This match was one pof the greatest mat encounters in the world’s history. It gave Gotch world fame, disillusioned him concerning the strength of Hack- enschmidt and made him invincible. Gotch had heard wonderful tales | concerning the “Lion” and his almost superhuman powers. He .was told that Hack possessed the stréngth to tear him limb from limb. He was cautioned to stay away from his oppo- nent and wear him down.” Gotch be- lieved these stories and went into the battle to do or die, but he plnyeyl a careful, waiting game. There was no fall in this match, but the world’s championship passed to the Iowan, for Hackenschmidt quit, exhausted. Every ounce of energy the “Lion” possessed had been ex- pended in fighting a man his superior in every department of the mat game. Gotch, advised by Farmer Burns, the wisest mat general in the game; wore the Russian down to the point of utter exhaustion. For nearly two hours the mat gladiators stood head to head, sparring and stabbing for holds, hanging on, tugging and_pull- ing. An inspection of the pictures re- veals the information that Gotch fought high, bending over Hack with one arm resting heavily on the Rus- slan’s neck. Farmer Burns has fig- ured out just how many pounds pres- ‘sure was exerted by Gotch on Hack- enschmidt, who was forced to fight back, bending low. That was a par$ HOT RACE PREDICTED Stahl Does Not Claim Flag for Champion Red Sox. Prepared for Hard Fight Which ls Sure to Come in the American League—Praises Callahan and Frank Chance. Chicago entertained J. Garland Stahl and his world champions, for a little over an hour the other day while they were changing trains on their way back to Boston. { “We are not claiming a “world’s championship nor even a league flag at this time,” said Stahl. “This is not ! the time for claiming championships, but the time to prepare for the fight league this year. We, are ready for the opening, and I have cut the team down below the limit. “In my opinion the coming struggle will be the hardest in the history of our organization. Looking over the field that is entered in the Americdn League derby, I figure that to win a pennant we will have the most stren- uous struggle with the White Sox, Athletics and the senators. "of those three teams are pennant contenders, and I realize that to re- peat our performance of last season we will have to go iust a little better than any ‘one of them. “Jimmy Callahan has the strongest crew of talent that has represented the South side club in several years, and if the hitting strength of the team anywhere near equals the defense, 1 fear that they will be at or near the top from the start. “I dread sending my boys against any team that has an Ed Walsh, and from all reports Edward Walsh is do- ing mound duty for Cal. Walsh is a thorn in the side of every manager in the American league circuit with the exception of Cal,.and if he 18 able to perform gs good and as ottsn as he did in 1912 seven pilots in' the circuit want to do ‘plenty of worrying. ¢ “Callahan was able to get his team out ahead last year, but when at the top his twirling staff went to pleces. If he can rely upon Scott, White and Benz to pitch ‘in their regular turns with Lange -and one. other to step'in when needed he will have & which will do its share to keép them out in tront A they get there at th “!'hnn.hloflu are s sttong ¢ llve aggregation; and ‘if Copnie’ can keep his nlteher- in trim they will ‘givens trbible: Griffith can always be counted upoa to put nine men on the fleld who wilj Gotch Gets Toehulti in Second Battle With Hackenschmidt. which is sure to come in the American |.

For two long hours the wrestlera roughed it and mixed it, Gotch all the while exerting his pressure on the head. Gotch saw Hackenschmidt’a strength fading. With renewed fire he sprang forward. There was a shuffle and a struggle toward the ropes. Gotch went to the top and the crowd stood and cheered like mad. Gotch feinted for a toe hold. Hack tried desperately to rise but Gotch held to his opponent like a bulldog. Gotch secured a crotch hold and again tried to put the foot in position for'the toe hold, but Hackenschmidt, who mortally feared this grip, broke away. Hackenschmidt came to his feet' and darted for the ropes with Gotch in pursuit. Gotch seized Hack- enschmidt with a waist lock and with a_ lightning heave bore him to the mat...

Hackenschmidt had wailed his plaint that was heard arourd the athletic world. He asked for mercy. Gotch let up and Hacken- schmidt arose. The crowd gasped with astonishment. ‘Hackenschmidt refused to come back fqr the second bout, thus sur- rendering the championship of the world to his hate& foe. He had no heart to continue; his wanderful strength had failed. His wrestling wreath had passed from his brow to adorn the head of his conqueror. (Copyright, 1913, by Joseph B. Bowles.) ¢ores. Co.

His pitching crew, led by Johnson, is one of the best in the organization. “Although I do not think that the New York team can be counted in the first division at the end of the season, I do expect that they will not receive callers in the cellar. ‘Frank Chance will bring the Highlanders to the top of the second division.
