more bluecoated policemen were soon
engaged in pulling the MANNED and

AT first il was feared that some might
have been killed, but this fear proved TO
be unfound-d. A great many persons,
however, were
VERY SEVERELY HURT,
and broken limbs ami bru.s't heads and
bodies were numerous. MANY of the
friends OF the wounded people had them
carried at once off the grounds and
placed In hacks, which took them away
before their names could be learned. liz
this way great many cases were not re-
! ported 10 the police.

whose names were not learned who stood
up on the top row of the "bleachers'
were badly bruised and cut.
The only ladies who were hurt were
two Brooklyn women, one of whom had
u foot crushed and the other leg
bruised. They were first taken to the
manager 8 Office near the main entrance,
ani were afterwards taken from the
grounds 10y their friends.
Some of those who were buried be-
meath the wreckage and vino were taken
out unconscious afterwards, recovered
and declined 10 be treated. They went
on the field again and other places to
view the game.
The lowest estimate puts the number
of people injured at fifty. while Others
place it Us high as sixty or more. The
condition, for broken tirnbers showed
that many of them were nearly rotten
i'll to, while the whole structure was the
most fimsy affair imaginable. When
it began to fill up with spectators the
joists were heard to crack and strain,
anu many who started TO find seats gave
il up rs Il dangerous job. Several per-
sons stationed Themselves near the en-
trance of the stand before the accid eut
go up, as il was unsafe. Every one
claimed that very superficial eXamina-
ton of the structure would have shown
that il was utterly Insufficient TO support
the crowd which would occupy it.
