Show HACIEISCHMiofAFTET AlEilCi WBESTLEBS Will BacJv Himself Against Anyone, Including Frank Gotch. Tribune Special Sporting Service. NKW YORK, duly 21. There is another an-other Ilackenschmidt in town. Ho is from the real family of that name, too, and is a brother to tho renowned George Jlackonschiuidt, who until about, a year ago was the champion wrestler of tho world. Tho latest arrival, Milo by name, is a wrestler, too, but he is not in George's class that is, so far as weight is concerned. He is a welterweight, welter-weight, weighing 145 pounds at his best. He's hero lo sen what ho can get on in the wnv of matches, and lie bars nobody. What is more, he has a bankroll and savs that he will bet on himself in any match he makes. lie has 1000 m now to moot any man in the world, and th.it goes for Frank Cotch. Young Ilnekensohinidt looks the wrestler's part. He has the build and physique of his brother, only on a smaller scale. He has massivo shoulders shoul-ders and a neck that would lit a young bull. Ili.s muscles are like iron. According Ac-cording to him. there is not a trick in tho gamo he does not know, and he sys that tho man who want? to meet hiin can have the match under' any rules he desires. The voitngstor. and that is all he is, for he is only 25 ycais old, has been all ever tho world, and has wrestled more than two hundred matches, lie was beaten but once, ho says, and that time in India by a man who weighed more than twice as much as he did IIo says in that country the idea of catcii-as calch-can wrestling is much different than tlie rules of such matches iu this eountrv. Uverylhing goes, gouging, hair-pulling, and evcrvthing in fact that would bo considered a foul hero. One match ho tells of, which took place with a negro in India, resulted in the death of his foe. It was . ('aich-as-catch-can affair, and although he was badly beaten and bruised up, and suffering" from a dislocated colk.r-bone, colk.r-bone, ho went on with the match, and 'punished his man so severely that four davs afterward he died. He says ho himself was laid un iu the hosoital for about a week. Which, if true, stamps young Ilackenschmidt as ono of the gaiiip.st men iu the ring. Untkenschniidt has a record a couple of yards long over men whom nobody on this side ever heard about. On his record, however, he has the Avinnhig of tiio rhampionship in all classes at a tcurnament iu British India in 1004, the- Olympic championships in 1905, the Casino" in Paris in 190, the Wcin tournament in 1007, and the London and Glasgow tournament in 1003. Llackonschmidt says that .he has an-othor an-othor brother at home who is a heavyweight, heavy-weight, who is even better than his brother, Georce, but who is kot iu the background because his brother will not allow him to appear, and becnuse lie has not enough money to start out himself. Young Hack has Jack Sullivan looking look-ing after his iutorests now and will do business with any wrostler who thinks he would have a chance with him. His money is ever ready to be put up, and all ho wants is tho call for a match, and he will be on hand. |
