Into the Auditorium last night to witness
tha opening program of the International
tug-ot-war being staged all this week by
Jack Prince.
While the eight teams were pulling and
tugging and tussling, national hymns of
tha various countries resounded from
rani net to roof, and the supporters of the
different teams fairly outdid themselves
In encouraging their favorlea.
Denmark. Sweden and Germany were
the victors last night, while the fourth
match, between Bohemia and Ireland,
aaa declared a draw.
Th opening pull occurred between Den
mark and America. The firemen's team
represented America, and until last night
the, firemen ranked well up among the
favorites. But the knights of the nossle
didn't stand much chanca . when the
huaky Danes began to pull. For four
minutes tha Copenhagen crew was con
tent to lay at rest but when Captain
Emit Tolbad gave the signal and Anchor
man Hans Mets swung himself Into the
saddle. It was all off with the fire lad
dlos. The Danea gathered In the necessary
five feet of rope In Just four minutes and
eleven seconds.
Dlaaate Over Resalt.
Following the Inmark-America
match came the Bohemians and Irish.
And that was tha big pull of tha even
ing. For the full twenty minutes those
sons of brawn labored on the hemp. Dur
ing tha first part of tha pull the Irish
had tha advantage. They had a foot on
tha Bohemians. But as the period began
to closa Captain Hlha'a men went to It
with a will and when the time was up
Referee La Bron decided the Bohemians
had an Inch advantage and so awarded
them the pull.
Then started the argument. Captain
Lynch of the Irish ins'sted Big Bill
Ilukuff, well known wrestler, who sat la
anchor for Bohemia, had grasped tha
slats of the ladder with his hands. This
Is not permlssable aeoordlng to the rules.
Lynch claimed the attention of Jack
Prinoa had been called to this violation
of the rules. Prince, however, pointed
out that he had nothing to do with de
ciding matches.
Settled ny atalaa.
After much argumeut pro and con by
Lynch and lUha aa to whether Hokuft
did use his hands, the matter was finally
left to the captains of the other teams.
They decided. Inasmuch aa there was a
distinct dispute that the match should
be called a draw and that it should be
pulled over again on the laat night of
the tournament or after the tournament
fas over. Lynch and Klha agreed to th a
so every thing was settled amicably.
The match between the Swedes and the
Scotch-English was the third event. Alao
it was the briefest. It took the Swede
Just twenty-two seconds to yank the
8cotch-Engllsh the five fett and It was
all over.

The last match, which waa between Ger-

to pull them twenty-eight Inches in the
twenty-minute period.

owner of the Newark Federal league
franchise, will not guarantee all Federal
league contracta nor will he dispose of
all tha Federal league players,", said
James A. G 11 more, president of the Fed
eral league tonight
'There has been an erroneous opinion
ever since tha peace meetings that Mr.
Sinclair will guarantee .the salaries of
all Federal league players and It seems
time for ma to deny It. I have received
many letters from Federal league play
ers, asking If It were so that Sinclair had
guaranteed their salaries and I replied
It was not so. The only contracts Mr.
Sinclair guarantees are those of tho
Newark club.
"There also la a wrong Impression that
Sinclair will dispose of all the player
of the Federal leagua. He will dispose
of tha players of tha Newark, Kansas
City and Buffalo clubs, as well as Kauff,
Magea and Anderson of tha Brooklyn
club. However, Sinclair has not agreed
to guarantee tha contracta of players be
longing to tha defunct Kansas City and
Buffalo clubs. Such contracts revert to
