THE BAILEAME

2,500 Jami-W’ashington
Over 2.500 fight {ans jammed their
way into “’ashlngton street last
night and listened while a blow-for-
blow account of the Wills-Hm fight
received by The Evening Sentinel
over its Associated Pres wire. direct
from the ring side at Boyle's Thirty
Acres, was relayed to them by megs.-
phone.
The sidewalks and street in front
of the office were a. solid mass of hu-
manity and three policemen were
required to keep the street open for
automobile trafl'ic.
There was comedy and tense
drama intermingled in the crowd
outside The Sentinel omce. Nor-
waik‘s negro population was yvell
represented in the gathering.
Directly in front of the oflice was
a. young negro girl wearing a white
hat and a happy face who gave the
impression that she had betrher'last
cent on her race's representative,
Wills.
She mimiked his blows. When he
was hit, her. face spelled anguish.
when he got in a good blow she
was jubilant. She danced and
waved her hands and swayed to the
tune of a joyful music.
She was the center of attention of
a good part of the crowd. When
the flash came—“Wills gets news-
paper decision"—-—she let out a shout
and a whoop that. topped all other
cheers.
To members of his race in Kor-
walk last night Wills was the world's
greatest hero. .
The crowd started to gather in
o‘clock and increased rapidly until
the hour. was over. '
The Sentinei's telephone wires
were kept hot. answering hundreds
of inquiries regarding the outcome
of the fight from the time that the
