Meyers Retains Middleweight Title With New Stopper
Chicago December 6 Johnny Meyers, middleweight champion, strengthened his grip on the title after a display last night defeating John Kilonis of Norfolk in two falls. Meyers used a new move called the stopper, derived from the double wrist lock but applied to the opponent’s ankle. He won the first fall in 48:52, lost the second on a toe hold, and took the final fall with the stopper.
