MISUNDERSTANDING
MATCH FILMS

Many who have read reports of the
Hackenschmidt Gotch wrestling
match have no doubt formed an opin-
aon that the bouts were tame and un-
interesting. This was not so, how
ever, as the moving pictures of the
event will show. Anyone who sees
these pictures will be impressed at
once by the tremendous action pre-
'vaiiing throughout; and he will give
a gasp of surprise at the sudden term
ination of the second bout, after the
sturdy and spirited defense made by
the mighty Hack against the fast and
furious onslaughts of the Iowa farm
er.
The pictures show very clearly all
the particulars of the final struggle
in the second bout. The camera was
just In the right spot to catch every
move, being situated so as to COM
mand an unobstructed view of Hacks
shoulders. No one in the grand stand
or elsewhere could tell how the end
came, because the feet of Hack were
towards a majority of the spectators.
All they could see was Gotch in pos
session of his famous toe hold, then
deliberately throwing the imprisoned
leg of Hack lose, as he threw him
self forward and seemingly pinned
the lions shoulders to the mat
The pictures show that, as Gotch
secured firm grip on Hacks toe and
began to twist the leg, the referee Ed
Smith. bent his head as II to listen
to words spoken by Hack Gotch al
80 seems to be listening and suspends
the twisting operation. Next he
throws the imprisoned leg from him.
Then we see Hack sink on his shout
ders to the mat, without an attempt
70 bridge or otherwise save himself.
Gotch sprawling on top of him to
make the fall technical one.
That the match was most disap-
pointing cannot be denied, but it is
equally true that the twenty minutes
OF wrestling showed the marvellous
quickness of Gotch, his fierce aggress-
iveness and his great superiority over
the Russian. And it also displayed
the mighty strength of Hack and a
wonderful speed for a man of his
bulk. The story about strained ten
dons in one of his legs may be true,
but. until Hack lay down, in that fate
full second bout, no one ever would
have thought that he could have car
Tied his massive frame through that
terrific melee of 20 minutes with such
swiftness and such tenacious resist
ance. on one whole and one game leg.
The only sensible view to take of the
affair is that Hack knew he was out
classed and beaten, and that, in pre-
ferring defeat with an unbroken leg
to defeat with broken leg, he choose
the lesser of two evils.

The pictures, which we're taken and
turned out by the Selig Polyscope
Company, for the Motion Picture Pat
ents Company, will be shown on about
1850 feet of film, in two reels The
photography throughout is faultless
anu there is not single foot OF padd-
ing or uninteresting subject matter
| in the two films. The camera men
used excellent judgment in this re-
spect, taking only such preliminaries
as would be of interest, and including
splendid panoramic views of the great
gathering of over $4,000 people. They
have caught the mad rush of spec
tators and police to the ring stand,
when Gotch was declared victor, with
better effect thar could any pair of
the $4,000 eyes that gazed upon the
scene. Indeed, those who view the
picture las already limited, will see
much more and that far more clearly
than did the thousands who paid $40
for a seat.
The fine fettle in which Hack en-
tered the ring will be shown by the
great ease with which he gets out
of the three dangerous holds gained
by the champion. Just watch him
on these three occasions, when he has
been thrown to the mat, or crashed
on it, and ask yourself If it did not
look, at that time, as if the bouts
would keep the spectators in their
seats until shutdown. That's exactly
what many at the ringside thought.
No, these pictures do not chronicle
the incidents of tame affair. They
image pent-up, human dynamic forces
that clash IN mighty conflict, while
skill and cunning and swiftness and
brain control them. They hold you
with a grip that does not relax until
you witness the tremendous ovation
given the victor.
State rights for these films are be-
ing rapidly sold by the Gotch-Hack-
enschmidt Picture Company at 20
East Randolph street, Chicago.
1t will be of interest to exhibitors
to know that the total receipts for
the match we're $87,053; that Gotch's
guarantee was $4,000, and that the
Empire Athletic Club cleared $751;
GIG.
Hacks percentage amounted to
$43,437, but he had sold his interest
to his manager, Curley, for $1,000
and $4,000 expense money. Curley
also received one-puarter of the clubs
net profits, making his total winnings
on the match $34,591.
