white mark after white mark on the
measuring g-pole in the direction of the
boys who wore the green. Referee Sulli-
van stepped up to the platform, and, as
the cube still kept sliding and the Scotch
sliding over cleat after cleat, the pistol
shot up in the air, report was heard, and
the first tug was ended.
The red lion of ST. Andrew had sub
mtted to the prOwess of the head and
harp in just forty-one minutes, and the
crowd yelled itself hoarse in congratula-
ton, even the supporters Of the Scotsmen
yelling their admiration of the good work
that won.
1t had cost the Irish something to win.
The strain in the last pull was tremendous,
and Tillernan Edminster succumbed to
1t. He tainted dead away amid the huZzas
of victory and the congratulations OF
friends. His brother Mike was also
taken badly m0mentarily, but soon re-
covered.
And then the strident voice of the pool
seller was heard above the din, annOunc-
ing that the English team was selling for
SO. while all he asked for the Italians,
their opponents, was Sc. He got it in
several instances, and he tried hard in the

show their superiority. They pulled one
steady pull from the start bringing the
British cleals of oak up TO within two
notches of the fatal black ceat. They
rested for a moment and started again. A
long pull and a strong pull and the Eng
lishmen were down and out. II was quick
work, and the applause was enthusiastic
America against Germany was the next
contest announced, and the orchestra
played patriotic airs, while the generous
crowd was planking upits good $40 apiece
on the boys of freedom against any So that
German supporters might feel inclined to

ing the Germans on their side of the fence
with that.
