PAGE 2 Victory celebration explodes into riots PITTSBURGH (AP) - A huge World Series victory celebration exploded Sunday night into a rampage of destruc- tion, lotting and sex-in-the-streets. Newspaper men reported two apparent assaults, some of . them in full view of hundreds who cheered the assailants, and displays of public lovemaking, nudity and drinking. At the height of the melee a police desk sergeant said he had calls reporting about a dozen ra that they had such reports. “This isn't a riot, it’s a damn orgy,” a motorcycle policeman said during the disturbance which left the downtown area in shambles. More than 100 persons were injured and 300 others were ar- rested in the melee, which erupted after an estimated 100,000 poured into the down- town area, There was scattered shooting, but only one reported wounding, Hundreds of explesions caused by fireworks often were mis- taken for guishots. STORES LOOTED At least 30 stores were looted and 30 or 40 more were dam- aged. More than a dozen cars were overturned and in some cases burned, Reporters counted another 20 autes with roofs that had been crushed by the destruction-bent crowds, The melee ended 10 hours after it began when flying wedges of riot-equipped police, some with dogs, slammed head- on into the crowds and drove them from the downtown section. The rampage was triggered by the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 2-1 victory Sunday over Baltimore Orioles in basebali’s seventh and deciding game of the World Series in Baltimore. It began as a jubilant but non-violent cele- bration, but quickly turned into a full- blown riot. The wild celebration created the worst traffic jam in the city's history. At ita height, cars were backed up for eight miles on one major freeway into the city and for six miles on an- other. Police finally sealed the downtown area in an attempt to relieve the tieups, but it was four hours before it had any . effect. At least two police cruisers . were commandeered by rioters during the outburst, and police reported that a fire truck was stripped. Several other police cruisers were abandoned after crowd’ ' Shattered." their wins” dows? ~ Hoga EDA | og A crowd tried to overturn two city buses, but settled for breaking their windows.

So wild was the dampage that the Pirates cancelled a planned midtown victory parade, But some of the players, apparently unaware of the cancellation, somehow got downtown anyway | and were mobbed, One of those taken to a hospi- tal was Mrs.Joseph Walton, daughter of Pirates manager Danny Murtaugh. Mrs, Walton, about four months pregnant, was overcome as officials were | trying to organize the victory parade. Hospital officials de- seribed her condition as good, but said she was being kept overnight for observation, Ta addition to setting cars afire, the crowd ignited bonfires in the middle of confetti-strewn Liberty Avenue, one of the city’s main downtown thoroughfares, extinguished quickly by water Bushing from broken. fire hydrants. .
