Beef on Boylston

Yukon Eric

Leslie Jones captured wrestler Yukon Eric cooling off on July 30, 1950 during a stay at the Hotel Touraine, at Boylston and Tremont streets (the building still stands, it's directly across Boylston from the Masonic building).

During the same visit, a promoter let Brockton's own Rocky Marciano and wrestler Don Eagle get a peek at his pecs:

Eric found the horse steroid gun, and the Rock looks like about 170# wet, did he get some pharmaceutical advice from the Gold Rush boy Eric or what?
