The question of whether Haeken-
sehmidt sustained an injury in his
training previous to the match with
Gotch on Labor day sufficient to affect materially his chances was answered by Dr. Roller yesterday in the following mann": - "Admitted that 'Hark' may have suffered a" not unusual accident -during the course of his training, it under no ciriMvnstances was great enough to have prevented a really game man from maka far better showing than he made. "Knocks, bruises and slight strains are the regular thing rather than the exception during the preliminary work and -the Russian sustained no more than' the average. He certainly was not injured sufficiently to prevent his doing his best in a physical sense on the mat. "No, no, 'Hack' was beaten by what I predicted would best him. if he was.
and that was a lack of real gameness.

"THIS IS MY 42ND BIRTHDAY" Jamea K. Vtacltett.
James K. Hackett, the well known actor, was' born on Wolf Island, Ontario, September , 1S69, the son of John
Henry Hackett, one of the most celebrated actors of his time. The younger Hacket was educated in the public schools of New York and at the College
of the City of Mew York. In 1892 ho
made his stage debut, in Philadelphia,
as a member of VA. M. Palmer's com
pany. He first came to the prominent attention of fhe New York public In
the production of "Mme. Sans Gene. His rise In the profession after that time was remarkably rapid. Augustln Daly engaged him as leading man and later Charles Frohman starred him In "The Prisoner of Zenda," which was one of Mr. Hackett's most notable successes. Of late years he has devoted his energies largely to the management of other players. In New York he has
produced many "sdcceesful plays. Including "lion Caesar's Return." "The Crisis." "The Crown Prince,- "The House, of Silence," and "The Walls of Jericho.

HOOSIER RACES CALLED OFF; RAIN Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 6. Rain yesterday prevented the state fair harness
er of the Bresnahens, and for a time it
seemed the battle was to be a duel of the two star slabmen. However, Bob's wildness handed the locals a tally In the opening Inning, and to make up for this, Bob ran himself out of breath to '
tie me score in the fifth, stretching a base hit Into a double and scoring! from second when a single followed, j Before he could recover hia wind and!
poise, the Cubs fell upon him for two
runs, and the best the visitors could do after that was to push one man home
in a brisk ninth inning rally.

few instances it Jed to considerable argument. Jim O'Leary, who in his book had Gotch and the Russian run up to $50,000, followed the referee's decision and returned all wagers to their original makers. Among individuals, in some instances. Smith's "all bets off" was not observed and the losers paid. President . Comiskey of the White Sox was the real cause of the cancellation of all wagers. He was told so often that there was "something doing." that he became afraid that a scandal might result. He asked Chief McWeeny and some others to come to his office before the match started. The
party in the office consisted of Mc-1 Weeny, Comiskey, Inspector Harding,! Referee Ed Smith and others. Gotch
and his seconds and trainers entered
shortly afterward, but only to shake hands. ' ;

as the principals in the second fight of, importance In the heart of New York , City, under the Frawley law and at the final bell they were locked together,! still ripping and tearing with little advantage to either. . Minus the riotous scenes of the Wells-Brown battle, the meeting of the big black fellows furnished a terrible fight from start to finish and the six thousand men who thronged Madison Square Garden were in an uproar throughout. It was the greyhound against the bulldog. Jeannette, tall and rangy, fought his battle on the march, lashing out behind him with a snapping left hand at the round black head that followed him relentlessly about the ring. Langford, short and squatty, and as shiny as a seal, moved doggedly after his J agile opponent, using his short arms like clubs and swinging them with the expectation of a black Jack once he got within striking distance. The first rounds made it look but a question of time before Langford would knock his man out of the ringt but the long-armed Jeannette rallied even as he ran, and worked himself up on even terms. In the final round Langford swung and swung, bludgeoning Jeannette upon face and body, but the Hoboken boy
came back again when he looked about
done and, bleeding from nose and mouth and very tired, he threw all his energy- into one last stand that earned
him at the very least a draw. Langford was also worn out by his exertions. These two are old-time adversaries and a real duel was expected, but the fight they put up was beyond the hope of the most sanguine.
