Tomorrow night the amateur commits
sion will make final decision on the ques-
lions which have been the main subject
OF discussion among local amateur play
ers and managers alike during the past
week. Each Of the resolutions presented
by the rules committee at the meeting
last week will be taken up in order and
placed before the commission for final
action. During the week meetings have
been held by the different leagues In
which it has been decided how each
president would vote. and those organi-
cations which have not yet discussed the
question will take it up tonight at the
regular league meeting.
One or two OF the proposed amendments
have not received much attention from
the majority Of those interested, but
the three that have come up for the main
relating to. the barring of those who
have played professional ball during the
last two years: second, the clause which
proposes dividing the league into class
starts. and third. the proposed amend
ment which will keep teams from jump
int from one league to another indi-
In regard to the first question there
is not much chance for it to get through,
especially in its present form, as the ma
jority OF the circuits are not In favor OF

prevent the playing Of men who have
been playing professional ball during
the most Of the season. and returned TO
the city near its end, and 1t Is highly
probable that some kind Of a, compromise
will be reached in the framing Of rule
OF this character. It Is possible though,
that enough strength will be mustered to
send 1t through as IT stands
The resolution to divide the leagues
into the different classes seems to have
found favor among those which former
" have been cia ssed under the head OF
class A teams. but IL not liked by those
which have come under the second head
AS the class teams are in the ascend
ency it would look az though that meas
ure also will find rocky travelling. when
it comes up for its Anal sentence.
The other measure In regard to rule
to prevent teams jumping from one
every quarter, and 1t is certain that some
such article will be added to the const-
tuition.
Whether or not the questions in which
managers and players are most vitality
interested passes. 1t is certain that they
will find plenty Of opposition, and before
they are either passed or defeated, there
is mighty apt to be some warm discus
sion as to the merits OF each.
