GAME ENDED IN A RIOT.
Football Contest in south America
Beats Anything Seen Here.

Montevideo, July 22.-Rioting. in which
the stadium was burned and the police
were compelled to drive the spectators
from the grounds, broke up a football
game between the Uruguayians and Ar
gentines that was to have decided the
championship of South America. The
seasons play between teams represent
ing Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Brazil
had brought the final down to the two
former teams.
Tickets for the game beyond the ca
pacity of the field had been sold and
thousands of persons broke through the
gates, invaded the seats and crowded
onto the field lines.
When the game started the Uruguay
ians carried the bail down the field and
made an attempt for a goal The try
failed and the spectators thereupon in
vaded the field, making further play i'm
possible.
The police at first were unable to cope
with the mob, which set fire to the
stadium on three sides. but finally
charged the rioters and drove them from
the grounds. Several persons were in
jured during the disturbance.
