 Harvey Parker and Henry Swank broke all wrestling records in Wor-
 cester Tuesday night in K. of c. hall. They went two hours and 30 minutes without either securing fall. A draw was declared with the
 consent of the wrestlers, and to the
 satisfaction of the spectators.
 For the first seven minutes the
 men were on their feet. At the end
 of that time Parker got Swank to the mat and for two hours and 43 min utes he worked over Swank. Not once during the entire time did Swank get behind Parker. The lat ter was the aggressor all the time, and Swank was kept to the defense. It was the toughest and most rug
 ged contest Worcester folks ever
 saw. The contest got so long drawn
 out that many of the spectators got l>a-bit tired, but they were unanimous
 in declaring 1t hard fought and
 even struggle. The match was ar
 ranged by the Mizpah Athletic club,
 two falls in three, at catchas-catch-
 can. Both men were so tired at the
 end that each was willing to quit
 and call it draw. Parker explain
 ed to the spectators that he had
 wrestled Monday night in Washing
 ton, the match ending at midnight.
 and came to Worcester by train trav-
 cling several hundred miles, and
 wrestling a hard contest before
 meeting Swank. He said he would
 like to meet Swank again, and
 Swank in turn declared he would like another contest with Parker.

The Russian fioored the German in five minutes and twenty-four seconds; Darschu in three minutes and forty five seconds, and Paulsen in five min utes and nine seconds. Hacken- schmidt used bar and neck holds to secure a fall in every case and show ed wonderful speed. ~a
 Cord Dereli, the wrestler, has evil dently got Hackenschmidt's goat. The Russian Lion" has not to date shown the least inclination to accept the challenge issued recently wherein Cord Dereli offers to bet from S1,000 to $5,000 that he can throw Hack and Frank Gotch on the same mat, the same night, with but ten min utes' intermission. Dereli is ex- perts say, the greatest wrestler in the world and Hackenschmidt evil dently is in no great hurry to meet him. Cord Dereli cabled that he is ready to start at once for the United States if Hackenschmidt posts for felt for match.
 Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion, made short work of two wrestlers at Boston Tuesday night. In three min utes of Graeco-Roman he put An vrey. 300 pounds, to the mat, and at catch-as-catch-can gained fall from Perelli. the Italian champion, in four and half minutes. Hjalmar Lundin, of Hartford. the Swedish wrestler, was to have met Hack, but blood poisoning in a wound he re- ceived in a recent match with Gotch prevented.
