FOOTBALL INCIDENT
PERUVIANS MAKE TROUBLE
MATCH WITH AUSTRIA
LONDON, August 10. The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Sketch" says that the International Football Federation is secretly investigating amazing scenes jn an Association football match between Austria and Peru, following a Peruvian' defender ignoring the ball and kicking an opponent, who went off but returned. The Peruvians, declaring that another player had been sent on as substitute, assembled in midfield, shouting and gesticulating. Dr. Bauwens, a German referee, went on to the field and attempted to smooth over matters, but 1000 Peruvian spectators, shrieking and waving flags, leaped over the barriers, rushed on to the field, and kicked and punched the Austrian players. A Peruvian put his hand in his hip pocket, appr itly to draw a revolver, but Dr. Bauwens seized and overpowered him. Some delegates to the federation demand that the Peruvians be suspended and asked to leave Germany.
