Jenkins’ 和Beell的闭门比赛

汤姆·詹金斯是唯一一位多次击败弗兰克·戈奇的摔跤手. 詹金斯和戈奇交易 美国重量级摔跤锦标赛 between 1902 和 1906. 这场比赛当时, 詹金斯再次获得冠军.

Fred Beell had been campaigning for a match with Jenkins for months. 贝尔最终说服詹金斯与他会面，但比赛的方式却不是他想象的那样.

An exceptionally talented but small heavyweight Beell defeated good wrestlers, but they were just under the level of Gotch and Jenkins. 战胜詹金斯将使贝尔更上一层楼.

贝尔最大的弱点, 尽管他的体格强大, was Beell stood only five feet four inches, 称重 165 英镑. Jenkins was similarly muscled but stood five feet, 十英寸高，重十英寸 210 英镑.

而不是在竞技场上进行比赛, 贝尔所期望的, 男子在纽约市的一家体育馆摔跤. 100 贵宾和运动员付费观看私人比赛. 这场比赛三胜二负 $1,000.00 在旁边.

Beell participated in worked matches, but this match was a contest. 这场比赛考验了两人的体力和耐力.

男人们在垫子上摔跤, 紧靠体育馆的墙壁. 后 2 几个小时的摔跤对任何人都没有优势, 詹金斯锁定了半纳尔逊，因为两人都在墙角附近.

詹金斯努力改变贝尔, 当贝尔能够逆转出半尼尔森时. 詹金斯暂时失去平衡，贝尔用头和手臂将詹金斯扔了出去. Beell scored the first fall shocking Jenkins.

快速的摔倒迫使詹金斯摆脱了昏昏欲睡的状态. 詹金斯抓住较小的贝尔，把他的身体沿着垫子扔到墙上. Beell landed on his head. The impact knocked Beell senseless. 詹金斯（Jenkins）抓住了半尼尔森（Nelson）并在第二次摔倒时转身贝尔（Beell） 1 minute, 13 秒.

尽管贝尔明显脑震荡，但他拒绝退出. 裁判重新开始比赛后，詹金斯仁慈地猛击了贝尔，不到一分钟就将贝尔压倒了. Jenkins could have roughed up Beell, but Jenkins did not have any animosity towards Beell despite all the public challenges.

Tom Jenkins lost the title back to Gotch months later and went into semi-retirement. The U.S. 陆军西点军校任命詹金斯为体育和自卫教师. 詹金斯在上任后偶尔会摔跤.

贝尔继续摔跤直到 1919. Frank Gotch was in Beell’s future in a result that surprised fans and newspaper reporters.
