ment for fellow mud dodgers" in the
SIS line and incidently caused much
speculation Villa, dressed in a typical
wild Western outfit, reached beneath
his vest and took out roll of bills

| bulge. Throwing down 500 bill he
calmly waited for his change and

Shortly before noon a protest from
about thirty tuberculosis patients IN
the jersey City Hospital, half mile
from the arena, reached Tex Rlckard.
The hospital building, which is five
stories high. is the only building from
which the ring could be seen. ork-
men had placed a strip OF canvas
along the ton of the arena on the side
nearest the hospital thus obstructlng
the view. Mr.. Richard had the canvas
removed and the patients enjoyed the
| fight with the aid of field glasses.
Crowd at Peak at Noon
Al 1870 o'clock the crowd reached
it's peak. At that time approximately
fortv persons a minute were passing
| through the $50 gate. In other words,
approximately $4,000 a minute was
altering through one gate alone ana
other gates were bullying and grooming
IN an effort to take care Of the crowds
At 9 o'clock the SIS seats were EXHAUST
ed and hundreds of persons holding
nasteboards for those seats were tenn.
norarily held up at the gate. Many OF
| the latter ticket holders finally were
| admitted to the $40 section, when NAG
not filled SO rapidly. ~,
Two hours before the sound OF the
gong such part of Boyle's Thirty Acres
as was not covered with the arena was
| swirling, shouting mass OF huMailty
and every available policeman was IN
action. Many in the thousands at
tempted to push as near the arena as
possible, so as to keep in touch with
the progress of the fight by the shouts
of the more fortunate inside. At one
time the emergency hospital was
threatened with destruction, so great
was the crush Motorcycle policemen
assisted mounted men in pushing the
crowd back toward Montgomery Ave
nue..
Other sides of the arena were sim
ilar]y attacked and it was with much
difficulty that the police managed to
clear the lanes, which were pressed
| into service a few moments later when
the huge arena began 20 empty.
Arena Skllfully Emptied
! The emptying of the arena, accord
| ing to the police, was nothing short
| of a marvel. The fight, which ended
at approximately 8 80 o'clock, was the
signal, although thousands waited in
an effort to catch another glimpse of
| the principals At $3.50 o'clock the
1 last person left the huge bowl and
within ten minutes carpenters were
busy knocking down certain sections.
A huge crowd congregated near the
exit gate, where an automobile waited
| for the champion.
The task of transporting the huge
crowd back to Manhattan was started
within a few moments after the end
of the fight. The crowd, which took
more than twelve hours in collecting,
was dispersed in less than five, so
rapidly did the police handle the traffic.
AS far as could be ascertained last
night not single person suffered in
jury during the final transportation.
