Game Review
The Blues moved up to fifth on the ladder after this victory over St Kilda in a dour match at Princes Park. After days of heavy rain, the muddy ground helped the Saints. They led Carlton by a point at the last break, but couldn't hold out the Blues' finishing surge and went down by 9 points.
POLICE GALLOP TO END FOOTBALL ROW
"Mounted police galloped onto the Carlton football ground this afternoon to settle a wild brawl between players, umpires, spectators, and trainers. The melee occurred soon after half-time in the Australian-rules match between Carlton and St.Kilda. It was one of the wildest exhibitions seen at a match in Melbourne for nearly 10 years. The free-for-all began when a Carlton player fell writhing on the ground. Within minutes a St.Kilda player flattened a spectator who jumped the fence, a Carlton defender hurled a trainer over his shoulders and more than 20 players wrestled on the rain-drenched, muddy ground." (Truth (Sydney) May 24 p2)
