1t is my honest belief that Fred
Beells of Marshtield, Wis, is the best
American wrestler of today" said
Charley Wittmer of CINCINNATI who was
defeated at Detroit by Beells Il think
that he can beat Tom jenkins, the Amor
lean champion, or Frank Gotch with
ease. L have met both Jenkins and
Gotch and know their strong points. but
Beells, | think, has an advantage over
them. Beells only weighs about 100 or
10 pounds, While Jenkins weight is POO
pounds. The only man that can win
from Beels, in my estimation, is Hacken-
schmitt, the Russian Lion" and all that
would give him victory Is his powerful
build. Beells is extremely clever, and
could give the Russian Il run for his
money"
