HOW PARKER LOST.

New York, June 23.-That Harvey Parker is shrewd man when it comes to wrestling no one will deny. after the way lie got Fred Beel of Marshfield, Wisconsin, metropolitan endorse ment. Beell was comparatively an un known quantity in this city. Very few persons identified with the sport hereabouts had heard much about him and consequently they were prepared to see Onesided contest when Beell met Jenkins. But evidently they had not bargained on their host, for Beell not only made an exceptionally fine showing, but came so near beating Jen- kins that the latter's packers were trifie worried.
 Those who were present at the con test will not forget the event in hur- ". It was great struggle between q good little man and a clever big man. Beell went against Jenkins at odds that would have unnerved the gamIest. In the first place, Beell was wrestling in a strange city for the first time and under conditions not really conductive to excellent wrestling. The two met in Billy Elmer's gymnasium on an ele- vated ring about F feet square. The ropes were not taut enough to hold the men in check when the rushed to the edge of the mat and more than once the principals were hurled through the ropes on top of the specta- tors. Once or twice Jenkins came pretty near cracking his cranium or otherwise suffering a severe injury. He bruised his back against the side of the ring, which was only protected from the hard wall by rubber mat.
 The Beell-Jenkins match was the first of it's kind in the annals or the sport, according to those who know their wrestling from a to izzard. Here were two men who met to finish in private for a stake of $1,00O furnished by the packers of the two. There was no admission charged, only friends Of the contestants being permitted to at tend. That the men would have to wrestle strictly according to the honest ethics of the sport, there was no gam saying. But that they would rough it in such a way and risk their necks and heads in the fashion they did just to satisfy those who had hazarded their money on them was not expected.
 Beell, with the worst of 1t in weight by at least thirty pounds, went after Jenkins as though the lauer was aoout his own size Beell buffeted Jenkins about, sprung some tricks that the ola- est wrestling patron cannot recall as ever having been seen on the mat be- fore and was as unconcerned and con fldent of winning as If nothing save glory was attached 10 the outcome. Beell resembles George Hacken- schmidt very much in build and size. although he lacks the power and mus cular development of the noted Rus sian. He has a pair of sturdy broad shoulders, finely chisled legs and pos eesses great strength and endurance. He is an aggressive little man. never missing an opening to get hold and always on the alert
 Beell has a great ruse in bring a man down with an arm hold. He capsized Jenkins twice with this trick. and ac- complished 1t so quickly and deftly that Jenkins himself cannot tell how 1t was really done. Beell and Jenkins were fiddling for some sort of hold when the former danced aside and pushed back his hair which was dang IIuK HIS - Ct- 9t4hAl5 EN.tt WAN-- his arms hanging by his side for sec ond. waiting for Beell to begin opera tons again. but Beell continued to feel his hair. Jenkins then thrust both his arms forward and quick as a flash BeeIl grabbed Jenkins by the elbow and pulled his opponent toward him Jenkins was taken off his guard and stumbled Before he could recover his eouiIibrum Beell shot out his right foot and ripped Jenkins. the latter going to the boards on all fours- Beell tried to bounce upon Jenkins but the latter cid on hie hands toward the ropes and rueained his feet before Beell couh net on top
