iSwenty years before, a very rich man
had endowed IT with millions and added
more more millions every year. The best

Lowell had spent more than a hundred
years to acqure-recognition as the
greatest seat OF learning In the country
PUT the western college was proud OF
inc remarkable progress she made in
so short time and she was reaching

Naturally, athletics were salected nc
one Of the chief fields Of effort. Her
managers knew that ATHLETIC supremacy

On the day Of the great game business
houses closed carly and every one talked
baseball. Everybody that could get in
