton August 9. Also he said that
Hackenschmidt will Immediately pre-
pare for his match with Frank Gotch,
the worlds champion, which takes place
in Chicago Labor day, at the American
League Park.
When Hack left here he had already
signed up for the struggle for the
worlds title but Curley took a special
trip abroad to make sure that the Rus
sian lion would not default on the match.
The men will wrestIe for a guaran-
teed purse of s32 $500. the largest sum
ever offered for grapplers in this coun-
try, and each man is to receive share
of the picture privileges. Hack has
been hot on the trail of Gotch, ever
since the American champion worked
his famous toe hold on the Russian lion
and forced the latter to quit and re-
linuuish the worlds title
