Ball Players All A. W. 0. L.
AT Fight, Game Is Called Off
Jersey Cty-Newark Fans Wait in Vain; Jobless Box.
ing Enthusiast Goes Hungry to See Bout and
Collapses in Arena; Other Sidelights of Mill

A crowd Of baseball fans sat in the
erandstand Of the Jersey City ball
mark yesterday waiting for the game to
begin.
Game time slipped by and not
player had appeared in either the Jer-
sew City or NewarS, uniform.
~Play BALI" yelled the inpatient
~coters. Bring out them teams and
play BALL"
The announcer solved the problem of
the missing athletes when he strobe to
the nlxee half All hour after the umpire
was to have called play in the first
eame of a scheduled double-header.
Lifting his megaphone to his lips, he
shouted.
"To-day's games postponed. All the
players Of both teams arc at the big
fight.
The fans got their money back
One of the most enthusiastic fans in
the big arena was Charles Rosenblum,
a seventeen-year-old newsboy of Mem
phis, who propelled himself through
the gates in wheelchair, Both of
Charles legs were amputated above
the knees. He was accompanied by his
mother. who saw New York for the
first time through her crippled boys
generosity. They occupied $3.50 seats.
An indication of the ardor Of the
fight fan was found in the case of John
Curwin, of 240 Pacific Street. Jersey
City, VIZ collapsed in his seat in the
$3.50 block He told attendants who re-
vived him that he was without a job
and went without dinner Friday night
could buy tcktt for the scrap. He
was taken to Jersey City Hospital, his
craving unsatisfied.
What is title 60 without its man Of
mystery? One turned up yesterday.
He was peculiar chap, who might have
beer a Mexican. He refused to talk to
anybody Dressed in cowboy clothes
a black sombrero, blue overalls, leather
jerkin, blue flannel shirt and black
shoes-he carried roll of bills as big
as loaf of bread in his shirt pocket
He made no effort to conceal the
money, even when warned that it might
be lifted.
And there was a woman of mystery
too. She was French woman, dressed
in black, and held place up near the
front of the $3.50 line, where she sat
on soap box, She spoke no English
and continually repeated Carpenters
name. She frustrated an effort by pho
tographers to shoot" her picture by
drawing a black cape UP under her eyes.
A oliver" bowled up to one of the
gates just after daybreak, and two
husky sons Of the West alighted They
we're Louis Haskell, of Des Moines
Iowa, and Kid Griffin, boxer, of the
same town, and they had driven all the
way across country in their Ford to be
in at the finish.
1t was day of jubilation for shop
keepers Of Jersey City along the route
to the Acres" Most of the spectators
had left their homes too early to break
fast, and they swamped the eating
places near the arena. Other stores
also did a land Office business, and
Mayor Hague added new laurels to his
collection. 1t was hard to convince the
