of the professionals. The result was
reached by the repeal of all the classes
in the league constitution crea ting
classes A and 3, and defining the sta
tus of the men who formerly belonged
to them. The convention took this
radical step during its afternoon Ses-
sion, while considering a large num-
Der of amendments to the constitution
proposed by the racing board and de-
signed to further regulate and define
the positions of class B men. There
were a dozen or more of these amend
ments and several of them had been
adopted when Mr.. Mott of this city,
offered an amendment abolishing class
B entirely.
1t was carried almost without a dis
senting voice if indeed there was. any,
and the chair decided that it was
unanimous
A resolution was then adopted to the
effect that all members of the league
who are at this time class B men shall
in the future be treated as amateurs,
similar in every resnect to class A
men, and that all others shall be deem
ed professional.
The penalty for any act of profess
sionalism will therefore in the future
be practical expulsion from the league.
The result gave the most satisfac-
ton. The other important steps of the
day were the offer and acceptance of
a proposition from Consul Potter of
New York, to submit to arbitration
his law suit against the L. A. w,
growing out of the publication of The
Bulletin and which has long been
pending in the New York courts and
the refusal of the league to abandon
control of racing.
More than half of the proposed
amendments to the constitution were
disposed of when the convention ad-
journed tonight to attend theatre
party at Ford's opera. house and there
is no doubt it will conclude its de-
Operations tomorrow Many of the
delegates have already left for home
ana it is not likely that tomorrow's
attendance will be large.
