World Graeco-Roman Championship Tournament: Final Day
Promoter: Heinrich Neimann
Circus Busch, Hamburg, Germany
Referee: Peters
1 - Dirk van den Berg def. Heinrich Winzer
2 - George Hackenschmidt def. Heinrich Eberle
Notes:
This tournament finishes today. It started on January 1, 1901.
No placement for the World Heavyweight Graeco-Roman Championship Tournament.
Eberle gave up against Hackenschmidt. He declared himself defeated due to illness. Up until this point he was a top star in Germany. Those in attendance were stunned and could not understand the decision. They shouted "Fraud" and demanded their money back. Riots broke out at the circus and the police had trouble in restoring order. It was not the first time there had been trouble during the tournament and the police banned it from finishing. All the shows were cancelled and that is why there is no placement for the heavyweight class. Often people wrongfully claim this as Hackenschmidt's first World Heavyweight Graeco-Roman Championship Tournament victory.

World Graeco-Roman Championship Tournament: Final Day
Promoter: Heinrich Neimann
Circus Busch, Hamburg, Germany
Referee: Peters
1 - Dirk van den Berg def. Heinrich Winzer
2 - George Hackenschmidt def. Heinrich Eberle
Notes:
This tournament finishes today. It started on January 1, 1901.
No placement for the World Heavyweight Graeco-Roman Championship Tournament.
Eberle gave up against Hackenschmidt. He declared himself defeated due to illness. Up until this point he was a top star in Germany. Those in attendance were stunned and could not understand the decision. They shouted "Fraud" and demanded their money back. Riots broke out at the circus and the police had trouble in restoring order. It was not the first time there had been trouble during the tournament and the police banned it from finishing. All the shows were cancelled and that is why there is no placement for the heavyweight class. Often people wrongfully claim this as Hackenschmidt's first World Heavyweight Graeco-Roman Championship Tournament victory.

H. H. Latham is the chairman of the entertainment committee of the Chicago Athletic Association.
In an early article talking of this event it is said the Empire Athletic Club would be co-promoting, but they were never mentioned after that singular article as promoters.
Dr. B. F. Roller got the first refusal at Gotch. Roller was unable to make it though.
Hakenschmidt is said to have cancelled other engagements in order to be at the show for his manager, Jack Curley who is from Chicago.
Plestina is listed as the Persian Champion and also to be the protege of Cutler.
Pons is listed as the French Champion.
Habek is said to be a recent arrival to America.
Postl is said to be returning to the mat.
Henry Ordeman was said probable to make an appearance.
Even more matches are to be announced (as of January 13, 1911), it's said more wrestlers than can realistically be utilized have offered their services for this cause.
Gotch had to receive the final match on the card due to wrestling elsewhere earlier in the night.

"HACK AND WAFFLES ON THE MAT
Russian Lion Throws Opponent in a Short Time with Hard Work.
FINE EXHIBITION BY TWO MEN
Waffles, new Man on Local Pad, but Made Wonderful Showing During Short Time Hack Allow Him to Remain on Feet."
It was said to have been the best match in Omaha so far this year, with real wrestling from start to finish.
Both men said to have weighed around 200lbs.
Hackenschmidt had a train to catch and therefore part of the interest in the match was whether he could gain the required falls before his train left. He was successful.
