KW YORK. .Inn. 9
The sensational
victory of Wayne
(Big) Munn, fnr
m e r Nebraska
football star, over
Kd (Strangler Lew
is at Kansas City
last night in a
dramatic struggle
for the world’s
mi roiling championship may mark
the final breaking up of the so-called
“wrestling trust," which has ruled the
mat game since its postwar revival.
Munn, a 260-pound giant, has been
familiar to football fans as a former
stnr on the University of Nebraska
eleven, but outside of the iniddleweat
Ills wrestling activities were unknown.
Ills match, with I .owls was unherald
ed, in fact, and the way in which this
youthful novice toyed with the veter
an “strangler,” handling him so
roughly that lie was sent to a hospital
after the match, startled wrestling
eircles everywhere today.
The "trust,” which Lewie has
dominated for the last few years, also
Included .Toe Stecher, Earl Caddock
nnd Stanislaus Zbyszko. all of whom
at various times have held the world's
catch-as-catch-can crown. They have
stood over most rivals in the mat
sport since the retirement of Frapk
Gotch as title holder In 1911. Wladek
Zbyszko also has often been included
in this list, and now Is recognized as
world champion at the Graceo-Roman
style.
Caddock, "the man of a thousand
holds,” and Stecher have retired from
active competition, but Irewis has
kept) up a busy schedule. Ktanuslaus
Zbyszko, Polish grappler, who was a
star in the days of Gotrh and Hacken
sclinildt, the famous “Russian lion,”
recently returned to thia country to
•tteempt a comeback.
Stecher won the title In a tourna
ment here in 1919, in which Caddock.
Lewis anil Wladek Zbyszko were the
other entrants. He lost It In Decem
ber, 1920, however, to Lewis, who
lias reigned ever since except for u
10 months' Interval, during which
Stanislaus Zbyszko was at the top.
Zbyszko dethroned Lewis on May 16.
1921, but lost to the "strangler'' in a
return title match on March 3. 1922.
Since then most of Lewis' matches
^ have been of the barnstorming type,
where little-known opponents have
been comparatively easy victims for
his famous headlock, until Munn's
exhibition of strength proved the
champion's undoing.

KVV YORK, .Ian. 9.—Ed
die (Cannonball) Mar
tin, recently crowned
world's bantamweight
champion, faces possi
ble suspension by the
New York State Ath
lete) commission as a
result of his unsatis
factory match with Au
gie I'isano in Brooklyn
Wednesday night.
Tlie referee’s report
of the match, received
by the commission to
day, declared the match halted in the
third round because the men wert not
trying, and officially declared it "no
contest.” <
The purses of the two boxers have
been held up and Martin's status re
mains in doubt until the boxing au
thorities meet Tuesday to pass upon
Ills case.
In the event he draws a suspension
at the hands of the commission, Mar
tin's journey to California, where it
is reported to have signed to partici
pate in at least two title matches,
likely will he postponed owing to
a working agreement understood to
exist'between the new California box
ing commission and the New York
state commissioners whereby ruling
made by either commission will b# rec
ogniztd by the other.
Ban Skilling, secretary of tlie com
mission, refused today to make pub
lic the referee's official report of the
fight other than to say it waa offi
cially declared "no contest.’*
While it Is known tha members of
the boxing commission ars invaria
bly strongly opposed to the practice
of "stalling" in matches and almost
invariably hand out long suspensions
to boxers involved in such proceed
ings, it was felt In boxing circles that
Martin may escape with a reprimand
or mild discipline In view of his good
record in the past.

TOMMY GIBBONS
KAYOES BURKE
Grand Haplds, Mich., Jan. 8.—
Tommy Gibbons, St. Paul light*
heavyweight, defeated Jack Burke of
Pittsburgh in the sixth round of their
scheduled 10 round no decision fight
here tonight.
The referee stopped the fight In the
sixth round, awarding Gibbons a
technical knockout.
Gibbons won in every round, driv
ing blows with left and right to face
and body that soon wore down the
Pittsburgh boxer. So relentless was
Gibbons' attack that Burke appeared
on the verge of being knocked out
in the second round and from then
on it appeared only a question of how
long ho could withstand the punish
ment he was receiving.
With Burke hopelessly beaten, un
able to maintain a defense, the ref
eree stopped the fight in the middle
if the sixth round.
Burke weighed 178 1*2 pounds and
Gibbons, 179.
