Stapleton and Atlas teams. and which
was stopped BY Inspector Schmittber-
Der and a squad OF policemen When
the umpire announced there would be no
game twenty-five hundred bowling men
and boys rushed for the box office 10 re
deem their membership tickets. AS
there was not sufficient money on hand,
threats OF violence were made.
The situation was relieved by num-
her OF Spectators, who bought the tick
cts bv the handful al % cents each in
tending TO cash IN today. After the
crowd had dispersed II was found that
the cards expired last night so far as
membership went and may not be bind
ing today The spectators fear they
have made a bad bargain and are on the
anxious bench.
Supposing they had as much right TO
DO as the BTOOklynites do, as they eX-
pressed II. several Staten Island promo
tiers advertised the game extensively.
The scheme was 10 sell membership
cards at a distance from the grounds
and then admit only members.
