66 INJURED AS
 RAIL COLLAPSES
300 Cheering Boys At Track
 Meet In Armory Fall

YORK, Jan. 19.-During the ,{unning of an event in the annual junior and senior track and ( field tournament in the Thirteenth Coast de- fense armory, Brooklyn, a 1OOfoot sec ton of the. balcony railing collapsed this afternoon, throwing 300 cheering boys to the floor 12115 feet below. Six of them were seriously injured and 60 others were hurt. ,
 . All the spectators on the side of the balcony, where the railing broke were boys ranging from IA to IT years of age, students at the New Utrecht commercial and eastern district high schools. The. running track was be- heath the balcony. To see / the re- suit of the 440-yard run, which was being contested, the boys rose en masse and leande against the railing. It gave way as the runners crossed the finish line.. z
 The balcony was made of iron, but fastened to a wooden base, which gave way against the surging of the boys, and thcse packed against the railing tumbled as a great cataract. Boys in back clutched at those seated behind them bringing many others to the
 floor.
 In the opposite side of the balcony, which extends around the building, were girl students, whose screams were more piercing than those of the boys. Most of them and others Of the 5000 spectators rushed for the exits in a mad scramble but a few onlookers went to the aid of the injured. f Physicians Arrive Quickly
 Two physicians assigned to watch the athletes were among the first to extricate among those scrambled on the floor but in trice 40 physicians aud surgeons with 30 nurses arrived from five neighboring hospitals almost simultaneously with 250 police reserves from, five precinct stations and 80 firemen from two engine companies.
 Many of the fallen untangled them selves and imped off, since the ma jority were only stunned, but score or so, who were unconscious, were taken away in ambulances.
 With the arrival of the ambulances, patrol wagons, fire engines and off cial cars, thousands-ran to the armory surging inside and had to be forced back by the reserves who established lines outside. Among theScrowds were anxious parents and relatives of many of the children.
 The last of the injured had been re moved from the building an hour and q half after the balcony fell.
 Chief of Police Inspector Lahey gave the official number fo the. hurt as 60 and seriously injured as six. He started an Ainyestigation.
