Baptiste wrestled his most famous opponent, World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Georg Hackenschmidt, v St. Louis during 1905. Hackenschmidt dominated the 42-year-old Baptiste.
I did mention Hackenschmidt’s training manual and autobiography, How to Live in Health and Strength (partnerský odkaz). At least the last half of the book is Hackenschmidt’s life story. “Kopnutie” talks about the match with Baptiste in St. Louis.
Baptiste had two tumultuous marriages before find happiness near the end of his life.
Baptise died of stomach cancer at 74 years of age on December 1, 1938. Baptiste left an estate valued at $200,000. His brothers and nephew contested the will but the judge ruled in favor of Baptiste’s new wife and niece.
