The Gridiron Rag Comes to Murcia
In Murcia the scene outside the American vice-consul’s office grows volatile as Spanish mobs rally against the American flag and U S Cuba policy. A young American, Jack Talcott, witnesses and intervenes as stones fly and a climber attempts to seize the flag, while Major Talcott and others organize defense amid cries of Death to the Americans and Down with the gridiron rag. The mob’s assault culminates with the flag’s protection by the boy and a rapid police intervention, ending the immediate danger.
