better man and it would been useless for him to continue the struggle Such uch a statement ment made Hack friends friend and had he been content to leave for England with this he be would have been

tb be unfair and against the rules of wrestling He dug his nails Into my face tried to pull my ear off oft and poked pol ed his thumb into my eye eo Gotch fought not like a man but like a cat I will wilt state facts and let the English public Judge In the first place I 1 underestimated power and thought it unnecessary unnecessary unnecessary sary to do much training For two weeks after aner my arrival from England I went on a tour in the East and then I hurried on to Chicago The manager of the Chicago Athletic club where I Iwas Iwas Iwas was to have trained insulted me and acted mean so that I only went there twice Consequently I 1 1 was wholly un unfit unfit unfit fit to meet Gotch However I am sure that if he had w wre re ed fairly I should hould have haYe beaten him Once Onee in the ring I began aggressive tactics but Gotch would not come on and started his tricks I saw taw that his body bod was oiled and protested but the referee paid no heed to me inc The people at the ringside rin were wen all prejudiced against me and unfair funfair so 1 I concluded the th best thing to do was to keep kc p silent and an do my m best Gotch then dug his finger into my eye and I called out Unfair but he continued and the referee did not stop him himI hI I will keep all my m English engagements engage engagements enga e ments and now that I know Gotch I will train to win back the champion championship ship but not on American soil soli I dont think American ideas of oc sporting are fair In view of or this statement it will willbe willbe willbe be well to remember r Hack as he appeared ap appeared appeared on the mat in Chicago This showed him a rank quitter and Frank Prank Gotch located and brought out a streak of yellow ellow of a much more radiant hue than has ever eyer been shown before by any of the champions of the theother theother theother other side 1 Nelson Makes Good Move Battling Nelson did exactly the right thing for the Champion lon of ot Hegewisch

twenty rounds roun s then and Gans Jans must have hae gone pack bark considerably If Nelson can do it how now In Li a argument the theod odds od s would all be In favor fa r of Gans Garin The can easily stall st for this distance istance and at the sam time so go completely out out box Nelson that a referee would have hue hueto to give the Baltimore boy the th decision Bat Hat owes owe It to himself as well as his friends to sign up with his best chances to win and certainly Gans cannot ob object object object to going the limit with Nelson hi lu another battle as this tIlIs was the condi
