Watch Her was placed on the outside position for bad behavior. She got off to a good start, broke away from the field after a few strides. Jockey Pascuma, who had intended to let her gallop home last as a matter of form, allowed her to run as fast as she wanted. He was even more amazed than the crowd when she ran fast enough to win, a length and a half ahead of Miss Merriment at the finish...
...Your superb summary of the inflation gallop under National Affairs, "Riding the Wave" (TIME, May 1) was marred by slight inaccuracies regarding "No. 1 Inflationist Thomas." Senator Elmer Thomas has been lampooned for three years by most of the Washington correspondents. It was not surprising that they largely underestimated his ability and quickly assumed that "the Squire took him into camp" when Thomas walked out of the Oval room of the White House with his revised Senate bill. Before the Senate silverites had cast an amazing total of 33 ayes for inflation of the coinage of silver, Senator Thomas...
...three-year-old filly Marchioness and John L. Dodge's colt Hollyrood Dennis. Will Caton driving Marchioness won the first heat. Hollyrood Dennis won the second.

Marchioness, Hollyrood Dennis and Invader lined up for the fourth heat. After two false starts, they were fairly away. Caton in third place began moving up at the three-quarter pole. He passed...

Even with this change of pace the story is worth telling; its author's graceful, polished competence makes the telling true to romance...
...swift backhander from Luton, the high scorer of the contest, made from a gallop, drove the ball between the bars for the first score of the game. Then after giving an exhibition of fine saving, the Harvard number one man registered again. Captain Freeman then started the Tigers off with a tally from a six man melee directly in front of the Crimson goal. Captain F. S. Nicholas '33 sent another goal through for Harvard. Crispin Cooke '32 sent a steaming shot from midfield to score in the next stanza which the Princeton back soon countered by retaliating with...
