[reporting on the AA special meeting of 3/1-3/3/1886] [reporting on the amended constitution] Section 10 is new and is as follows: “This Association shall be the sole judge as to the qualifications of its members. It shall have full and absolute power to determine the number of clubs forming the Association, and to increase or lessen its membership as may be deemed best for its interests. But no club shall deprived of its membership in this Association except by a two-thirds vote of the Association at a regular or special meeting, and then only after opportunity has been given by due notice to the president, secretary or other representative of said club to show cause why it should not be deprived of such membership.” This is the result of the lesson learned in the Wiman-Metropolitan case, and is especially referred to his Honor, Judge Thayer.
