has laid claim to the heavyweightt

for thinking so. 1
Although Zbyslko’s claim will not‘
receive much attention among wrest'
ling experts and sporting men in gen-‘
eral because the two recogailed lead~
ear in the heavyweight division. Earl
Caddock and Joe Stetcher, must be
taken into consideration when the
championshiu is involved. his manav- '
Ker and the promo’era of the recent
tourney point to the fact that Zbys-V
zko'has received a championship belt
for beating Lewis, and will be limited
as the catch-as-Catchcan title holder
in all tourn.:tnents staged in the. fu-
ture. ‘ 5
