Mrs. Frank Gotch will accompany her husband hus-band when he goes to Chicago tonight to complete his training for his match with Hackenschmldt on Labor dar She will occupy a box close to the mat, and will entertain a party of her -friends at the match. Jesse Westergaard, one of Gotch'B trainers, expresses the opinion that the champion will try neither a hammeriock ham-meriock nor any sort of a nelson hold on Hackenschmldt. "It would be useless for any one to try a nelson on Hackenschmldt," said Westergaard. "He Is too strong around the neck and shoulders for either a "hammeriock or a nelson grip to have any effect on him. I believe that, save for a few bluff attacks on the head and neck, Gotch will not attack Hackenschmldt above tho waist lino Monday. He will work on his legs." Chicago, Aug. 31. Those accustomed accustom-ed to see European wrestlers with bare limbs and bare feet, may see Hackenschmldt work next Monday In the same attire usually used by Gotch. The Russian has been studying study-ing the advantages of the long tights with heavilj padded knees, and yesterday yes-terday acquired an outfit which he intends to try out from now until the day of the match. Should he find them comfortable, and find that he can work as freely In them as in the covering which nature gave him, he will use them on Labor day |
