BARRACK RESENTED.
QUEENSLAND SOCCER MATCH BROKEN UP. SPECTATORS JOIN PLAYERS IN FREE FIGHT. (Received Sunday, 6.30 p.m.) BRISBANE, August 23. A free fight, in which players and spectators alike participated, caused the abandonment of a Soccer match between Y.M.C.A. and Rovers. Early in the game, the barracking of a woman spectator annoyed one of the Y.M.C.A. players, and he commenced to shout back to her from the field. Apparently one of his remarks offended an opposition player and blows were exchanged. In a moment practically all members of the two teams were involved in the fracas and the crowd swarmed on to the ground to join in the fray. A considerable time elapsed before order was restored, after which the referee called the match off.
