...Thomas, a poor man's horse, belongs to Alexander Gordon of Louisville, onetime trainer for Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilt and Cartoonist Bud Fisher. Sir Thomas finished his two-year-old season a "maiden," never having won a race. But had he not jumped a path on the course at the Futurity, observers say he would have beaten Singing Wood. Form-players can justify their fancy for Sir Thomas by recalling that Sir Barton in 1919 and Broker's Tip last year entered the Derby as ''maidens...

In her opinion, fewer college men were entering brokerage houses on graduation. There is no question that 1929 and the evanescence of our post-war dreams has robbed the stock market of much of its former glamour. But there is a new force operating to send the money-lustful young man into more constructive fields. Legislation now before Congress for the control of the national exchanges will...
