Waterbury Democrat., 1901-11-05
DIVER MEANS BUSINESS.
He Has Posted One Hundred Dollars
 That He Will Defeat Kelly.

The balance of the $50 that Prof Dwyer will forfeit to John E. Kelly if he fails to throw him four times in one hour was posted at the Democrat office today. Besides this amount the professor deposited $1O0 in the same office which he will bet that he will accomplish the task of throwing Kelly four times in one hour. Anyone who desires to accept the bet can see the sporting editor of the Democrat, wbo is holding the stakes, and he will place his money for him. The match Will take place at the Auditorium on Thurs day evening and no doubt it will at- tract one of the biggest crowds that ever attended wrestling contest in this city. The prices are so low that everybody can go and not feel that he has been assessed too high.
 While talking about the big event that night, the preliminary must not be lost sight of, for this will be one of the fiercest battles that has taken place between two local boys in many years. Young Mccarthy of Brooklyn has been training faithfully under the i instruction of Prof Dwyer, and the professor says he is an apt pupil and will give a good account of himself on that night. Young Roach has also been training carefully under the in- struction of John E. Kelly and he, too, ! is fit as a fiddle. The Brooklyn Atn- 1etic club members win back McCar- thy to a man, while Roach and his friends, and he has many will be on deck to take chances on their man. ! The conditions of this match are as follows: If neither man secures rali in thirty minutes the match will be declared a draw. If one man secures a fall within the thirty minutes then the match must continue until finished or it is called off for lack of time. Prof Dwyer says that there will be fall within the thirty minutes, and so does John E. Kelly, and there you are.
 In the meantime Kelly's friends are fiocking to his standard and in all probability the $100 deposited in the Democrat office will be covered. It will be the greatest wrestling event that was ever held in New England without any mistake.

 Harvey Parker beat Jack McCor- mick at the Central Athletic club in Philadelphia Saturday night at catch as-catch-can. The men wrestled for an hour and thirteen minutes. Parker then put McCormick's shoulders to the mat with a hatch hold, combination of the half Nelson and hammerlock. Mccormick claimed that he was not fairly thrown and left the ring. refns- ing to continue longer, when Referee Billy Irvine said the fall was Parker's. The referee thereupon gave the match to Parker. There was small attend ance. Mccormick weighed about sfx- ty pounds more than Parker and was very fat. He took the offensive ar the start. and went roughly at Parker, us- ing boxing as well as wrestling tactics. Parker was wary, and for a time de voted himself to keeping out of Nc Cornick's way. When the fat fellow began to tire q little Parker went at him like bulldog. and from that mo- ment Mccormick knew not what pleas ure was. Harvey kept working at Me- Cormicks stomach, and soon had the big fellow blowing like porpoise At the end of thirty-five minutes Parker got Mccormick with a bad crotch hold, and throwing the big fellows feet into the air, he had Mccormick standing on his head. He kept him there for five minutes. and it seemed as though Me- Cormicks head would burst under the terrible strain. He finally executed q head spin. however, and got out of trouble, the crowd cheering bis good work. At the end of forty-seTen min- utes Parker again got his man in the same position. and held him there four minutes. Mccormick managed to twist to one side. rolled out of danger and all Haryey's work was for nothing. Finally Parker got the hold he wanted, and i'm fhn of 4hn ho match went to him.
