Marathon Champ Is
Running Wild In the
Russian River Region
Alex Bolam, the mountain speed
king, is now somewhere in the Rus
sian river district, running the bears
to death, according to his side-kick,
Pat Hussey. Bolam, who holds the
record of 5G minutes up and down
Marathon mountain, wanted to get
away from the noise and strife of the
city to get into shape for the annual
Fourth of July event and believed by
getting in close touch with dame na
ture would acquire that physical per
fection which will be needed to re
tain his laurels against the field of
entrees now opposed to him.
Eric Eckman, filed his entry with
the sports committee of the 4th of
July celebration yesterda, as a con
testant in the Marathon mountain
race, the Classic event of Southwes
tern Alaska. Eckman took the phy
sical examination required, passing
writh high honors. Eckman is tout
ed as being the lad who will bring
home the bacon.
