Philadelphia, Aug. 11.-Nine dead, at

carrying 200 spectators.
The identified dead re:

Nearly 100 persons received fractures
Of the limbs. decorations Of the head,

body, but their condition is not serious.
Two games were scheduled between
Boston n Philadelphia and the att
traction drew over 10000 persons to the
ball park. The accident occurred at
$40 o'clock while the Boston team was
at bat in its half Of the fourth inning
Of the second game and was Indirectly
due to a quarrel between two drunken
men in the street.
The National league stands are built
Of steel and brick, the brick wall ex-
tending entirely around the grounds.
At the top of the left field where seats
extend from the grandstand to the end
Of the bleachers there is a walk about
three feet wide, which o%verhung the
street. It was this walk that gave way
under the heavy weight.
Cause of the Accident.
Men who were standing on the walk
were attracted by a disturbance in the
street. They leaned over the side Of
the railing to see what was the trouble,
and this drew the attention Of other
spectators seated IN the top rows of
the bleachers. Then occurred what is
seen almost every day at a ball game
q rush to see what other spectators
were looking at. The walk became
overcrowded, and without a moments
warning 200 feet Of it fell to the side
walk, twenty feet below, carrying all
who were on it. There were probably
5000 persons sitting in the left field
bleachers, and the roar made by the
falling timbers created a panic. In
stantly the spectators rose en- masse
and made a rush down the stand and
into the playing field. 1t was one
great, black wave of humanity. Men
and boys climbed over one another in
their efforts to escape from the
grounds. =.a .-@a5
