SUMNER BASEBALL

suits obtained at the special meet

BILE which has upset the association
the time being, inasmuch as the de-
cis!ons arrived at We're all in the
nature of a compromise. In SO far
as clearing UP the summer baseball
evil is concerned. the action taken
WAS nil,
one Of the most important pieces
Of legislation, however, was that
making possible the passage OF mat
ter pending before the conference by
a majority rather than a two thirds
vote. Minnesota, however. was un-
able TO force the adoption OF a sum
mer baseball rule making scholar
ship the only basis of eligibility. The
members OF the conference stood
evenly divided upon the question,
and Minnesota was unable to force
the issue. The comproms e effected
provides for the following rules:
A rule allowing students TO play
bail on summer town or semi profess
sioual teams without compensation
for services. students not allowed to
play on any team under the national
agreement or in outlaw leagues.
Gave power to faculties to rein
state athletes who have lost their eli
gibility through minor infractions Of
conference rules before entering coll
lege.
Repealed resolution prohibiting In
tersectional contests.
Adopted employment OF persons re-
ceiving pay from professional base
bali clubs for services in any capa-
city.
Approved application Of Ohio State
University for membership and APP
pointed committee to investigate.
Universities will be allowed three
weeks to investigate eligibility of
their players after protests are
lodged.

TO l6 the rules committee OF the conven-

II shall be the rule of this convention
that all states which have been Instructed
by their respective state Democratic con-
ventions or by a state Democratic Presi-
dental preferential primary shall follow
those instructions so long as majority
OF the delegates from such state are OF the
opinion that such instruction is applicable.
The Montana committeeman, NJ p Bald
vim offered suggestion that hereafter a
majority OF the national convention. instead
OF two-thirds. should be required to nomi-
nate the President. Chairman Covington
ruled that u was out OF order and should
properly be acted upon by the resolutions

VIII SON MEN VOTE
DOWN THE UNIT RULE.

The report much 70 ths surprise o. the
convention generally. was adopted by viva
yoce vote, without opposition
Mr. Covington then presented tbs me-
jority supplemental report Of the rules
committee, making the unit rule a rule
Of the convention. As reported, the rule
would make q unit instruction by q state
convention binding on a delegation II a ma
5or!ty OF the delegation favored any par
ticular candidate
Representative Henry, Of Texas, pre-
Sented z minority report. which would
except from the operations Of this rule
such delegations as are elected under state
primary rules by Congress districts
After both reports had been presented
Chairman Covington opened the debate in
favor Of the majority report. He argued
that as the two-thirds rule was true JEFF
fersonian Democratic doctrine, and as
without the unit rule the two-thlrds rule
would not be practicable, the convention
should maintain the unit rule, despite the
popular primary in Congress districts.
While MI Covngton was speaking the
thunderstorm which had been threaten
ing all evening broke. 4 heavy downpour
OF rain clattered nosily on the roof Of
the big armory. Mr.. Covington's srgu-
rnent was short and its conclusion was

Representative Henry then opened the
debate for the minority report He said
this report would in no way interfere with
the operation OF the unit rule as it had
obtained heretofore Whe delegates were
elected as heretofore By state conven-
tion, MI Henry said, the old unit rule
would still obtain But IN cases where
primary laws provided for the election Of
delegates by direct vote, he held, the PEG
pie should be allowed 70 express their
preference
Nj Henry cited the primary laws Of
Illinois and Ohio the delegations from
both of which states were in dispute
Let this convention make no mistake TO

Mr. Henry This IS no time for the Dem
