[reporting on the AA convention] ...the president called attention to the fact that he and others of the convention had thought over the matter of the appointment of a committee of conference, which by a tie vote had failed the day before, and he had come to the conclusion that their action had been somewhat hasty. This opinion was endorsed by Mr. Pank of Louisville, who made a motion to reconsider the vote of the previous day on the subject. This motion was seconded by Mr. Simmons of the Athletics, who stated that he had slept on the matter, and he was now in favor of a committee of the kind. On the question being put to a vote it was decided to appoint a committee by a vote of 6 to 2, St. Louis and Cincinnati alone voting against it. Afterwards Mr. Kramer changed his vote to aye, but Mr. Von Der Ahe adhered to his opposition, so the vote remained at 7 to 1 in favor of a committee, and Mr. McKnight appointed Messrs. Pank, Simons and Barnie as the committee.
