Philadelphia, Aug. IL. : Four per-
sons we're killed outright, five others
died from wounds and five are In a
critical condition as the result OF an
accident at the Philadelphia National
League Baseball park Saturday after
noon.
Two hundred victims we're treated
at the various hospitals and 1t Is be
lieved that fully 100 more received
attention at various drug stores in the
vicinity of the baseball grounds.
Two games had been scheduled be-
tween Boston and Philadelphia, and
the attraction drew over 10000 people
to the ball park. The accident occurred
during 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 extending entirely
around the grounds. At the top of the
left field seats and extending from the
Crandstand to the end of the bleachers
there was a walk about three feet
wide which. overhung the street. 1t
was this walk that gave way under the
heavy weight.
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 who rushed to the walk to
see what was going on below. The
walk became overcrowded and 200
feet of il fell to the sidewalk, twenty
feet below. There were 5000 persons
sitting in the left field bleachers and
the roar made by the falling timbers
Caused a Panic.
The spectators made a rush down
the stand and into the field. Men and
boys climbed over one another in an
effort to escape and several persons
were badly hurt in the crush.
The 10000 persons within the
grounds crowded around the injured.
Ambulances, wrecking wagons and
street cars soon carried the injured
home or to the hospitals The street
was spotted with blood and it looked
like a field of battle.
An examination of the walk after
the accident showed that many Of the
wooden supports, which extended
three feet beyond the walk, were rot
ten.
The coroner will make a thorough
investigation.
