Transit Facilities Swamped.
The arrival Of the great throng at the
stadium was a story in itself 1t is an
other chapter OF the utter inability of
the r. r. T. to rise to an emergency.
Though $4,000 automobiles, an endless
chain Of cars blackening the roads. came
honkhonking like gray Canadian geese
into Sheepshead Bay, the majority of the
huge crowd came by trolley and IL" Two
B. r T. branches. the senile and time
worn Ocean avenue surface line and the
Brighton Beach elevated. had to carry
the burden. Needless to say they fgu-
ratively sagged In the middle, stopped
over at the sides and broke at the bot
tom under the strain.
Somehow or other the great crowd,
coming from 10 o'clock in the morning
till midafternoon, got to Sheepshead
They kept the turnstiles clicking like a
battery of rapid fire guns. The great
gray stadium was quickly filled to over

Smith street line. Thousands Of spec

Smith street cars quickly were jammed
to the danger point. THE SUN man
finally got a toe hold Oh the running
board OF car headed toward Coney
Island. Once at Coney he boarded the
subway for New York.
Took 2 Hours and Minutes.
1t took just two hours and Ave min
utes to get from the Sheepshead Bay
stadium to Park Row. Some idea Of
what happened to the thousands of
women and children that attended the
great show thus may be imagined from
this one experience.
Press arrangements were bad and Il
was next to impossible to get some of
the results of the athletic contests.
Only for the announcer, William Ross
bach. who came to the rescue of the re-
porters. the scribes would have had a
difficult time obtaining results. The
time by laps In De Palma's ten mile
time trial were not obtainable. but It Is
