"I shall run one kilometre in the race somewhsre in Greece, and it is quite possible that T shall go to Germany by air with an olive branch cut from Mount Olympus," he told Reuter. Louis is now 65 years old and is + spending the closing years of an active \ life as inspector to the community of ‘the village of Amaroussis near Athens. Sitting in the inevitable coffee house on the main square in the village, he described how he came to run in the Al Huggins, Former Maroon, to Coach Porky Senior Club When Timmins and Porkies meet here next Tuesday, it will be like a battle bstwéen the New York Ameriâ€" cans and the Montreal Maroons.

Al is well known in the North, for after having played on the Toronto Canoe Club junicr team of 1926, he went to Iroquois Falls, where in 1927 on I dese 1896 Startu1 as Joke j "It all commenced as a joke," he said. "I was serving with the colours, as I belong to the 1893â€"1895 class, and was, at the latter end of my service, apâ€" pointed crderly to General Mavroâ€" michalis. We were riding on horse back and passing the stadium, which in those days was only a small wcoden structure, with benches all round. "My officer, pointing to the stadium, said that next year there would be great doings, and that a race would be run from Marathon to Athens, a disâ€" tance of 42 kilometres, and that I ought to run. "I replied that not cnly would I run but woulqg win the race. After obtainâ€" inz my discharge from the colours, I went back to my village, working in the fields. We fellows in Amarousis are reâ€" nowned as athletes. "On Good Friday, 1896, in company with others, I went to Marathon for trial run. I had made no attempt at diet nor undergone any training, trustâ€" ing to my own vitality. We set off from Marathon and after running for some considerable time I got cramps, but managed to carry on and finish with the trial, arriving fifth, and was thus eligible for the actual Marathon race. That night my legs and muscles were very stiff and I was rubbed well with spirit. Veteran Marathoner to Appear at Berlin Winner of First Race from Athens to Carry Olive Branch from Olympus to Germany. # There is special interest in the exâ€" pecteda presence of one athlete at the Olympics in 1936 when the 1936 games are staged in Berlin. This one man is Sspyros Louis, the veteran marathoner, whose record and career are of special interest. Spyros Louis was the winner of the original marathon to Athens race in the first modern Olympic games meeting held in 1896. It is 40 years since that race in which Spyros Louis won fame, and in recent years he has been living in retirement so far As athletics are concerned. He has never lost touch or interest, however, and next year he intends to emerge from his retirement to take part in the reâ€" lay race from Mount Olympus to Berâ€" lin. The story of his expected part in the Olympics next year has recently been told in detail by despatches from Europe, with added information on the life and varied activities of this noted runner. What this veteran marathon runner has to say himself will be read with keen interest by all who are conâ€" cerned in sport and sports. 12e maln ibed how Olympiad "he ceverberation of the greatest transportation ente the world in the interest of A,.

The next year he stepped up ‘to senior ranks and attracted the atâ€" 'tcntlon of scouts. The net result was that in 1930, he was one of the stars ‘ of the Allan Cup winnetrs, the Montreal |Amateur Athletice â€" Asscciation _ team. From there he jumped to the Maroons and then to the International league where ho was with Windsor Bulldogs, | Detroit Olympics, and Syracuse Stars. ‘__"On Easter Surday, I set off for Marathon, in comnany with all the other competitors, about 70, in an old spring cart. The road in those days was only a goat track, with stones and ditches all along. We eventually arâ€" | rived in Marathon, where we weore most hospitably received and entertained by | the mayor. After a good feed with plenâ€" | ty of ‘"retzinato" (the juice of white for black grap>s to which is added resin ‘from the pine tree, giving it a very !acid flavour suggestive of turpentine) ‘Iâ€"went to bed. Next morning we were all examined by the doctor and I was passed fit for the race to be run on Thursday of Easter week. Asked about refreshments on the way, Louis replied: "I drank retzinato and beaten up eggs." Louis laughingly reâ€" callegq the shoes that he ran in, a very old pair of slippers. By the time he arâ€" rived in Athens there was nothing left of them. FIRST MEETING OF 1936 The first sitting of the court of reâ€" vision on the 1936 assessment roll will be held in the council chamber, town hall, Timmins, on Thursday, Dec. 19th, commencing at 10 a.m. Although he was offered a professionâ€" al contract again this year, he refused it to remain in South Porcupine as coach of the senior Porkies. "Eventually I was examined by an Italian doctor, to whom I made a sign by drawing my hand across my stomâ€" ach, that I was hungry, but he would not allow me to eat. From the Crown Prince Constantine, I received a very nice gold watch in addition to the ofâ€" ficial prize." "The day of the race was bitter cold. I was the last to leave and soon manâ€" aged to pass the greater part of my friends, until there wtre only five ahead. I managed to reduce this disâ€" tance to three, a Greek called Vassilaâ€" kos. a Frenchman and someone else whom I do not remtmber. I overtook Vassilakos, who fell going uphill, the Frenchman also fell shortly after, so I was second. I overtook the other man ijust outside Athens. "On arriving at the stadium I did not know what to do but was told to go right in. I was met by the princes, who wanted to embrace me, but I insisted on running round the stadium once.
