wASr 4 PURELY AMATEUR RULE
A Feeling that Class II VIII ne Rejected at
the Assembly Meeting.

CHICAGO. Fob. 15.-The decision Of the mem
hers Of tho Illinois division OF tho League OF
American Wheslmen In voting to oppose the
adoption Of Class u at the wheelmen's gather
ing to DO held in Philadelphia next Monday
has rather caused a revulsion of feeling In re-
gard to the policy OF tho adoption OF . makers
amateur class by an amateur organization.
and indications point to the defeat OF the now
rule proposed by tho Racing Board. Members
OF tho Rucing Board refuse to say whether
they think tho rule will DO rejected or not. hut
prominent whselmen who will attend the con-
vention In Philadelphia assert that. while the
new rule has found favor with some. tho OBJ
lection to the makers amateur class will be
su flcient to overthrow Class B.
The manufacturers have expressed them
selves very strongly us opposed to tho new
rule. and 1t Is known that they have been
working for the past month to defeat the
Rncipg Boards plans. The objections raised
by the manufacturer Is that tho adoption OF
class II will be too heavy an expenee Tor him.
40 tho rules now stand. the manufacturers can
dictate his terms to the racing mon. but byt he
adoption OF the new rule. the manufacturer
would be at, the mercy, OF the racing men.
There will. be some change made In, the
much stricter than Class Is.
1t IL said that in Pennsylvania and Connecti-
cut the supporters OF u strict amateur rule are
numerous. and that they will lend their votes
10 the ,Westerners to bury the makers anna
teur rule.
