CHICAGO. Sept. 4. (Special) For
the benefit of those people who know
the pleasant art of dislocation, known
s wrestling;, I shall try to describe In
simple terms the glorious day at Co-
rnlskeys baseball park. In Chicago, on
September 4. 1911. when Frank Gotch,
of Iowa, put $21,000 In cash, a per
centage of moving pictures and a $50,
000 theatrical contract down on the
mat In two straight falls and Incl
dentally reduced George Hacken
schmldt. of Russia, who attempted to
protect them from three-Inch headline
type to solid nonpareil in the sporting
notea
It ma a beautiful day. and Comla
keys concrete enclosure was solidly
lined with eager faces, from the United
States. Europe. Turkey, Australia and
points west. There were preliminaries.
In which small men wove themselves
Into hopeless knots, and big: Joe
Rogers, weight J60, and a stripling of
240. Fred Erler, pulled and hauled at
each other like two amiable hippotami.
Go tli Gets Ovation.
An of this excited some notice, but
when one first became aware of the
presence of S5.000 people in the imme
diate vicinity. It was when Mr. Go ten
came out In a blue dressing-gown and
climbed Into the ring.
At this point a cheer arose. Man
agers of National political conven
tions might do well to examine this
cheer and get pointers for the future.
It was a ten-acre, three-story cheer.
full of frantlo hopes and deciduous pa
triotism and Joyous red-whlte-and-
blue-blooded anticipation of trouble to
coma
Then Hackenschmldt came out. and
the crowd cheered him, too, with
stentorian wcoop. "nack was a
"stranger in a strange land." and It
was only fair that he be cheered, so
every one yelled for him and yelled
for Gotcb to desslcate him for the
honor of his country.
Wrestlers Men of Muscle.
Neither wrestler la a tall man. Both
might pass unnoticed In a crowd, were
It not for the extremely successful
manner In which they fill their clothes.
Both are - slightly frayed about the
hair, which hasn't had the endurance
of their muscles. Gotch Is a good-natured
young man. with a build that
would make a Greek statue blush at
Its lopsldedness. Hack Is a bullet
headed chap, with a 21-inch neck and a
tapering waist. It tapers down to
about 42 Inches from a 62-lnch chest.
The two men. emerged from their
bathrobes. Gotch In blue tights. Hack
In green, and both bare to the waist.
They shook hands, and E. "W. Smith,
the referee, officially "sicced" them on.
while the sporting world, with all Its
hopes and fears of the past years, tee
tered up and down and forgot to
breatha
The first 10 minutes were devoted to
the two devourers In getting acquaint
ed with each other. This was an af
fectionate performance. With heads
together and locked like two bulls In
a misunderstanding, they Investigated
each other's ears, hair, necks, elbows
and sides with loving little slaps and
pats and wrenches, any one of which
would have mussed up a terra-cotta
statue considerably.
Crowd Thirts for War.
They tugged and hauled each other
and got nowhere with the most strenu
ous energy. As an exhibition of stand
patism. It was sublime, but the crowd
wasn't Interested in polttjca It con
centrated Its 70.000 eyes on Hacken
schmldt'g ill-fated toes and thirsted for
events.
Now and then Gotch made a grab for
a green-clad leg. A lightning flash
would look tired and lazy- beside one
of those grabe. Each one brought an
eager shriek from the piled-up faces
In the amphitheater. Three times (
XT as je, 1 saw aelt n I A t a1
Hackenschmldt took that leg out of his
way to sarety by the shred of a sec
ond. The fourth time the margin was
on the wrong side. There was the
flash of a brown hand on a green leg,
a siren shriek from the 85,000. two
wildly-wagging green legs described a
half-circle In the air, and Gotch. hav

Nowadays enterprising moving pic
ture makers show films of lions toying
with deer and goats and other lion
food. There was a suggestion of the
lion's kindly manner In Gotch as he
browsed hungrily around Hack's nose,
ears, arms and neck in search of
something breakable.
This should really have been Hack's
part of the show. But the Russian
lion was strangely accommodating. He
let Gotch do all the browsing, the
heaving, the rending and the devour
ing. Active labor did not seem to In
terest him. Rest and reflection, close
to the mat, seemed to be almost a pas
sion with him. So he lay placidly
while Gotch worked out little problems
In leverage on his legs and then there
was another flash and both men were
on their feet while two moving picture

machines strained tendons and went
hopelessly lame trying to follow the
move.
Another minute of pushing and haul
ing on foot, then that same green leg
lingered the fraction of a wink too
long. Hack was down and Gotch on
top of him laboring methodically at
Hack's monolithic underpinning. With
a mastodonlo squirm Hack broke loose
and got to his feet. Gotch went after
him like a panther after a supper sev
eral days overdue. They clinched In a
sort of combination half-hitch and
true lovers' knot hold and Gotch went
down underneath. He leaked out of
Hack's grasp like a thousand volts of
electricity straying- out of a leaky
wire, and they clutched each other by
the head again on foot.
Gotch leaned on Hack's shoulders
nd smiled at the crowd. Then he up
ended his opponent and sat on him,
still smiling. He felt around Hack's
legs In a methodical manner, toohv a
good grip end signaled the hoisting
englrre to go ahead. Hack rose like a
sack of meal and. describing a grace
ful parabola, landed with one shoulder
down- Still smiling, Mr. Gotch. in a
way that could not possibly be de
scribed as considerate, sat down about
220 pounds' worth on the other shoul
der. It went down, down. Tt was
easy.
Plledrlver Could Have Turned Trick
Any plledrlver could have turned the
trick. The referee got down and
peered under the two squirming hill
ocks. Then he slapped Gotch on the
shoulder, the signal to cease nrtng,
and then blew out pandemonium with
a tremendous explosion.
For many blocks around people
stopped work and then said:
"Gotch has won a fall.
Tou couldn't help shouting, knowing
what had happened if you were a mile
away. The platform filled In a seoond.
Farmer Burns, the Columbus who d!S
covered Gotch, leaned over the ropes
and smiled with a grin that made his
ears start back in horror from the
yawning chasm. Hackenschmldt re
moved his hitherto unravlshed should
ers from the mat and went to his
dressing-room.
The cheers died away to a hurricane
and then to a mild riot. Presently they
stopped altogether and another noise
arose. It was the eager murmur of
the "I-told-you-so" club, enrolling re
cruits. Ten thousand new prophets
arose and stood forth and declared that
they had known It all along. And the
police busily pushed Intruders off Mr.
Comlskey's sacred grass, mostly wltn
the collar and elbow hold, many aspir
ants arose to challenge the winner
among them a Mr. Benjamin, of India,
very brunette and wearing 40 yards
of red and whle dress goods wrapped
about his head.
Experts Disagree on Bold.
Experts disagreed on the exact hold
used by Gotch In dumping his old-time
foe into the discard. Most of them
seem to think it was a combination
crotch and half-Neison. This Is techni
cal, but not Illuminating. I. myself,
think that the trick was done with a
nine-horsepower heave followed by a
rotary dump, an oleaginous squirm, and
percneron squat rignt on the thorax.
Ten minutes after the first fall.
Hackenschmldt came out again and
faced Gotch. Everyone was sorry for
him. But also everyone was dissatis
fied with the show. The crowd had
come to see one thing and It was de
termined to see It.
It watched Gotch indifferently when
e went at Hack like a hungry wolf.
It yawned while Hack protected his
persecuted legs with desperate earn
estness. But when Gotch slammed his
man down and began hunting hungrily
for his toes. 35,000 savages Joined In
the pursuit with frantlo cries.
Three times the toes dodged the In
evitable. Then Gotch's all-engulfing
hand closed over them. His muscles
tightened. Hack gave such a writhe
as an early Christian martyr might
have given when the wrack began to
creak. Then Gotch loosed the toes and
Hack fell back to his shoulders.
It was all over but the intermin
able discussion as to whether the toe
hold is more kindly and delicate In its
application than the strangle hold, the
eye-gouge or the various varieties of
mayhem which prevailed in the Chris
tian era
All those who won money on Gotch
declare that the toe-hold is a perfectly
lovely institution and should be used
In our kindergartens and boarding
schools.

TERRIFIC BLOW ENDS FIGHT
Unexpected Clip to Jaw and Stomach
Smash by Scrapper on Defense
Sends Opponent to Floor
for Five "Minutes.
LOS ANGELES, CaU Sept. 4. Cross
ing heavily with his right to the Jaw,
Johnny Kilbane, of Cleveland, knocked
out Joe Rivers, of Los Angeles, in the
sixteenth round of their scheduled 20
round bout at Vernon arena today.
With Rivers leading In almost every
round up to the last, Kilbane landed
his right on the Mexican s Jaw 20 sec
onds after the gong had sent them to
gether. The punch dazed Rivers, but
did not knock him down. Another ter
rific right to the pit of the stomach
doubled the Mexican In a knot on the
floor for the count of nine: Rising
grogglly to his feet. Rivers tried to
rush into a clinch, but Kilbane was too
good a ring general, and a well-dtreo-ted
cross sent the defeated man sprawl
ing to the canvas.
It was fully five minutes before
Rivers was able to leave the ring.
Rivers had flung himself at Kilbane
round after round, with Johnny on the
defensive. Rivers led slightly In the
first five rounds. He established a big
lead in the next four, but in the tenth,
eleventh and twelfth the Cleveland boy
held him about even.
BOBBY EVANS TO QUIT
PORTLAJTD LIGHTWEIGHT FOR
SAKES ROfG FOR PARENTS.
After Meeting Rongh Honse' Burns
Young Fighter Will Walt Until
He Reaches Majority.
Bobby Evans Is going to retire. The
Portland lightweight will forsake the
squared arena until he reaches his ma
jority, and possibly forever. In a let
ter to the sporting editor, Evans makes
known his intention of quitting for the
time being, at least, and declares that
it will be no "Pattl farewell." either.
His reason is the strenuous and per
sistent objection of his parents to a
ring career.
Bobby hopes to be developed suffi
ciently to entertain the mtddlewelghts
by the time lie re-enters the game. He
declares boxing is a losing proposition,
financially, at the present .time, but
believes he will do better after his
long retirement.
After having his fight with "Rough
House" Burns, scheduled for August
zo, at Boston, postponed twice, ana
finally called off, Evans opened nego
tiations with Marshfleld, Or., promoters
and secured a date there for September
9. He will meet Burns surely this
time, he asserts, as both have weight
and appearance forfeits posted. He is
confident of winning the last bout ho
will mix In until he has passed the 21
year mark.
Danny O Brten. the 140-pound Port
land boxer who recently went to Ban
Francisco In quest of fistic encounters,
is fighting his way to popularity In the
Bay City. He got off to a good start
in his initial bout with Rufe Turner,
getting two draws with the clever.
husky Oaklander.
O'Brien feels confident of landing a
match with Johnny McCarthy for Sep
tember 15 and also one with Jack Brit
ton, an Eastern boy, for September 22.
After the latter match he will return
to Portland for a short visit.

olden days, for the harness horses
were in eclipse, due to the sloppy track.

Irvlntrton course of old, and all that
was lacking was the bookies, the touts
and the betting ring to bring forth
visions of the good old days before
Tom Word put the kibosh on the old-

Bell Reed Is Winner.
