'PAWSON PICKED
 TO REPEAT IN
 HUB MARATHON
Fast 26-Mile Race Is Ex- pected With Possible
 New Course Record

AoOctOuS ApII LssNOI J-p wv former winners will be among the approximately 225 runners-in- cluding the distance stars of the United States and Canada-who start from Lucky Roels Manor Hopkinton Thursday, in the 38th annual Boston A. A. marathon.
 They are Leslie Pawson of Paw tucket, R. T., last years winner and holder of the course record; Paul De Bruyn of the German-Ameri- can A. C., New York, 932 winner; the veteran Bill Kennedy of Port Chester, N. r., who won in 1917; and Clarence De Mar, the keene, N. H., schoolmaster who broke the tape seven times between 1910 and 1890.
 The 1894 winner, as in other years, is anybody's guess.
 "I am going in with the intcn- ton of winning the race again this year." said Pawson, who has turned from mill work to gardening since his triumph year ago.
 Just Fair
 He has not performed auspici- ously thus far this season, having, for example, dropped out of the Medford 20-mile race at the IT, mile mark. But a foot which bothered him is all right now and there is no question that he will be a factor in the forthcoming bat tie.
 A factor too will be De Mar, who celebrates his 18th birthday anni- versary in June. De Mar, who finished ninth in the Medford race, expects to be among the first 10 in Thursdays contest.
 Ambitious
 This year marks Henigan's silver anniversary as q runner, and the a competitor for the 14th time.
 "I hope to finish in the first eight" he said, "as 1t will be the last time I will compete in the marathon"
 Many look for an extraordinar- fly fast race Thursday, with per- haps a new course record. Though 1t is next to impossible to pick a winner, Pawson is favored to re- peat, maybe with Dave Komoncn of Sudbury, Ont, last years run ner-up, again placing second.
 Pawson's record time of last year for the course of 28 miles 385 yards between Hopkinton and the B. A. A. clubhouse in Boston's Back Bay was 9 hours 31 minutes 1 3-5 seconds.
 Johnny Kelley of the North Med- ford @lub, who won the Medford 20-mile event, is expected to finish well up front as are Johnny SempIe of the United Shoe Machinery A. A., Beverly, who finished third in the same race, and Billy Steiner of the German-American A. C., New York.
