GOING TO ENGLAND. Thomas J. HaIpin Writes of Plans for
 the Fall.

Thcmas J. Halpin. the flying cap tain of the BoStoD A. A, holder of the worlds records for the indoor 6C0 yard and 40 yard runs, and generally be- 1ieyed to be one of the best perform CTS at this distance ever developed in America, or anywhere else, is planning to go to England in the fall, he writes to local friends
 While on the other side Halpin in tends to run several races, but he will combine running with sightseeing, and perchance may sell a few motor cars, his business in life aside from break ing records. The coming visit will not be Halpin's first to England. On the way home, from the Olympic games in which he participated for the United States at Stockholm in 1912 Halpin stopped off in England to run a few races and show them what real speed is like. It was about these races that the British Amateur Athletic aSSoci- atien made such fuss.
 An investigation proved to them, however that Halpins amateurism was above reproach. Before Halpin starts in any race in England this fall he will be very certain that the A. A. A. of that country absolves him from any tain of professionalism or pot-hunt- ing.
 After a winter of record breaking performances Halpin is going to do very little running during the early part of this summer. He has been through strenuous season surprising even his most ardent and enthusiastic admirers by his brilliant performances and new records hung up with every race started. Halpin may come to RaIlielson to do some of his late sum- merS training preparatory to starting On his trip to England.
