LANDIS MARCHED MELf THROUGH • CBUZjJIi MOB Judge Displayed Spirit in Face of Uncalled for Action of Crowd. By WILLIAM SLAVEXS M'XT'TT United Xews Staff Correspondent XEW YORK. Oct. 6.—Judge Kenesaxv Mountain Landis, the man who find John D. Rockefeller $29,000,000 escaped with his life, was mildly by some two or three thousand bourgoise fans at the Polo Brrounds after the tie game between ■the Yanks and Giants that was called fcotj, account of what Umpires Hilde■brandt and Klem claimed was darkfness at the end of the tenth inning. It was just 15 minutes to 5 when Rhe game was called ofT. To the layman in the stands it looked as though ■khere was light enough to play for at ■least another half hour, and perhaps V longer. Interest in the pastime was ' at fever height. The Yanks had i tied the score in the eighth inning, and it looked as though the capacity crowd present was going to be lucky enough to see the drama that happens seldom in the lifetime of a faithful fan —a world series tie game going far into extra innings. It certainly did not seem, to the

fan in the stands, that it was too dark to continue the play, and nearly 40,000 people who had paid their money to get in had the same thought at the same time. The thought was this: They have cut the series to I seven games this year, and, having had a capacity crowd two games in succession, they are taking this means of stretching the affair to a sevenj game series. Now it may be that thought was j erroneous: that it was an Unjust susI picion. But that was the thought of nearly all the men and women In the Polo Grounds who had paid their good money to get in, and the thing they thought was the thing to which they gave tongue. Within the space of a second the crowd at the Polo Grounds changed from cheering enthusiasts rooting for their respective favorites to an angry potential mob condemning both teams and the map- , agements thereof and standing in | their seats .to boo their displeasure. Crowd Went Mad The crowd was mad. There was jno doubt about that. They were good and mad. But the crowd had no one |on which to center its anger. The umpires had taken it on the run to the clubhouse with the players be- ; fore the fans fully sensed what hap I pened. The bulk of the fans went l grumbling out. But some three thou- | sand of the more angry remained on the diamond, milling aimlessly about ’ and growing more angry by the minute. And then someone in that angry crowd espied the white head of Judge Landis in a box just to the right of the home bench. The judge and his wife were lingering, talking to friends >vho passed and stopped to lean over

the rail and shake hands. Someone in the crowd said: " “I thought Landis was going so clean up baseball. Fine clean-up he's made. He was the guy that was going to cut it to a seven-game series. Fine seven-game series this is. He’s like all the rest of them. They ad vertise seven games and then gyp us." And then somebody booed at Landis and someone else hissed. The mob moved towards Landis’s box, booing and hissing. They blamed the judge for what had happened. Was Game “You scoundrels!’’ he shouted at them, and shook his fist in their faces. They booed and shouted the louder and jostled the old gentleman more roughly. The police closed about the judge and his wife, who was still laughing as though it were all a great joke, but he waved them aside, ordered them to leave him and cleaved his way close again through the mob that grew steadily more threatening. The judge at last began striking out right and left with his cane and the crowd retaliated by wadding programs into balls and throwing them in his face. For the last hundred yards to the entrance to the clubhouse the judge was brandishing his fist constantly, strik ing about him with his heavy cane and screaming defiance at the mob swirling about him, a defiance shouted in words that could not be heard for the shouts of the angry crowd. The shouts of the crowd were obscene and profane. As the white-haired old gentleman neared the bleacher where they overhang the big entrance way to the clubhouse the bleacherites stood and yelled insults at hmi. The old man stopped, a striking figure among the snarling mob, shook his fist in the faces of the bleacher seat holders and

shouted a defiance .at them that was probably a classic of denunciation but which is lost to history. I have never witnessed a more utterly unfair and disgraceful exhibition than that given by the mob of w T ho assailed a white-haired old man and his wife so viciously. The judge was finally gotten away and out to his car, where, after he recovered his composure, ho smilingly said that such things had happened before and amounted to nothing. It
