THEIR PROTEST DIsALLoWED

British Tug Of War Team Appears on
the Field Wearing Spiked Shoes OF
Immense Size, Clearly Contrary to
p Rules Governing Game.
London, July America has pro.
tested the tug of war. Greece and
Germany withdrew from this contest
and the first pull was between the
American team and the second team
of the United Kingdom. The protest
was made on the ground that the
United Kingdom team, contrary to the
regulations. wore prepared shoes
The American team lost the first pull.
The American team had two more
pulls. the conditions being the best
two out of three, but in view of the
cause for their protest they decided
to retire. .-
The English team, who are mem.
bers Of the Liverpool police force,
wore an immense shoe, which could
not under any circumstances be used
for ordinary purposes. In addition to
this every man had the heels of his
shoes encased in steel, which sank
into the turf, while the head man had
spikes fastened. to his shoes. When
the Americans perceived how the reg
ulations were being ignored they
made no effort. Rose, the anchorman,
did not even wind the rope around his
body. When the United Kingdom
team put their weight on the feet of
the Americans, shod with the, ordi-
nary shoes worn by athletes, slipped
over the turf.
Formal Protest Lodged.
Matthew P. Halpin, manager Of the
American Olympic team. who had al
ready protested to the officials, at
once reported the facts to James 3.
Sullivan, United States commissioner
to the games, who Immediately lodged
a formal protest with the association.
The Americans are disgusted at
this treatment. The rules say dis
tinctly that no competitor shall wear
prepared boots or shoes, or boots or
shoes with projecting nails, tips,
points, springs or hollows Of any kind
and that no competitor shall make a
hole in the ground.
Even without the steel heels and
the spikes fastened to the shoes of
the head man the footwear worn by
the United Kingdom team would never
have been permitted if there was any
desire to have fair pull, the Amer
leans declare. ~:
The shoes of the United Kingdom
team were of tremendous size and
even heavier than those worn in the
English navy. The soles were an
inch thick. AS the United Kingdom
team marched out on the field they
actually dragged their feet behind
them, the weight of their shoes was
so great.
The American protest regarding the
tug of war has been disallowed.
