 The wrestling bout between Harvey Parker, the Yankee Wonder" and Carl Jensen of Brooklyn at Miners Bowery theater last night was ''rough-house" affair, and but for its unexpected termination there is no telling what might have happened. When Parker offered S25 to any one whom he failed to throw in fifteen minutes. Jensen who is a Swede and quite powerful, accepted. Very little was known about Jensen up to his ap- pearance last night and it was freely rumored among the sports that he was some kind of a ringer" This, coupled with the fact that Parker at best is only a lightweight, added lot of interest to the match and there was plenty of speculation as to the result.
 When Jensen came on the stage in company with his manager, Nick Bt- liott, also a wrestler, there was heated argument regarding the condi- tions of the contest. Elliott said he would not let Jensen wrestle otherwise than Graeco-Roman style. Johnny Dunn on behalf of Parker cOntended that the agreement called for catch as-catch-can. Dunn only gave in when he realized that Nick was in earnest. The wrestlers went at each other fiercely. Jensen insisted on getting off the mat and Parker was nettled. He rushed and the two houndered all over the stage, pumping into the scenery, smashing the foot lights and backing toward the boxes.
 After twenty minutes of these tao tics Parker got a light hold, but Jen- sen wriggled away, with Parker in hot pursuit. Jensen, who was apparently trying to kill time, acted on the de fensive. Then Parker exerted all his strength. He grabbed Jensen around the neck, and the latter in order to save himself nibbled at Harvey's legs. This was a direct violation of the agreement and the trouble began.
 Parker lost his head and tugged away at Jensen in rough catch-as- over the mat and into the entrance while the crowd yelled tsFouIr' Jen- sens seconds became excited. Elliott made some remark to Dunn and JiIn- my French the special officer of the. theater was summoned and Elliott was hustled out of the place. Elliott of course, wanted to stay and a hot. row ensued before he yielded.
 Meanwhile the wrestlers were hGv- ing it hot and heavy. Both got their heads tangled with the scenery and in the mix-up Jensen got a severe cut over the eye. His efforts had weak ened him, and after a hard s->rimmage Parker secured half Nelson and turn ed his opponent on his back. Excite ment ran high, but when quiet was restored Parker was declared the win ner. The time of the bout was z minutes and 34 seconds. The manage ment had to ring down the curtain in order to avoid further trouble.
 Ernest Roeber has retired from the wrestling pad, and he made the an- nouncement in response to a challenge to meet Nachad,. the latest Turkish wrestling phenomenon to arrive in America. Roeber was assured that Nachad was rot nearly so large as Nouroulah, Pons or YOusouf, the former standing but six feet and weighing 21O pounds. Roeber thought Nachad was quite large enough, and expressed the opinion that it was inn possible for a white man to make any headway against these Turks. It is not improbable Nachad will 20 to Cleveland and meet Jenkins.
 Harvey Parker will evidently De kept busy this winter, for yesterday he clinched two matches. His first meeting will be with Emil Silver, husky heavyweight at Paterson on October 31. The two are to clash at Graeco-Roman style, best two out of three falls to count. On November 2, at Philadelphia, Parker has made ar- engagements to tackle Jack Mccormick in the event of the latter beating George Bothner, whom he is to face in New York next Monday night. In. the event of a victory perching on BOthner's banner Parker will take him on instead and the fray will be held on later date.
