The Stockholm Police tug-of-war team

Remarks

Originally five teams were registered, which were supposed to play an "everyone against everyone" tournament. For unknown reasons, the teams from Austria, Bohemia and Luxembourg withdrew before the start of the tournament. Thus there was only one competition between the Stockholm police and the defending champions of the City of London Police , which the Swedes won 2-0.
