Pawtucket, R. l., April 12-CUP)-
Although I expect to win the Bos-
ton A. A. marathon for the third
time week from today, there are
plenty of good men in the race this
year and an upset can easily happen.
Johnny Kelley of Arlington, Mass,
and Tarzan Brown of Westerly, who
also seeks his third B. A. A. tri-
umph, are my selections to finish
second and third respectively.
Young Don Heinicke will bear
watching, however, and SO will such
runners as Paul Donate and Gerard
Cote and many others who have the
ability and manage to click on that
day. I think the B. A. Ais the hard
est race of all to predict. Anything
can happen there.
This will be my 10th appearance
in the Boston classic. won in 1888
and 1888. I started training this
year on January 8, running short
distances. began longer workouts
up to 20 miles on February 26. Com
peting in two and three mile races
indoors during the winter has helped
my speed. Late in March I won the
North Medford 20-mile ace for the
fourth time.
At present I hold records in the
New England three-mile indoors, the
presentation 10-mile and the Brock
ton fair 10-mile.

IF at first you don't succeed,

tried and true, and its veracity was
proven again Tuesday night when
the local Mixed League beat their
colleagues from Hartford. The
Mixed League did not succeed at
first when they boWled the Sacred
Heart Club nor were they success
full in their second, third. or fourth
attempts, but in their fifth try
against the Hartford crowd they
gathered no moss but instead, a
not unpleasant victory. And the
Hartford Office asked for ii!
Beaten and sore, the local league
had about given up the idea of any
more outside matches when Marge
Zehner took it upon herself to send
Jack Kearney a challenge. Jack
who has true Irishman's love for
competition, decided that one more
defeat --ould do our record no
harm and so he accepted. A very
very wise decision!
Rest assured that no credit for
Waterbury's victory may be given
to Ernest Scofield. Ernie knocked
down SO many pins that the secre-
tary of the local pinboys' union has
entered formal protest with the
NLR.B. TIL Waterbury league has
requested Leo Mayo to audit the
Hartford leagues records before the
next match takes place and certify
