T ONDON, May 81 R).-The coun-
Gil Of the International ANA
teur Athletic Federation today
decided to take measures tight
ening Enforcement of the rules against
professionalism In the 1892 Olympics
at Los Angeles.
S. Stankovitz of Hungary, a member
Of the council, will go to Los Angeles
soon to cooperate In the Olympic ar
rangements and to make sure that the
meet Is run in accordance with the
I. A. A. F. rules.
AS result of complaints about laxi-
ty in regard to the rule that no foreign
athlete may compete in the track events
without a permit from his own country,
1t was decided to strictly enforce this
rule and call the attention of the various
athletic associations Of the world to its
provisions.
1t was also decided that an athlete
during his stay in foreign country
shall be under the control of the ath-
letic association Of that country.
The council made several decisions
governing the 1882 Olympics Among
them were: That no professional
starters will be permitted; the hurdles
used shall meet l. A. A. F specifications,
and only three entries from each coun-
try will be permitted in the marathon
race and the 50,000-meter walk.
