without . sea monster.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-23
By Bob Edgren, Jr.

4 KOREAN named Kitei Son, an Argentine
~ named Juan Carlos zabala, and a Finn
named Stenroos all owe their athletic fame to a
man VINO lived 2427 years ago, and who did not
want to invent the sport that made Son. Zabala
and Stenroos famous If he had been left to him
self, he probably would have had nothing to do
with it, because it caused his death in what
should have been the happiest moment of his
life
lhls fellow was dispatch runner in the Athe-
nian army. He had been selected for the duty
because he an Olympic champion, and in
those days the speed of a single runner might
mean life or death for whole nation.
Persian army sent by Darius, ordered to
slave Athens and Eretra, reached Eretria first
and carried out its orders to the letter. Then
IL moved south and landed at Marathon, little
town about ID miles from Athens. The Athenans
were in panic Their best dispatch runner, Phe-
dippides, was sent more than hundred miles
to Sparta for help. He covered that distance in
IN couple of days, but came back without the
help because the Spartans were busy with a
religious festival
Pheidippides got back to Athens just in time
to pick up his spear and shield and start off for
Marathon
When he got there things started to pop, and
instead of getting much-needed rest the run
ner had to take part in of the longest charges
in history. Some authorities claim the Greeks
ran full mile, in heavy armor, to get into hand
to-hand combat, where followed a terrific saugh-
ter. The Greeks lost only 1872 men, but they
hacked 6400 Persians to the ground
Pheidippides took his full part in these pro-
ceedngs. Then his kind-hearted superiors came
along and said: boy! You run back to Athens
and tell the folks we won."
If Phedippides had been running a race for
sport he probably would have sat down beside
the road after the first mile two and decided
to let the other fellow have first place for a
change But orders are orders. He on. Every
breath he drew felt like a burning flame. He
stumbled rose and staggered on. When he got
to the edge of town, the first Athenians rushed
out to greet him. He fell to the ground, dying.
Professors of ancient history insist that his
remarks on that occasion should be translated
somewhat stiff1y and nobly as Rejoice! We con-
quer' Since he was athlete, however it is
more likely that he said something equivalent
to "Hoorayi We won,"
Although Pheidippides % miles from
Marathon to the outskirts of Athens the official
distance is now 26 miles, 3s5 yards. This is the
distance from the battlefield into the stadium
where the finished in the first modern
Olympcs in 1896.

Athletic Prowess Of Ancients Unusual
AS That Displayed In Modern Age

History repeated itself just once in the mara.
thon run. The first modern Olympic marathon
by a Greek, Spyros Loues, who was
also an army dispatch runner His story is one
of the most romantic episodes in all Olympic
history.
Loues was young country boy who Joined
the Greek army when Greece was threatened
with a with Turkey. All his youth he
had lived in the hills, sometimes walking fifty
or sixty miles day. so it was natural for his
officers to select him as a dispatch runner.
Before the Olympic Games of 1896 his enlist
ment ran out, and he returned to the village of
Marousi, where his relatives convinced him that
he was the man to win the marathon for Greece
On the day of the trials for the team, Loues
was sick boy. He the best that he could
but coming into the last half-mile he was far
back in the ruck. Realizing that his chance to
make the team was slipping away from him, he
put on a wild, desperate sprint that barely car
ried him past enough of his rivals to get him
qualifying place. He collapsed at the tape and
all but duplicated the famous finish of Pheidip-
pides then and there.
He did, however, make the Greek team and
was duly entered in the Olympic marathon At
the start of that race in 1885, all the contestants
were extremely nervous. A marathon had never
been run before, and nobody knew Just how to
do it. One French athlete was passing from
do it. One French athlete was passing from run
find somebody who would drink with him. Crazy
as it sounds today, he found one-an Irishman,
John Daily. John had come from Ireland at his
own expense, and didn't have any real running
equipment. His feet were encased in huge Irish
brogans.
When the gun signalled the start, DAILY and
the Frenchman sprinted wildly down the course.
Loues took things easy, and lost SO much ground
that he was in thirtieth place at the end of six
miles. At the halfway mark, he found the
Frenchman curled up in a chair, dead to the
world. A couple more glasses of cognac and
few minutes of wild singing and shouting had
concluded the race as far as he was concerned
Daily had stopped there, too, and asked for
bowl of water to wash his feet, which were
badly cut by the heavy brogans. He ran off
without waiting for the water deciding that if
he got his feet out of his shoes he would
never get them in again.
Loues passed man after man. A Swede, raving
Historically, was carried shreking into the
shade of some trees by the course officials A
Hungarian trying to meet Loues' challenge
crumped up in the dust. John DAILY was bodily
carried off the course by two fellow Irishmen
who feared that if he ran any further he'd never
be able to use his feet again. They were SO cut
and blistered by the brogans that blood was run
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-23

Finally Loues came up even with Vantekes.
For a mile or two they side by side. The
heat was terrific, the road uphill and the dust
deep. After running 24 miles as fast as they
dared to- these two men who hated each Other
began to put sprint. The crowds lining the
road cheered - shrieked = and then gave wild
cries of despair both Greeks fell to the
ground and lay there unable to get up One
hundred and fifty thousand Greeks gathered to
see the inish-in day when thousand people
an unheard-of crowd at track meet
groaned as the news brought to them. Other
runners were coming up from behind AS the
officials cleared the way into the stadium and
tired dusty little man ran in, and logged around
the track, those 10000 throats gave cheer
such as had not been heard in Greece for more
than 2000 years. The winner was Loues!
The Greeks couldn't do enough for him. Wo-
men tore off their jewery and threw it onto the
track. A hotel owner gave him an order for
365 free meals. committee from Athens gave
him a check for $4,000 gold francs. Loues
wouldn take it. No, indeed. He said
Il didn't run for gold"
A gymnasium was built with the money.
Loues later accepted a job water-earrier for
his native village of Marousi and for years after
that supported himself and his wife by bringing
water into town the same way that the Greeks
did in the days of Phedippides-n little kegs
donkey back
In 1886 Spyros Loues once again made dra-
matte entrance into an Olympic Stadium. He
carried the Olympic torch into the stadium at
Berlin to light the Olympic flame.
1t is not surprising that this most grueling
event of modern athletics has seen its winners
come from all parts of the earth. No other event
is cosmopolitan. One Frenchman, one Greek,
two Americans North African, one South
African one Argentine, one Korean, two Firms.
and Canadian have it.
Why? Because the winning of this event de-
pends not speed, but on hard work. Some
racers are favored with speedy legs All have
equal chance to develop endurance through
hard training. Zabala ran the pampas of the
Argentine; Kte Son in the mountains of Korea;
42-year old Stenroos, the Oldest winner in ice
bound Finland. great japanese marathoner,
Kusunok got his endurance in the largest salt
beds of Japan, running along the dykes to see
how the salt was drying. Perhaps some future
winner will be ricksha coolie.
1t remained for America to produce the queer
est distance runner. Johnny Cigars" Connors
frequent entrant in the Boston marathon usll-
ally smokes % cigars during the race.
Jimmy Duffy, who won the Boston marathon
in 1914, Mortified those who believe in strict
training rules by training on cigars and beer.
However he didn't last as long as Clarence De
Mar, who kept better training. De Mar won
eighteen marathons seven of them in Boston
in Los Angeles in 1890, two at Port Chester
N. Y, two at Brockton, two at Baltimore and
one each in Pawtucket, Philadelphia, and Hail.
