JIMMY HENIGAN, the 40-year-old, smooth-striding veteran, looms as America's brightest hope in the marathon race at Los Angeles this Summer. “Smiling Jimmy’s” great race in the 36th running of the Boston marathon, when he finished close behind the German champion, Paul De Bruyn, won for him the honor of being the first official member of the United States Olympic team. Henigan, a short, stocky individual, with hair slightly graying and not nearly as plentiful as when he was a gay young blade dashing over marathon routes here and there, was well pleased with his showing in the Boston race. As he said after the.race, his one hope was to qualify for the Olympic te: m He might, he said, have gone out in those last few miles and punished himself in the heartbreaking effort to keep abreast of the fleet-footed De Bruyn, but in:.d he was content to clinch a place on the American team. “In Los Angeles, next Sum-

Amsterdam, but along with the others who made that ocean trip ; he suffered from the rough voyage. The veteran Clarence De Mar, looked upon as America’s . best bet for victory, finished far back in that race and it remained . for the chesty Joie Kay to be the [ first of the Americans to finish. ; Henigan has been running ; since 1909 and in that time has ■ won more than 630 trophies. ■ Twelve times he entered the Bos- ■ ton marathon and finished each i time, but not until 1931 did he • taste the sweet fruits of victory. ‘ His time in the recent race was just a few seconds back of the i record for the Boston route and Jimmy is sure that he can do bet- ■ ter at Los Angeles.
