Praise for New Britain.

Tn discussing the present festival, MT. Nilsson, who has attended conven- tions all over the country, gave un- limited praise to the New Britain committee and declared without hes- itation that New Britain is the best city he has yet seen in which to hold a convention. There is no doubt that New Britain's committees should re- ceive praise and the general execu- tive committee, John P. Peterson, president; John A. Johnson secretary; and Hiding Nelson, treasurer. should be given all the credit possible. In perfecting the plans for the conven- ton and carrying them through to their successful termination they were ably assisted by the various sub-com- mittees, the personnel of which have been published previously.

The object in view for the erection

keeping from an architectural and prac-

wealth of the States, is to have an ex-

manner of the natural resources of each

OF state buildings of temporary character,

HAGERSTOWN, Ind, April SAC.
eording to plans of B. L. Lichtenstadt
manager of the Hagerstown semi-pro
baseball club, Hagerstown will have
one of the best clubs In the history of
the sport. With practically all of last
years veterans on deck and ready to
take the field, the team is ready to
open the season
Preliminary workout has been set
for next Sunday. In case the weather
is agreeable at this time, Liehtenstadt
will have his full lineup in toys.
Lichtenstadt, with field captain
Bobby Bryson, will direct the destinies
of the team.
For battery, Geisler, wellknown
pitcher and Bob Bryson, on the receiv-
ing end of the deal, should comprise a
good bet. Both are experienced men.
In the infield, Witcherman, at the
initial sack; Waltz, at the keystone
point; Hollaw, at short, and Abel at
the hot corner, seem one sweet COM
bination on paper. This infield has
played together several seasons.
For the garden spots, Flood, Foyst
and Gywnn are dependables. All are
clouters. Outside of these regulars
Brance, Freeman and Wine are men
with ability to step in and fill regu-
lar berth.
