Doors Closed During Each Number
TUG OF WAR.
The international tug Of war turna-
ment opened last night under favor
able auspices and an indications point
10 a great success. Long before the
first pull was called Foard & Stokes
hall was crowded to the doors a
large proportion OF the spectators be-
ing ladies. The Finn band Of 2l
pieces discoursed some excellent
music at the opening Of the event and
during the intervals between pulls.
after s o'clock, the officials
Of the tournament, Judges Lebeck
and Olof Anderson, Referee Chief
Gammal and Timekeeper H. +. Prael
to their stations on the plat
form while the band played spirited
air. The captains Of the different
teams were called forward and after
being introduced by Judge Anderson
they examined the paraphernalia and
expressed themselves as being per-
iectly satisfied and the first contest
was soon on. The Austrian and AM
erican team were the first to meet
and evoked enthusiasm by their APP
pearance. They were soon at it and
il did not take long for the Austrians
to show the results OF their training
and weight and the Americans the
lack OF the same requisite. The
American team were much lighter
han their opponents and have not
lad the opportunity to properly con-
lition themselves and as result the
contest was short and sweet they be-
ng pulled over the cleats in one-half
i minute,
Great interest was manifested in
he pull between Sweden and Fin
and, The Finland team won the
last year the Swedes
'eing third. Determined to do bet
er this year the Sweden team was
trengthened and the contest between
hese teams was looked upon as the |
whole show" The partisans Of both
cams made themselves much in evil
.ence as their favorites marched to
he platform, by continued applause.
When the word "go" was given both |
cams settled down to business and
fter hard pull Sweden gained two
iches on Finland and much as their
pponents endeavored to overcome
he lead no change showed on the in
icator. For fourteen and one-half
ninutes the immense strain was kept
p on the contestants without the
inns regaining their lost ground.
