SEWARD BOXER ISSUES
CHALLENGE TO WOOED
Enis Nickeroff. the champ 115-pound
er of Southwestern Alaska, today hurls
a challenge to any 125 pound man in
the country, said boxing event to take
place in Seward, Saturday night, July
3. The little chap seems to have a
hard time getting an opponent to step
with him so as an added inducement
he is willing to give away ten pounds
which in his class, means a whole lot.
It is hoped one of the many clever
soldier boxers at Anchorage will ac
cept the challenge which carries with
it, in the way of cash, practically the
entire gate on the night of the event.
Anyone wishing to accept the chal
lenge is requested to call at The Gate
way office and obtain further infor
mation.

YOUNG LADIES PLAN ENTERING
MARATHON RACE COMING
FOURTH OF JULY
It’s all off. Marathoners!
This year’s race up the high hill is
going to be annexed by one or two
Seward young ladies, for, according
to a reliable report turned into The
Gateway office last night, Miss Rose
Haag and Miss Dolly Fisher have
been running up the mountain twice
daily for the last three days and their
best time this early in the game is
one hour and three minutes, just a
few minutes beyond the record of 8
years standing.
This will undoubtedly come as a
surprise to the public for the race is
a grueling one for the most rugged
of athletes. It is, however, a greater
surprise to learn of the remarkable
fast time the young ladies have made
on their initial trips.
Wait till Ed and Erick hear of this.!
