WRESTLING SATURDAY NIGHT
KINISKI SAYS A CROWD -- OR ELSE
When Gene Kiniski, the
:mightiest villein of them
all, was asked if he would
display his rough and il-
legal tactics in a town the
size of Zurich, he merely
replied, "Sure, I'll fight
anyplace, 'anywhere, any-
time as long as there's a
large crowd on hand to
see, of course, the greatest
and most gentlemanly
wrestler of them all". Aft-
er strutting around and
nodding his head in ele-
gant fashion the Great
Kiniski went on to say,
"However, if there isn't a
crowd, someone in this
wrestling busi-
ness can expect a broken
neck over it!" Even though
it was wrestling promoter
Frank Tunney's neck that
he was referring to, the
remainder of K i n i s k is
audience were visibly sha-
ken by the threats of this
massive monster.
On the brighter side of the picture, Dara Singh, who has
recently arrived from his native India to endear himself to the
Canadian wrestling public, will appose Kiniski, the ex -Edmonton
Eslkmo footballer in the main event on this coning Saturday
nite's attractive card at the local arena. Incidentally, this is the
- same Singh Who came to "Whipper" Billy Watson's aid to give the
Miller brothers a devastating beating- on TV recently. Most tams
are hoping that he can do the same to Kiniski.
A. top flight tag -steam match between Maurice La Pointe and
'Tarzan Tourville Against Lee Henning and Karl Kulaski has also
ibeen arranged by promoter Tunney. Tiger Tasker and George
rl''encheff will appose each other in what will prove to be a very
interesting preliminary match. Looks like quite a night for wrestl-
ing" fans, especially with the whole show being presented night on
'aur own door -step.
The Fair Board has certainly lived up to their advance pub-
licity by making the fair "Bigger and Better than :Elver". Let's
do our part.

We took in the Detroit Tiger -Boston Red Sox doubleheader

feat, 6-L and 9-3, to move ahead of Ted Williams and Connlpany

standings. Al Kaline made the fielding play of the game when
he leaped against the right field fence to rdb Ted Williams of
what looked to be a sure home -run. Kaline then threw to first
• base to double Runnel, who had strayed too far from the initial
sack. This play was worth the price of admission alone.
Rete Runnels, Red Sox first baseman, ;banged out three hits
to take over the lead in the race for the American League's bat-
ting crown, His two closest opponents, Harvey Kuenn of Detroit,
and Ted Willl!iarms of Boston, gathered only two hits 'between them,

Pearson Doubles R -R Total
Albie Pearson, diminutive Washington outfielder, had hit only
'one honer lin his rookie season before he belted a three -run, 400
foot drive at Griffith Stadium on September 2, to enable the
'Nits to edge the Orioles, 4 to 3.
