MICHIGAN CITY, Ind , May 30. Ed (Strangler) Lewis,
won the disputed heavyweight wrestling championship from
Wayne "Big" Munn, of Kansas City, here this evening in a
terrifically contested match, two falls out of three.
The deadly headlock served Lewis again. He took the
last two falls with this hold.
Munn got away to a flying start by throwing Lewis with
his famous crotch hold, in 24 minutes, 55 seconds.
Lewis came back and took the second fall with his head
lock in 32 minutes 12 seconds.
Following the 15-minute rest period, Lewis, the fresher
of the two, leaped on the rapidly tiring former football player,
and in six minutes and 11 seconds had his shoulders to the
mat for the winning fall.
Approximately 11,000 fans, many of Ihem women, watch
ed the battle of giants in the sky-blue arena.
There was considerable bickering ; : '
when Munn took tho first fall and
he announced ho would not re-enter
the ring until Lewis ana his man
ager produced the dlumond stud
ded felt, emblematic of the cham
ulonahlp and placed It in tho hands
of promoter Floyd FitzsimmonsV
A few moments elapsed while the
wrangling went on nnd "'en the
belt was produocd. The match was
resumed nnd Lewis leaped' to bis
work with the fierceness of a fam
ished tiger. Ho still remembered
how Munn had picked him up bod
ily and thrown him from the ring
and to defeat at Kansas City, sev
eral months ago.
Slapping on headlock after liend
lork until Munn was too dizzy to
more than wobble, Lewis evened the
match.
The shadows were beginning to
slant over the sand dunes when
Lewis tasted revenge by again ap
plying the final headlock.
Tho crowd yelled Itself hoarao
when tho rcforeo slapped Lewis
on tho back to denoto tho winner.
Lewis now claims the champion
ship but It Is also claimed by Stan
islaus Zbyszko, the ancient Pole,
who defeated Munn in the enst sev
eral weeks ago.
Tho gato receipts were estimated
at 50,000. The winner to got 60
per cent and tho loser 40 per cent
of tho gato oftor certain deduc
tions aro mado. It Is hcllovcd
Lewis and Munn will share $30,000.

,A battle to the finish i3 expected at the fair grounds this
afternoon where Weed and Klamath Falls meet for the first
time in the Klamath-Siskiyou league.' It is a peculiar situation.
Here is Klamath Falls' with its baseball reputation to
make. One won and one lost is how they stand. They don't
feel that they can afford to go down to the .333 percentage
rating. '
An on the other hand. Here is Weed," a town that has
supported its team perhaps better than any other on the cir
cuit. The Weedites have got off to a bad start. They have
lost their first two games. They've just got to win if they
want to keep the confidence of their supporters. So there
you aj-e. Both teams have j'ust got to win, and one must lose.
Both teams are taking every pre
caution, and are not sacrificing one
might of strategy. Glover and
Cook hare shifted the Pelican line
up and batting order around until
they believe they have it at the
peak of its efficiency. Bert Ar
nold who has been showing np like
a veteran at first base Is going to
hold that bag dowa tomorrow. Tho
outfield has been bolstered in order
to get tho maximum of bitting and .
fielding efficiency. There will be
Clarke, Noel and Mahhews ln the
outfield. They are three sluggers
and an efficiency trio of fielders.
The best to he had will be pnt
in the battery. ' "Sunny" Mohler
Is praying for a warm day that h
might ooze them in in the masterly
way be did against Mt. Shasta. And
Mickey Demitt will be back behind
the bat A wonderful combination
those hoys. The . tafiela will' re
main intact with the exception of
Arnold on first as before montlon-
ed. "Red" Watts is expected to
play his old reliable game on sec- i
ond. Bayncss will undoubtedly play
his usual flash game at third. Bay
ness has been weak with the stick
thla season, hut that can't last for
ever. It may be today that little
"French" comes across with a cou
ple of timely socks. And last but
not least there is little Al Norwest.
who can always bo depended upon
to play a tight game, both on tho
field and with the stick.
But how nbnnt the Weeds?
They've Just got to win, and they're
going out with that intention. An
indication that they are wasting
no handicaps to win is the fact
that they all came in early last
night and stopped in Klamath Falls
hotels In order that they might
be in the pink of trim. Three hun
dred Weed rooters will be on tap.
Dope It out it you can. But it
looks about like a toss np, the win-
ST. LOUIS, May 30 Joe
St etcher, former champion
