They assembled in midfield, shouting and gesticulating. Dr. Bauwens, a German referee, went on to the field and attempted to smooth over matters.
A thousand Peruvian spectators, shrieking and waving flags, leaped over the barriers and rushed on to the field. They kicked and punched the Austrian players. A Peruvian I ,t his hand in his hip-pocket, apparently to draw a revolver, but F . Bauwens seized and overpowered him.
Some of the delegates to the federation demand that the Peruvians be suspended and asked to leave Germany.
