FIRE HAS AN INNING.

And PLAYS an Exciting Engagement on the
Chicago Grounds-A Fifteen Thousand
Dollar Stand Destroyed and the Lives OF
q Thousand Sightseers Imperfect by the
Flames-Ouick Action Of Players Ryan
and Wilmot.
CHICAGO, Aug. Slime was called
in the seventh inning of the Chicago
Cincinnati ball game this afternoon at
the West Side park by the cry OF fire,
followed by scenes never before Wit
messed at a sporting event in this city.
Curiosity to see the fire led more than
Thousand spectators to rush into dam
ger, and in their frantic efforts to ex-
tricate themselves from their perilous
positions they became panic stricken.
They found themselves hemmed in by
fire on one side and high barbed wire
fences on the other, erected
to keep the people from
encroaching on the diamond. The
exits were few and small, and althoug
other means of escape were provided
by the quick action of Players Ryan
and Wilmot, of the local team, and
President Hart, the imperiled and fear
crazed crowd bucked against the barbed
fencing. Their mad rush to get away
from the advancing flames resulted in
the injury of scores. Cuts, bruises,
Commissions, a broken arm and broken
leg were the injuries sustained. Many
of the victims, although badly hurt,
left the grounds before the police or
others could get their names.
The property of the club was dam
aged S15, 900 before the fire department
extinguished the flames. A cigar stub.
thrown among rubbish, started the
fire.
Arson was showing the visitors how
to hit the ball in the seventh inning
when a red light began to flash and
rise along the side stand, where the
fifty-cent spectators sat. There were
LOGO of them in the seats and 1900
witnessing the game altogether. The
breaking out of the fire caused gen.
eral rush of people in that part of the
ground to the top of the stand to take
a look as there was no longer any game
in progress. In a few minutes they
realized the danger of their position
and broke for the narrow exits, which
had already filed with smoke.
The spectators who We're in the
grand stand and on the bleachers were
at a safe distance from the fire and got
away into the field without any mis-
hap. From that position they wit
messed the destruction of the stand and
the serious plight of the other less
fortunate spectators.
The woodwork of the stand and the
piles of paper and other rubbish thrown
around provided fuel for the flames
which gained on the imprisoned men
before they know it. All was confu-
sion in an instant among the occu-
pants of the flaming wooden structure.
Women screamed in their fright and
men got damned against the sharp
fence. The exits might as well have
not been there. Hands, faces, limbs
and clothing were cut and torn
by the scrambling mass of hui
mainly in trying to force a
passage through the stands or over
them. The fence would not give way,
but Ryan and Wilmot used their bats
like blacl1smiths and made a way Of
escape for hundreds.
Five minutes after the last spectator
had gone out of reach of the flames
every seat was being consumed. The
grounds will be used to-day By fencing
off the burned part
