EDITOR'S NOTE This Is the' tenth of a aeries of articles which Mr. Corbett Is writing concerning the career of the late Frank Ootch, who went to his grave the undefeated heavyweight wrestling champion of the world. The next Installment will appear tomorrow, Frank Ootch reached the absolute crest of his greatness and became the catch ae catch can champion of the world on April 1101, In Chicago, when he forced George Hackenschmldt, "the Russian lion." to quit after two hour and three minutes of grueling wrestling.

To Martin Burns must go a portion of the glory for the great triumph of the American, becauae It waa the counseling of that great mat general which played so vital a part in the victory for the Iowa gladiator. Hackenschmldt came to America her alded aa tha mightiest wrestler the world had ever produced. Tales of hla strength pictured him aa a man or superhuman power. Hack had swept through Europe like a cyclone, crushing Into oblivion every wrestler who tried conclusions with him there. When he arrived In the United Statea his most radical en thuslaats went so tar as to declare that he could tackle any two Americans In one ring and win the match.

Juit about thla time, while the rest of the American wrestling fraternity had taken to the "storm cellars' Frank Ootch electrified the American sporting publlo with the annouhcementt "I'll wrestle this Russian lion." As soon as the match waa made Ootch sought out Burns, his old teacher. "Farmer, I'm placing myself In your hands. Teach me tho tricks necessary to beat him." Burna advised: "To beat him, Frank, you'll have to play a waiting game. He's got It on you in height, weight and strength. But stamina, Is your long forte.

Wear him out." A monster throng Jammed Ita way Into Dexter's pavilion In Chicago the night of the contest and aaw Frank Ootch place, the final seal of greatness upon himself; saw him wear down his powerful, "unbeatble" toe to a point of utter exhaustion, forcing the great eat Vreatler that Europe ever produced to yell "quits" In a match with the World'a championship at atake. Had Ootch elected to go out and "fight" with hla powerful rival It I quite possible the remarkable American could have won the match on falla. It developed during the contest that Ootch had It "on" Hackenschmldt In the matter of science, endurance and waa a fair match for him even In strength, and In rameness and thinking power was easily the Russlan'a peer. But Unlch. follnwlnar lmpHcltlV the ad.

vice or uurns, played the waiting gams. Ha kept away from mlxina It aa much as possible through the early tussling. Those who saw that match will recall how Ootch, alwaya fought high, bending over his rival, with one arm resting heavily en the neck of "the Russian lion." Ootoh, by holding Hack In Just that way, caused Hack to exert the maximum amount of strength in fighting back. "And that Is the Idea, Frank." advised Burns before the match. "Make him work himself tired.

Tou take it tasy. You've got all night to finish him. Outgame htm; outlast him. That's the Idea." Both men sparred cautiously for an opening as they went to the center of the ring with tha call of time. Ootch waa the quieter of the two and balked all efforts of Hackenschmldt to trap htm.

Onoe the Russian tripped and threw Ootch, but the American waa up on his feet and out of harm's way In a flash. Ootch, cool, calm, tantalising, continually taunted hla rival. After fifty mlnutee of tugging, pulling and aparrlng for holda Hackenschmldt pushed Qotch away and, calling Referee Ed Smith to blm, turned to Ootch and Inquired: "Shal) be call this match a draw?" "Not on your life," anapped Ootch. "do on and wrestle; I've got all night," responded Smith. After that the Russian fought with a spirit of a loser end Ootch with each paaslng minute gained more and more confidence.

He grew bolder: Abandoning the entirely defensive game, Ootch started to attack. Spurred on by the Increasing belief that he waa the absolute master of the highly touted Russian, Ootch mixed It In a furious way, and, following a wild flurry, Ootch flung Hack to the floor, Then, like a demon, the American tried te pin the Russian. But Hack fought back with all the power in his gigantic body. Ones Hack broke loose and grabbed the ropes. Ootch tors htm away, lifted him up and then sent him crashing to the floor.

Flinging himself upon his foe, Ootch worked with redoubled fury. Ho mauled Hack aa few men ever have been mauled In wrestling history. Just when It seemed certain that Ootch had Hack In a deadly embrace the Rusalan moaned: Til stop. Please. Mr.

Ootoh, get up. I give you the match." Ootch Jumped to hla feet, and Referee Smith rushed over to the prostrate Rua. slan and said; "Tou have, forfeited only one fan. Do you want to go on with th match!" "No. Ootch, he kill me." Smith stepped to the roDsa.

stilled the tumult and announced: "1 give the championship of the world to Mr, Ootch." A demonstration never eaualed at a wrestling match followed, and amid th nunaep et ne appiause totch wasxar rled te hla dressing room on the shou uers os ais nanaiers.
