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 - one from Spain and one from France - but the French team of Maurice Durquetty and Etchegaray withdrew on the afternoon of the single contest due to a disagreement about the rules. Therefore, the contest was scratched and the Spanish team were awarded first prize.[1][2]
