Beosoat for Decision.
Captain W. Jones, Assistant secretary of
the association, gave out this Information,
which has Rot yet been announced here.
He concluded his statement as follows:
The newspapers of the different countries
have to decide the matter to their own sat
isfaction. America, probably more than
any other nation, would have cause for
complaint If we attempted, to award a
championship. Tlia distance to the United
States Is gieat. and we did not expect the
Amerlran would hove as many entries as
the United Kingdom. In some events, such
as plgpon shooting and lawn tennis,
America Is not represented. Therefore, it
poinis wer? awarded for every ev.-nt, the
Jnlted Kingdom would have a walkover.
The Americans competing In the Stadium
games are simply going in for the cham
plonshlps In the field events, and they urt
counting their points by the American
methods, five for firsts, throe for seconds
and one for thirds.
Tog ot War Protested.
America protested the tug-of-war. Greece
and Oermany withdrew from tlila contebt,
and the first pull was between the Amer
ican team and the second team of the
United Kingdom.
The protest waa made on ths ground that
United Kingdom team, contrary to the
regulations, wore prepared shoes, t The
American team lost the first pull.
Ths American team had two mors pulls,
the conditions being the best two out of
three, but In view of the cause for their
protest they decided to retire. The Amer
ican team was composed of W. O. Bur
roughs. Chicago Athletic aaseciatlon; A. K.
Dearborn, New York Athletic club; John
J. Flanagan. Irish-American Athletla club:
M. J. McQrath, New York Athletic club;
Ralph Rose, Olympic Athtio club, San
Francisco; Let J. Talbott, Irish-American
Athletic club; W. W. Cos, Jr., . Boston
Athletic association, and. at. F. Horr, Irish
American Athletic club.
The English team, who are members of
the Livuipool police force, wore an Im
mense shoe, which could not under any
circumstances be used for ordinary pur
tHises. In addition to this every man had
the heels of his shoes encased In steel,
which sank Into the turf. "
Americans Make No Effort.
The head man had spikes fastened to' his
shoes. When the Americans porcelved how
the regulations were being Ignored, they
Made no effort. Rose, the anchor man.
did not even wind the rope around his
body. When the United Kingdom team
put their weight on. the feet of the Ameri
cans, shod with ths ordinary shoes worn
by athletics, slipped over ths turf.
Matthew P.- Halpln, manager of the
American Olymric team, who had already
protested to ths officials, at once reported
the facts to James E. Sullivan. United
States commissioner to ths games, who
Immediate!)' fedged a formal porteat with
the association.
The Americans are disgusted at this
treatment. Ths rules say distinctly th.it
no competitor shall wear prepared boots
or shrtes or boots cr shoes with projecting
nails, tips, points, springs or hollows of any
kind, and that no competitor aha?) make
a hole. In the ground.
Team Received with Cheers.
Ths American tesm. which was escorted
onto the ground by Msrtln J. Sheridan,
Iilsh-Ainerlcan Athletic club, with Rose,
the San Francisco giant, bringing up te
rear, was received with a vociferous wel
come from oil parts ot the groan, thels
appearance evoking the . greatest ndnilr.

Even Without the steel heela an1 lh
spikes fastened to the shoes of the head
man. the footwear worn by the l.'nltl
Kingdom would never l.ave been permitted
If there was any desire to have a fair
pull, tho Americans declare. The shoes of
the United Klncdom team were of tre.
mendous 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 welt'ht
of thoir shoes was so treat
Nine Points More tat England.
The concluding pulls In the tug-of-war
between the three United Kingdom teams
will occur later this afternoon. Tle victory
of the United Kingdom in ths first pull
gives the United Kingdom another win and
nine additional points In the field events.
Mr. Sullivan. Barlow 8. Weeks and the
other members of the American committee
expressed tiie fear that this unfair treat
ment of the Americans would dishearten
tha team. Mr. Sullivan, after he has ex
amined the shoes worn by the team of the
United Kingdom, said:
"It Is absolutely illegal, and there la no
JuKilflcation to allow men to anchor them
telves with shoes such as the United King
dom wore."
