boarded a freight train and came directly
TO this city. At his home tonight he said
that after emerging from the woods and
finding that he had eluded his pursuers

freight train approached. Then he said
he put large stone on the track COM
pelling the engine to stop. When he did
so McGovern climbed aboard and explained
his situation. He said he was recognized
by some of the train hands and they per-
mitted him to ride.

a hotel on Broadway. where he greeted
few friends Then he proceeded to his
home. AS he boarded a train at the
bridge a newsboy was selling papers con-

Atty Gen. H. A. Moody, at the request
OF the committee, has prepared ex-
naustive opinions on several points to

BADGER WRESTLER
TOO MUCH FOR PARR
English Champion IS Outclass.
ed-LOses the Match on
Strangle Hold

Jim Parr the English light heavyweight
champion wrestler was given the short
end of a small purse at Mozart hall last
night after he had repeatedly ignored the
warnings of Referee Frank Whitmore to
abstain from the use of strangle holds in
his match with Fred Beels, the Badger
wonder.
The first fall was won by Beels with a
half nelson after sixteen minutes of siren
uous work on the mat. in which the
Badger. showed much more cleverness
The second fall and the match went to
Bees IN foul after twenty six minutes
of fast wrestling.
Both men appeared to be in the pink

so he claimed, from the injury sustained
in his match with Rooney in Chicago last
Saturday night His work was brilliant at
times, but in comparison with that of his
smaller adversary he soon looked like an
also ran to the crowd.
BeeIs Sets Fast Pace
Beels. who is heralded as the champion
light heavyweight of America had com
pletely recovered from his experience Of
the strenuous life in his match with
Americas in Baltimore a few weeks ago
and his performance last night was prob
ably one of the best in his career as
mat artist. His speed and cleverness
made up for the difference in weight. and
at no time did his supporters have doubt
that anything but success was in store
for him. He slipped out of full and half
nelson's with the agility of an eel and
1OICcu the NIeSlllnB from start 10 HDlSn.
The match was straight rules, with pin
falls only to count and strange holds bar
red. Beels won the first fall in 16 min
utes "a seconds. He appeared to have
lost none of his strength when he stepped
onto the mat for the second fall, while
even the most casual onlooker could see
that PaTT was considerably weakened by
the pace set by his adversary In the pre-
ceding fall.
Uses Strange Hold
He appeared to be fighting against hope,
and after the bout had gone twenty-six
minutes, with no result, he resorted to
the use of the strange hold. Referee
Whitmore warned him twice to desist and
when he once more frightened his arms
across BeelS throat the match was called
off and the decision was rendered in the
Badgers favor
The match lasted AZ minutes AZ seconds
actual time
The preliminary match between Pearl
Smith and Billy Cyr, two Y. NJ. G. A.
athletes. was won by the former in two
straight falls. Smith was much heavier
that Cyr and at times seemed to forget
that the match was not for any cham
pionship title. and was really more violent
in his handling of the lighter wrestler
than the occasion called for Cyr was
game to the finish and was a great ia
Vorite throughout with the audience.
