PENNY BANNER VERSUS LORRAINE JOHNSON PENNY BANNER VS. REFEREE LOISELLE FELIX KOHNKE VERSUS CLAIR ROBINSON Dr. Jekyll Or A Mr. Hyde Is Buddy By PETER PHILLIPPE Citizen Sports Editor Buddy Knox is an ardent a fisherman as you might find. But, it's wrestling and then fishing. That is his life. In the dressing room on the west side of the Coliseum Saturday night, while a disappointingly small crowd waited patiently in their pews, 1 strode down to renew old acquaintances, those of Cliff Parker and Buddy. 1 had briefly met Clair Robinson and Bud Itattal in Vancouver, but only briefly. Buddy stood nonchalantly leaning against the wall, smoking a cigaret, bedecked in his street clothes and a newly acquired ivy league cap. LIKEABLE GUV He was the same likeable, good-natured and generous (he invited me to spend a week at his Hood Canal, Washington home and enjoy "some of the. finest stoelhead fishing there is, "but, a trip 1 never found time to make) guy 1 knew from several years back when he masqueraded, unknown to audiences, as I lie Masked Marvel. lie maintained this'role for five years only once being defeated and unmasked by Lou Thesz, then World Heavyweight champion. His only new acquisition, other than the cap and a few years ago, was a small mustache. . He still was baldpate, something 1 hadn't expected any change in, and he still made fishing almost his first topic of conversation. Buddy, who Friday night had fought in Tacoma, is not what could be called facially handsome. He has had too many punishing years inside the ring. But, he is still quick of quib, jovial and undoubtably still a party cut-up and conversationist. MK. HYDE SIDE That is Buddy Knox, the Dr. Jekyll side. The other is Buddy Knox, the Mr. Hyde view, which only appears inside the confines of the ring. Buddy for years has been the "bad man" inside the ropes.. Despite a two-year layoff just recently when he became a mill owner, Buddy returned to the ring' just as bad as ever. Bad in a good crdwd-distaining sort of way. Like most wrestlers, despite popular belief, outside the ring he can converse with almost anyone on dates, current and historical happenings, etcetera, including the Marquis of Queensbury ruling of 1SG5 which called for boxers to use gloves. Inside the ring Buddy possibly couldn't even spell Marquis. Not that he couldn't he just doesn't want too. Closed fist blows and hair pulling is disallowed in wrestling He also knows this. But, says the referee doesn't or can't see you? All is fair in love and wrestling. Buddy has used this strategy and won his share of matches. Saturday night, however, he ran amoke of local referee Jerry Loiselle once too often in the best-of three falls, one-hour time limit main event. In contrast to the baldpate Knox, Prince Maivia of British Samoa had hair to spare. The Prince won the first fall, bare feet' and all, with a head-knocking blow. Knox retaliated with, what (Sac "BUDDY" on next page) Pitching Performances Unreliable In AL THE PRINCE GEORGE senior soccer league is underway and while there was two games Sunday the only team to fall to defeat was Legion.

SPLIT DOUBLEHEADER WITH RAINIERS Mounties Slip To Second PCL Rung Vancouver Mounties slipped to second place in the Pacific Coast League baseball standings Sunday when Seattle Rainiers whipped them G-2 in the night-cap of their doubleheader. Vancouver took the opener -1-0 )chind the six-hit pitching of Art Ccccarelli as Joe Durham and Bill Japoic hit homers. Sacramento Solons were rained out in the second game of their [oubleheader with San Diego Padres but their 7-2 first-game win puts them seven percentage points ahead of Vancouver. The Solons have a 12-10 record and Cancouver 13-12. Joe Hatten was the losing pitcher for Vancouver in the second game. Hatten, 40, a member of the 1947 Brooklyn Dodger pennant winners, was routed with five runs in the first inning by Seattle. At Portland'the Beavers split a doubleheader with Spokane Indians.
