From All Over the World
They Come.
NOW FOR THE TUG OF WAR.
The International Contest Will
Be Exciting.
NEW RULES FOR THE BIG PULL.
Complete List of Those Who VIII
Participate, With the Nations
They Represent.

All the teams that are to participate in
the great double international tug-of-war
tournament were photographed yesterday,
and the big tent at Central Park that was
used for the society circus will soon be tie
scene of an unprecedented contest of
strength and pull.
1t was ine-looking lot of specimens OF
manhood that faced the camera. each and
every man confident of the success of his
team.
"Can we pulp" said one member of the
American team. "Can we pull? Well. just
watch US pull. A politician wouldn't be
in it,"
The number of men who will enter the
contest will be 1913. There are two sets of
teams. each set consisting of eight teams
of eight men each.
One of the sets only is limited as to the
weight of its teams. This limit is 1900
pounds to the team.
The programme has been arranged so
that each set will pull on alternate nights.
the limited teams opening the tournament
on Friday, the Sd of August.
Sunday nights there will be no contest
The rules of the contests have been
altered considerably, so that they are en-
tirely different from any others hereto
fore used Different arrangements as to
the division of finances have been made,
too, so that those who enter into the tug
of-war contests may have something else
aside from national honors to work for.
The arrangements relative to the financial
end are built on the cooperative plan.
The management of the affair is to receive
just 30 per cent of the gross receipts, out OF
which per cent all expenses are to be paid,
leaving the other half free of every thing
for those who win. There should be con-
siderable TO pull for.
The rules of the tournament provide
that each team may have two substitutes.
All of the teams have not availed them
selves of this rule, as will be seen by the
following list of teams, with the roster of
