...considered likely to win again today. The University team has made a very much better showing this year than last, so far, and is expected to win third place at least. Jaques, who won first place in the Yale meet last week, is expected to break the tape again today. Harding and Heald will be unable to run owing to sprained ankles...
Ephemeral as the stock-market quotations which lend humor to the situations, and as slender as the broker's tape out of which the plot is spun, Mr. Owen Wister's little story of "Mother" is nevertheless not unworthwhile.
