THE GREAT NINTH

Only condolences and sympathy are in order for those whom the heat of yesterday afternoon drove away before the Great Ninth Inning. Others who allowed the predominant blue color of the score up to and even including the seventh inning to sway their scorched spirits in the direction of the exits are suffering sufficiently now to make any recriminations useless. Those who remained had the faith which moves mountains, and as the sun was setting they saw the mountains move.

The stern chase was long and bitter and the struggle to overcome this lead, with the series dependent upon it, was a magnificent example of fighting spirit. The roar which broke forth after Owen's hit will long echo within the shades of the University. However trite congratulations may seem, we must join our voice with the voice of graduates and undergraduates in congratulating Captain Owen and his team and also in wishing them all success on Saturday at Braves Field.
