"Farmer" Burns, the old-time wrest ler, owed the farm, and it was as a sort of a trainer to Burns that Gotch started In the game. That was In the year 1899, Since that time Gotch has engaged In 331 matches, not to mention the minor affairs, and of this nnmhnr ho Irurt hnlv Bfiven flv'P- of them befoig handicap matches in which he failed to throw his man as many times as agreed. Gotch practically Became cnarapion in 1906 when he defeated Tom Jen kins at Kansas. City. Jenkins was then considered the best in the coun try. Among other well known mat artists whom Gotch bas mastered may be mentioned Duncan McMillan, Carl Pons, Farm's r Burns. Jim Parr. Ed. Atherton..Americus, Yankee Rodgers, Dr. Roller,' Fred Been, and HJalmar Lundln. His greatest match was with George Hackenschmldt, when he won tttr championship -three years ago.

His first notable mat contest was with Paul Pons .at that tim'e the Greco-Romam wrestling champion of the world. Hack won thfe match In 48 mlnuttes. Ills suc cess determined him to enter the pro fessional game. In the succeeding years lws defeated all the best men in Europe, without any apparent trouble. One of the most exciting matches he ever had was with Madrall. the "Terrible Turk," with an unl)i?aten iWord. The match was for the the big Russian know the sting of defeat. " .. Hackenschmldt acknowledges that Gotch Is the cleverest man in ihe game, but declares that In the com ing match h)3 will be able to under mine the strength of tte champion with his far greater strength and In the end will be returned the . win ner.
