Cause of the Accident.
Men who were standing on the walk
were attracted by a disturbance In the
street. They leaned over the side@sof
the railing to see what was the trouble,
and this drew the attention OF other
spectators seated on the top rows Of
the bleachers. Then occurred what's
seen almost every day at ball game;
q rush to see what other spectators
We're looking at. The walk became
overcrowded, and without a moments
warning 200 feet OF 1T fell to the side
walk, twenty feet below, carrying all
who were on 1t. There weregprobahly
5000 persons sitting in the left field
bleachers, and the roa 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. It was one
great, black wave Of humanity. Men
and boys climbed over one another8ins
their efforts to escape from the
grounds.
