Stanislaus Zbyszko defeats Wayne "Big" Munn for the World championship in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania when promoter Tony Stecher double crosses promoters Billy Sandow and Ed White. Zbyszko shoots on Munn to take the title. The referee, who was on the Sandow-White-Lewis payroll, is forced to count two falls after Zbyszko pins Munn several times in the match, just to keep the crowd from rioting. Munn remains recognized in some areas as champion.
