PAGE TWENTY Thm OREGON STATESMAN. Satan, Oregon, Sunday Morning, April 7, 1946 cnators Rap Oregon State Twice, Play Portland U Pilots Here Today Information ; please dept: How come, we'd like to know, an Angello Petrillo, affectionately called "Petunia" by his native south Portland pals, comes into the village fighting as "Archie Cook of Seattle" when, as Angello Petrillo, he reportedly isn't allowed to fight in Portland because he can't pais a doctor's exam? And if our files arent mistaken, the same lad, fighting as Petrillo. biffed with one Injun Eddie Waller here a few years ago . ; ; Not that Cook PetriUo didn't ' wage acceptable enough fistic war with Duane lioag In their two local meetings, but; we'd aorta like to know the real shuffle on the deal especial ly Jince the guy Is said to be still ' living very much in south Port land ... Too, we wouldn't mind finding out just who is doing the matchmaking for the VTWa. Har ry Plant, who instigated 'the so far lucrative fistic comeback, says' he's , got about as much to do with making the matches as Clark Gab le, and isnl at all happy with the setup, lie says Tex Salkeid Is ac tually running the shows ... TEX 8ALKELD ; And speaking of the loquacious Salkeid, fight followers who watched his little buzz-saw Hoag make, not like a buzz-saw last week against Cooky Petrillo claim the wee walloper is going to the post too often. . Fighting his particular style in 10-rounders on Friday night and then again the following Wednesday does seem like too much, but Salkeid says no. Tex vows the kid loves it and would fight every night if turned loose. Frisco WUl Provide All Color Necessary The Senator monkey suits are to be plain white jobs piped in Hue this time, a change from the colorful and patriotic riot of red, white and blue which bespangled the pfe-war Snlons. But any color lacking in the ball togs on his ballgamer will likely be more than made up by Skipper Frisco Edwards. He's been keeping even the all-free practice session customers in a dither since the camp opened last week . . . And if Frisco doesn't stop telling his "speaking tour" audiences "We're gonna have a good ball club." firvt thing you know hell have 'em befieving it.
