HIS MATCH WITH HARVEY PARKER.

fouls, he contented himself with a mild
caution to Parker. l got several good
holds on Parker, and would have thrown
him had the rules been enforced, but j.
is impossible to pin man down at
Graeco- Roman when he is PERMITTED to
defend himself according to catch-as-
catch-can rules.
The only agreement regarding the
bout was that we should have rest o.
ten minutes after wrestling one hour
without fall. When the hour was up
l went to my dressing room for the ten
minutes rest. Observing that there
seemed to be general disposition to
make a victim of me. and having some
fears about my end of the purse. l asked
that b. H. Benton. the manager of the
bout be sent for. was informed that
Benton had skipped out with the cash
an hour previously. and to this minute
l have not received one cent of the pro-
ceeis of that match. There was very
large house. and as Parker Benton and
myself were to receive one-third each of
the profits my share would have been
considerable.

Claims He Was Jobbed and That He
Got No Money-Says His Life Was
Threatened by Martin Walsh
Declares Result Was
Not Prearranged.

(From the New York Telegraph.)
Ernest Roeber who has been rather
conspicuous in the wrestling world the
last fey days as the result of an al
legged fake bout with Harvey Parker
in Boston, arrived in New York yester-
day afternoon. The Graeco- Roman
champion was in an exceedingly indig
nant frame of mind.
Il have been the victim of many a
bunco game,' said he, 'ibut never in my
career as a wrestler have l been so de-
frauded abused and maltreated as l was
by that Boston gang.
mot only was l financially robbed
but was cheated on the wrestling pad
and threatened with bodily harm, both
in and out of the ring. l have been
maliciously misquoted and set before the
public as a self confessed crook. l have
been quoted as making an admission
that my bout with Parker was a pre-
arranged fake. This is lie out of whole
cloth. I never made any such confess
sion.
1.-THE contest between Parker and my
self was arranged for in good faith by
myself. and would have been carried out
to definite conclusion had I not seen
early IN tne game tildt was TIE VIC
tim of a detestable scheme. One of the
men who sat in my corner before the
bout began was Martin Walsh. who car
ried a revolver in the pocket of his coat.
Calling attention to the weapon, he said.
"'You big Dutch stiff, if you throw
that man (meaning Parker), I'll blow the
top of your head Off
II paid no attention to Walsh and
started the bout, which was Graeco-
Roman style.
Under those conditions contestants
cannot take hold below the waist.
Parker continually grasped me by the
legs, and when I called the attention

GENERAL SPORTING GOSSIP

There Is every indication that the
meeting Of the Ontario Jockey club this
sprng will be the most successful in
the history Of that organization. Sec
rotary w. r. Frazer has arranged an
attractive programme and the club has
literally increased the added money to
all the events.
In the list are several stakes open to
horses owned in the United States, and
il is probable that there will be liberal
entry from this side of the border. A
large number of New York horsemen
intend to race in Canada this year. and
these will begin the campaign a:
Toronto. where the meeting begins
Thursday, May 90. The meeting will
continue nine days. ending on Saturday.

Onwers Of 2-year-olds. will find four
events worthy of consideration. They
are the Woodbine Nursery stakes. with
$7e0 added; Hopeful stakes. for FLIES,
with $500 added: Juvenile purse. of $500.
and Tyro purse handicap. of $500.
For 3-year-olds there are the Wood
stock stakes, 81 200 added, and Fashion
purse for fillies of $500. &c
Alfred S. Post will be judge, Francis

be in charge of F. III. Haskns & Co.,
ana will be open to all reputable book
makers. The entries closed yesterday.
Charles F. Mathison the we'll known
sporting writer in commenting on Daniel
Dougherty the sparring partner Of Terry
McGovern has this to say.
He claims to be the bantam champion
through the medium of gift from Nc
Govern. OF course. he could not hold a
gift championship for second: but in
view of his claims, his performance last
Tuesday night was interesting. He
fought ten rounds with Kid McFadden.
a young ster who has no possible claim
to championship f,onors. In the tenth
round Dougherty was disqualified for
fouling. Any boxer who cannot outpoint
Kid MeFadden in ten rounds has abund-
ance of nerve" to claim the bantam
championship. Dougherty will do we'll to
