Show russian 0 lion has a yellow ellow streak I 1 what a frost this la ial vor for years he has been considered tha king of wrestlers wrest lers and stories have been told of how ho grabbed opponents opponent s around tro und the body squeezed them until their bibs cracked and thou thon tossed them into the discard yet the first time he met a man who really knows the wrestling game he curled up and quit like a yellow canine who sees bees a bulldog coming around the corner he makes no excuses except that he was wag tired and that he realized that ile he could not throw gotch A quitter like he is ought to be immensely popular among englishmen who pride themselves upon their gameness ga and who always put a game man up on a pedestal american wrestlers wrest lers have contended all along that hack was not a game fellow and most of them who put down a bet on gotch figured that unless hack won in a hurry hurr he would not win at all their talc talk about hacks lack of gameness was attributed to jealousy betit would seem now that it was well founded jack carkeek the old time wrestler who I 1 was wag around seattle for awhile and who helped train gotch for this match came out flat footed and said that hack would not go on the mat unless the match snatch was fixed for him to win from the showing mack hack made in chicago friday night it looks as it if he was one of those manufactured cham champions hack Is satisfied some may believe that gotch Is no not t hacks boss because frank did not put the lions shoulders on the mat but hack says he Is convinced and he does doea not want another match here Is a man Bup supposed posed to be the strongest wrestler in the world an athlete with a neck like a marble column legs like stone htone pillars and a chest like a pro prow w of a battleship battle tle ship ho looks like ho co could uld fight a man iman all night but simply b because lie he could not grab gotch and spin him around like a top hea loses heart and quits like a 9 spineless shrimp hack measures 52 inches around the bliest chest and the little shriveled heart of him must rattle around in that giant framo frame like a dried pea in a peck MOLES meas uro ure there are those who say that gotch Is not the game man when he Is being punished and one ot of the men who makes that assertion has been very close to gotch in all of his big matches but hack Is so BO yellow rel lovi that he makes botch jook like the camest gamest fellow in the business the truth of the matter probably Is that hack realized that he would soon be stretched rin his back and he quit cold giving up his title of champion of the world rather than suffer that humiliation when hack quit before ho he was thrown the cry went up that the bout was fixed that is probably not true it the match was fixed the men would have put up a much more interesting bout and it would not have ended with one man quitting that way eddie smith sporting editor of the chicago american was the referee and he has a reputation for square dealing so w it if there was any fixing he was not in oo on it match was not fixed another tiling thing that puts the kibosh on that talk of a fixed match ta Is the fact that hack says he will not tackle gotch again he got all he wanted 1 friday rid ty night and he says there la Is nota not a man in england who has a chance with gotch had this match been fixed the m men en would have done some fancy work on the mat griat would have pleased the crowd but instead of that they were on their feet most of the time shoving each other around shoulder to shoulder hack was said to be the best man in the world wrestling on his feet and columns wore were printed that if gotch stayed on his feet hack would got get behind him and flop him quickly but nothing of that kind happened the only flop of the evening was when gotch picked hack up bodily and slammed him on the mat that jolt took all the fight out of hack and he decided he had enough |
