If you read the story, it was Burroughs who was initially in trouble when somebody ran out and stole his hat and he tried to resist. So the personnel on the bench went out to rescue him and everybody else, which explains why Burroughs is unarmed and unhatted. (He's clutching his recovered hat in his left hand.) Pretty funny that Martin --- who undoubtedly ordered the charge --- ends up behind the front lines. Billy might have liked to scrap one-on-one, but he knew that in a mob war the little guy gets trampled. Looking at his staff, the bloodthirsty coach on the left appears to be Charlie "Swede" Silvera, who turns 90 in October.
