Brooklyn Florist Drops Dead at Nint.h Inning Wallop, Brooklyn, June 2.—Loyalty to the Brooklyn baseball team and the dra- matic circumstances that surrounded Zach Wheat's home run drive over the ifenee in the ninth inning of yester- cay's game proved fatal for Chaun- cey Martin, a florist of Brooklyn, liv- ing at 284 Graham avenue. He dropped dead of heart failure while cheering the prowess or the Robin's left flelder. - Martin had been among the most excited of all the 20,000 people in the stands.during the whole game. When Wheat came to bat in the ninth, with the score 4 to 3 against the Brooklyn team and two out—and two strikes on the batter—and then tied the score and made victory possible, Mar- tin ¢limbed into his seat and began to wave his arms. In the midst of it he dropped to the ground. Dr. Reeve of the Swedish hospital pronounced him dead.
