	In the mid-1940s he was in Spokane, and was the manager of [[Tiger Jack Fox]]. He also worked as a wrestling referee, after the wrestling game was revived in the spring of 1945 in Spokane. Shortly afterwards, Tiger Jack Fox made his first appearance as a wrestler in Spokane in May 1945. He was with Fox through at least July 1947, when Fox was temporarily retired in Spokane following a knockout loss to [[Jerry McSwain]]. He may have resurfaced with Fox after he was given a final chance in the spring of 1948, though probably no later than Fox's final retirement in Spokane after the [[Freddie Beshore]] fight.
