Just why George Hackenschmidt. the world's greatest wrestler, should think of coining to America to meet Frank Gotch for the world's championship la difficult to Imagine. Hack knows that ha can defeat Gotch. Gotch knows Hack is bis master.

Therefor why ehould there boutT bo any Gotch-Har- k Neither Gotch nor Hark needs the money, but maybe tho promoters do! Ah, there'e the rub! And the promoter usually do need It. Likewise they usually get It in boxing or wrestling matches. Hackenschmidt was offered largo sums of money to aell out to tho American promoters when he toured thio country. The big champion himself stated that he met some of the choicest rrooka ever Incubated during his atay here. This Is a distinct tribute and a compliment to our native managers. Gotch is tha best all around wrestler this country haa aver produced, and it is his own fault that his record ia marred by auspirloua circumstances, aurh that indicate that ha ia either not always in good condition or that ha la careless In allowing his opponent to take advantage of easy openings.
