রেফারি হাত Beell কঠিন ক্ষতি

কর্মজীবনের প্রথম দিকে, ফ্রেড বেল গাস "আমেরিকাস" শোয়েনলেইনকে কুস্তি করেছিলেন 1904 এবং 1905. During the 1904 match, বেল একমাত্র পতন এবং ম্যাচ জিতেছে. শোয়েনলিন এই পরাজয়ের প্রতিশোধ নিতে চেয়েছিলেন. In May 1905, শোয়েনলেইনের ম্যানেজার বাল্টিমোরের শোয়েনলেইনের হোমটাউনে একটি রিম্যাচ নিশ্চিত করেছেন, Maryland.

শোয়েনলিন পাঁচ ফুট দাঁড়িয়েছিল, দশ ইঞ্চি লম্বা এবং ওজন 210 পাউন্ড. Beell usually faced a size disadvantage. Beell stood only five feet, six inches tall and weighed 170 পাউন্ড. Beell did have a powerful physique despite his lack of height.

Beell lost matches because of his size but never due to a lack of skill. Beell also worked matches occasionally based on financial considerations.

Beell wrestled Schoenlein in the Germania Maennchor Hall in Baltimore, Maryland. Fans filled two-thirds of the building meaning a crowd in the high hundred or low thousands.

Referee Harry Jeffries said all holds were allowed except for the stranglehold. Jeffries’ instructions factored into the result of the match.

Jeffries started the match on Thursday, মে 11, 1905, এ 9:40 <বিঘত bbox_x = "735" bbox_y = "2084" bbox_w = "24" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = ". The men wrestled for fifteen minutes without any controversy.

At the 15-minute mark, Beell secured a front face lock and cross-face on Schoenlein. “Americus” thrashed around. Beell cinched up on the hold tighter but the combination of perspiration and Schoenlein’s trashing caused the face lock to slide down to “Americus’s” neck.

Beell realized the hold was close to a guillotine choke or the stranglehold of Evan “Strangler: <বিঘত bbox_x = "745" bbox_y = "1211" bbox_w = "36" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "210" নীল = "31" আলফা = ". Beell quickly released the hold. <বিঘত bbox_x = "289" bbox_y = "724" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = ", referee Harry Jeffries reacted quicker and disqualified Beell for using a stranglehold.

A fan jumped onto the stage and tried to attack Beell but the Baltimore police officers stopped the fan. The police cleared the stage.

Beell’s second Harvey Parker, a well-known professional wrestler in his own right, jumped into the ring screaming at Jeffries. Parker told Jeffries that Beell released the hold as soon it slipped to Schoenlein’s neck. Parker asked Jeffries to reverse his decision.

Jeffries refused to reverse his decision. Parker asked the athletic commission if they intended to allow Jeffries to give a “hometown decision.” The commissioners told Parker they would only overrule an egregious decision. Parker sat down exasperated.

After a ten-minute rest, Jeffries started the second fall. Beell went for another face lock, but Jeffries separated them and warned Beell. Beell attempted a second face lock, but the referee again broke the wrestlers.

Jeffries interference with legitimate holds infuriated Beell who went for a vicious front face lock. Beell came close to another choke hold, but Jeffries broke up the attempt. Jeffries awarded the second fall and match to “Americus” at 8 <বিঘত bbox_x = "740" bbox_y = "1495" bbox_w = "50" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = ", 30 সেকেন্ডের.

About half of the fans jumped onto the mat to congratulate Schoenlein while the half sat motionlessly. The fans felt Jeffries ripped off Beell and did not take part in the celebration of “Americus’s” win.

Beell left the arena in disbelief. Beell and Schoenlein tied in their series one match a piece in their series. Schoenlein had a lot of help from the referee in his victory.
