Stan Got First.
Conch Schmidt called attention
20 the match for the championship
between Lewis and Stan Zbyszko
at wichita about three or four
months ago, In which Lewis re-
gained tho championship from the
Pole. This match was very similar
to the Lewis Blnckley struggle FRI
day night. zbyszko seemed to out
class the Stranger in the early
stages. He kept Lewis continually
on the defensive and had him In
one tight place after another.
Finally Xbyszko triumphed In the
first fall. winning ~ after something
moro than an hour. Then Lewis got
the deadlock 90 working and dazed
libby when he threw him heavily
TO the mat to win the second fall.
In the third fall tho veteran was
easy. just as Blnckley was Friday
night. Ard IN this connection Il
must be remembered that at the
time Of this match Lewis was not
champlon-that he won the title by
beating Zbyszko--beatihg him IN the
last two fails after losing the first.
Both Lewis and Buckley have
hard matches coming up next week,
Lewis will leave Tulsa tonight for
Boston where on next Thursday
night. June 8. he will defend his
title against Sergeant Earl Caddock

Buckley expects to have his hands

SunNower farmer who stands four
inches above tho six-foot mark and
runs the scales up to tho 240-pound
