Detroit's new Archbishop Edward Mooney told Rev. William Henigan that golf might well be the barometer of a priest's endeavors. Said he: "If your score is over 100 you are neglecting your golf-if it falls below 90, you are neglecting your parish...
...Steiner slowed down and John Kelley of Arlington, Mass, and a pale, unhappy-looking Finn named Dave Komonen soon caught him. From the sidewalks, Wellesley girls waved to the runners who pass through their town in underclothes once every year-Leslie Pawson, last year's winner; cheerful Jimmy Henigan, winner in 1931; Paul De Bruyn, the furnace-man who trained for his victory two years ago by running up and down the back stairs of a Manhattan hotel...

For 10 mi., over the long Newton hills, Kelley and Komonen held their lead together, Kelley gaining a few steps as they plodded up, Komonen gaining a few as they coasted down the other side.

With what pleasure did I realize my town would make TIME this week. Medford's Smiling Jimmy Henigan won the Boston Marathon on April 19 and the race is reported in TIME'S usual great style (TIME, April 27). But where did you get that picture of Canadian Runner Johnny Miles who came in tenth or thereabouts which you have labeled with the winner's name? How did that maple leaf on Johnny's shirt get by you? Your picture service can furnish you with a real picture of great little Henigan for your next week...
