waged here today to gain public

Harry M. Nice was asking the peo-
pie of the State to reserve judy
ment on his plans for renAodeling

In a speech read by his nephew,
Deeley K. Nice, before a meeting
last night of the Company for the
Restoration of Colonial Annapolis,
the governor expressed his belief
work being done to transform the
executive mansion would bring it
into harmony with the ideals of
the organization.
Governor Nice, ill in a Balti.

speech:
II ask the people of the State
to suspend judgment upon what
I have done until the govern
ment house may have been COM
pleted."

membership is open to any resi-
dent of Annapolis, will be incor-
porated as a result Of a resolution

Looks Bad for Klein.

CHARLIE GRIMMS experiment
~ with Phil Cavarretta in the out
field strengthens opinion that the
Cub manager is not satisfied with
Chuck Klein. Cavarretta might be-
come a star in the outfield. He still
is young enough to be adaptable to
the position and could better con-
serve his none too great store OF
strength in the pasture than on flrst
base. Augie Galan was an ordinary
second baseman when he came up to
the Cubs, but in the outfield developed
into a real star. Perhaps GRIMM
might be as lucky in shifting Cavar-
retta. Trying Cavaretta in the out.
field indicates Grimm's intention OF
playing first base regularly.
