ANGRY CROWD
BRITISH FOOTBALLERS AT PRAGUE (Rec. '8.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 26. An angry crowd leapt the fences at a Prague football ground and stopped play in a match between Derby County and the Czechoslovak Sparta team, says the Prague correspondent of the Associated American Press. The crowd milled around the players until the police cleared the field. The crowd’s anger was aroused when it was thought that a Czechoslovak player had, been kicked while he lay on the ground after a collision with a Derby player. There was a long debate before deciding to continue the game, which was drawn 1-1.
