The upper picture shows Frank Ootch using one of hit many toe holds. No mortal could free himself from such a grip. There is a lot of talk about Hackenschmidt being able to break the toe hold. Whoever talks such nonsense haa never seen the champion cham-pion fasten it properly. Hackenschmidt may prevent Goteh from getting the toe hold as be did in their previoui i match, but it ie a physical impeeaibil-ity impeeaibil-ity to break Ootch a genuine toe hold when he gets the grip on it. Bones may break, and will certainly break, if the victim doesn't place his shoulders oa the mat in a hurry. When Gotch aad Hackenschmidt wrestled in 1808 In Chicago they were on the mat two hours and three minutes without a fall. For the last half hour the Russian is said to have repeatedly caught hold of the ropes. During nearly the entire match he was oa the defensive and finally quit. He didn't know much about the catch as catch can game then, but has studied it diligently ever since and for that reason the 'match Mondav in the white aox park at Chicago Chi-cago should be much more interesting and more nearly even thaa before. On dope it is as difficult match ia which to pick the winner aa oae often hears about. The lower picture showa the Rinwian's meged bnild. " : -i s Y - - I .; J - ' .
