Omaha heavy weight wrestler and Joe Stehcer of Dodge, Neh., former world's champion, lost little time in hurling c h a 1 - lpnges r I g h t smack Into the face of Wayne (Hlgl Munn. new worlds mat title holder. Munn, let It he known far and wide, won the world's wrestling championship In a Kansas City, Mo., ting last night when he won two of three falls from "Stran gler" Lewis. The new champion played on the football team at Nebraska in 1917 and was initiated into the art of. eateh-as-eatrh can while a member of the lluskor wrestling teams sev . eral years ago. Minin's record in. collegiate circles was never marred by a defeat. In addition to Ills participation in wrestling, Munn also threw the shot on the track squad, and, with his brother, Monte, formed the lindens of a Nebraska football line in 1917 tiiat averages around 200 pounds. Shortly after graduating from Nebraska, Munn signed up with (iene Melady and started on a career as a fighter. IIp was a "bust" as a fighter. His entry into the mat game was more successful and his record shows a continuous, rise to the championship bout with Lewis. Munn won the first fall from Lewis in 21 minutes with a body and crotch hold. The '‘Strangler" lay stunned on the floor of the ring and it was five minutes before he could be as sisted to his feet. The climax came after two minutes of wrestling for the aeeond fall when Munn, twisting free from a headlock, lifted Lewis high in the air with a body and crotch hold. ,H happened near the ropes and Lewis broke loose and fell to the cement floor. Leu is was borne to iifa dressing room and it was lu minutes before he returned. The referee of the match declared Munn had fouled Lewis and ga\e the second fall to the "Stran gler." I s' w is. bandaged, came hack for the third ami deciding fall. The men clinched, but Lewis offeced lit tle opposition. .Munn clamped a body and crotch hold and hurled his mail to the mat. Lewis, accord ing to the reports, lay prone and a new champion had been crowned. In a telegram to the writer this morning Munn aaid: "1 had jast got a crotch hold and half-Nelson on lewis, which I had been working for all evening. I had lifted Lewis over my head to throw him to the mat when he broke the hold in us ing Itis left arm, pushed- himself out of my arms and out of the ring. I don't think that anyone who knows me would believe I would at tempt a deliberate foul or try to throw an opponent on a cement lloor." Lewis Is In a Kansas City hos pital vs it li probably a fractured ver tebrae at tile base of the spine, ac cording to reports. The "Strangler" held the title for Ihree years. He won the champion ship from Stanislaus /.byuko. Munn is a likeable chap of 27 sum ntrrs. He stands six feet, six Inches in his stocking feet and weighs pounds.
