ng night was a successi in
ndance. For some time it
looked as if the international tournament
would be brought to a sudden aud acri-
moniOus close. The trouble began late in
the afternoon, when Referee Frank p
Prial disqualified the German, Vernyan,
for looking back as he came in at the head
of the riders in the two-mile race. After
ward Prial disqualified Fred Goodman for
fouling a man in his heat in the three-min-
ute class.
& convention of the leaders in classes
A and B was hurriedly called. The pro-
fessionals joined in. The men positively
refused to ride if Prial continued to be
the referee. Then there was consulta-
ton between the managers of the tourna-
ment. A lew minutes later it was an
nounced that Prial would resign his office.
Theodore Merseles of the Hudson County
Wheelmen was chosen in his place.
