The article charged Ed Lewis with purchasing the heavyweight wrestling title from Joe Steelier for $25,000. It also alleges Lewis “gave" the title to Wayne Munn. former Nebraska University football star, on instructions of the wrestling syndicate, and "as per program, Lewis took it back."

Title Scrap Tonight Has Many Angles Speculation Rife as to Winner of Latzo, Dundee Mix-Up. By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, June 3.—Pete Latzo and Joe Dundee, when they meet at the Tolo Grounds tonight for ths world welterweight championship, will give the experts another chance to go wrong. Fro#i the way the betting Is going about o'ie-half of the fans will tag the wrong man as the winner, because no championship fight in recent years has had so many angles to figure. Despite the fact Dundee is lantern, jawed, supposed to be a fatal physical deficiency for a fighter and regardless of the fact his jaw looked glassy on several occasions Mfhen Eddie Roberts was throwing punches at it, Dundee ought to be stronger at the weight than and endowed better to go fifteen rounds than the champion. Latzo is supposed to have a mors powerful single punch than ths Baltimore challenger, but it is to be doubted that Dundee can be kept on the floor with one punch. Durtdee, on the other hand, while he has no reputation as a killer, has a more devastating punch than Latzo. He's a chopping puncher like Tunney and in a fifteen-round fight, if he can keep his long jaw out of the way, ought to have the advantage. has been meeting difficulties in the weather toward finishing the school title play. The matches have bten held over Coffin and Pleasant Run courses. Ho promises he will have most of the players and all the good ones in The Times interscholastic invitational, at South Grove course June 8,9, 10 and 11.
