Polo Grounds that Babe Ruth cam
reach. and another on the spot that is
held down summer afternoons by the re-
Liable George Burns.
There appeared to be some discord
among the orators. Gov. Smith dis
avowed any part in 1t. Charlie Sweeney
insisted that his boss. Dudley Field Ma
lone. came nearly not being present be
cause friends of Gov. Smith didn't want
him there. Sweeney explained at great
length. but there seemed to be something
missing from his story. besides Mr.. Ma
lone did speak. and at some length. and
was applauded.
Woman Among Speakers.
Judge Rosalsky spoke at the home
plate stand and after holding forth for
brief space gave way to GOV. Smith.
Jeremiah O'Leary and Frank Walsh
worked in right field, and Joe Cannon
and Major Eugene f. Kinkaid did the
talking in centre. After Mr.. Malone had
finished in left Mrs. Mary MacWhorter
of Chicago took the stand and told what
she knew about the death of Lord Mayor
MacSwiney. She recently returned from
Ireland. Martin H. Glynn spoke after
her.
The speaking arrangements were not
altogether satisfactory. The crowd back
of home plate would cheer Gov. Smith
so loudly that the crowd in right field
couldn't hear Mr.. Walsh. And Mrs
MacWhorter received such wild applause
in left that Cannon couldn't hear him
self in centre. However, this was
mere incident for the real pandemonium
was to come.
1t was just o'clock when Judge Ro-

For eight and one-half minutes the crowd
did everything short of tearing down the
grand stand and hurting itself at De Va
lera's feet Magistrate McQuade and
John ]. McGraw. holding forth together
far down In the outfield, had sent for In
spector Cahalane, who commanded the
$50 policemen within the grounds. and
told him to do the mpossible--keep the
crowd off the football field. They in
sisted that ruin of the field was In sight
if the throng was not kept back Of the
enclosure.
After the cheering was over something
like order was restored. The crowd had
played Itself out. But inside q minute
1t had regained it's breath and cut loose
again. For three more minutes the
crowd yelled. A white haired man of
considerable avoirdupois performed Sc
ries of handsprings from the centre OF
the field to the right field foul line. A
woman who must have celebrated her
.iftieth birthday ten years ago climbed
nimbly to the top of the visiting team
dugout and began singing something that
nobody heard or recognized. She gripped
a child against her ample body with her
right hand and waved Sim Fein flag
with her left. Somebody brought out n
squad OF little children, who were led o
single file UP and down before the slen-
it all, with his features set in hard lines.

Three HiDdoos Cause Stir.
To heighten the anguish of McGraw
and Magistrate McQuade three Hindoos
gay in orange, green and white turbans
raced in from centre field shoulder to
shoulder with n Sim Fein flag and an
other flag that they insisted was the real
emblem of India They leaped upon the
platform where De Valera stood, and
over his shoulders they threw their BAN
ners. One of them, Sailendra Nath

was pushed aside by Harry Boland, who
also removed the flags.
De Valera swayed the throng like
great musician ruling a symphony. He
tod them of a despatch he had received
which informed him of the the fate of
an Irishman court martialed by British
officers. He said that this man had
been flogged, his nails dragged from
his fingers with pincers, his teeth and
face broken by rifle butt in order to
