Muldoon, of New York, and

Twenty-Five policemen under COM
mand OF Chief Hayes were called to the

attempt OF Young Muldoon." wrest-
Ter from New York, to defeat In foul
tactics Frank Baker. a favOrite In lio-
boken Mudoon was Missed by crowds
Of men and boys In the gallery and
other parts Of the house Muldoon was
disqualified by the referee,
So ncsnsed were the friends Of Baker
at Muldoon's tactics that about 500 OF
them waited about the front OF the
theatre for the wrestler TO come out.
Their shouts were heard BY people In
the neighborhood. and soon the windows
were filled with white-robed figures,
who had been aroused from sleep.
Word was telephoned to Police Head.
quarters, and Chic. Hayes and his
twenty-five reserves hurried to the
place. Apparently the managers OF the
Gayety Theatre were loaNe TO allow
Muldoon to leave the building while the
crowd remained about. but as soon as
the police arrived and dispersed the
rioters the wrestler was escorted to the
Fourteenth street ferry and came to
New York.
Chief Hayes said he would make an
effort to have the wrestling bouts, which
have heen put on after the regular per-
formance, abandoned hereafter.
