 Many admirers of Tom Jenkins have come to his support with excuses for his defeat by Madrall. Some of them have written to the London Sporting Life to say that Madrau used unfair methods in beating the American. One communication, which seems to be a good defense for Jenkins, reads:
 Many opinions have been offered rel ative to Jenkins defeat by the Turk but the fact has been overlooked in the prevailing discussion that Jenkins was deliberately fouled. was on the stage and I could see that Madrau made many unfair moves during the match The rules of catch as catch can wrestl- ing are, of course, of very unsatis- factory nature, admitting almost of murderous forms of attack, but 1t Is generally understood that they should be governed by the discretion of the referee. Jenkins has been accused of kicking MadralI, and there is no deny ing that the Americans foot came in contact with the Turks face. As to whether the kicking was intentional do not know. If is was, he should re- tire from wrestling and devote himself to la savate, for it would take skill full exponent of the French method of self-defense to attack with success in the position in which Jenkins found himself when he is supposed to have done the kicking. MadralI repeatedly dragged Jenkins across the mat by his legs, and it was most natural for the lot Ea +a biV,Sa1F hold. In doing so he may, of course, have kicked Madrall, but it is putting too much value upon Jenkins ability as an acrobat to believe that it was aught but an accident.
 Accident, however, can scarcely be brought forward by Madrall, his back CTS or admirers as an excuse for the brutal methods which he indulged in when Jenkins was on the mat, and | which the referee, by reason of his be- l ing on his feet, could not see. There is, I believe, nothing in the catch as catch can rules to prevent man from burying his knucklas (made sharp by pickling) in his opponents stomach. al- | lowing his elbow to bear the full weight of his body on his opponent s spine and gouging his opponents stomach with | his toes; but it is hardly the game as we lkie to see 1t played in England. My l impression of the match was that Jen- kins lost as result of the unfair and unsportsmanlike methods of MT. Anto- nio Ferris protege."
 1 Dan Mcleod, the former catch as catch can champion, has retired from the wrestling game and is now engaged in the hotel business in Buffalo. Dan has a, nice place in the heart of the city and is said to be doing very we'll. Mcleod declares that there is no more money in the sport unless a man is away up in his class. Mcleod, when he retired, had fine record, but the youngsters, he admitted, were getting too speedy for him. In a recent inter- view Mcleod said:
 About the best man before the pub- lie now is Fred Beell of Wisconsin. He Is fellow who can go some on the mat and it will be some time before some one his weight is developed who can beat him. Beell has been thoroughly coached by Harvey Parker, who under stands everything about wrestling that is worth jtnowirlg. I look to Beell to hold the middleweight title for many years. He has youth and strength on | his side and, what is more, is clever
 In letter to The Sun, Harvey Park CT writes from Buffalo: Fred Beell and myself will be in Buffalo next week where we have engaged to meet all corners. We receive $500 for our ser vices, which is q tidy sum when it is considered that the other wresters do not get this sum in g. month. After Buffalo we go to Cincinnati. If any of those so-called wrestlers in New York have backing to the extent of $1,0OO in lreal money, just let them communicate with me. I will bet that sum that Beell can beat any of them. All want Is a twenty ring and a referee | who will let Beell wrestle."
