In addition to the scheduled amateur Basque pelota tournament, a professional tournament was played at Borghese Street, number 26, Neuilly-sur-Seine.[1]
Only two teams entered, from Spain and France, but the French team, which included Maurice Durquetty and Etchegaray, withdrew before the competition: therefore, the tournament was scratched and the Spanish team were awarded first prize.[1][2]
