manent chairman of the Republican
State Convention.
Martin to Speak.
The keynoter and temporary
chairman will be Representative
Miller of the 1st District who won
denomination to the House without
party opposition.
Speaker Martin has accepted ar
invitation to deliver the principal
convention address.
The party will send 16 delegates
and 16 alternates to the national
convention in Philadelphia. 1t will
name eight presidential electors.
Customarily. the six district dele
cations nominate two national dele
gates and two alternates, and one
elector. The convention then chooses
four additional delegates and four
alternates at large and two electors

organization will cement the 16
Maryland votes in a block to be
cast as the leaders think most ad-
ViSable.

Or March Is, The entire squad of
twenty-four players turned out for
baseball at Wesley Junior Col

and catchers have been practicing
indoors since March 10 and are be-
ginning to shape up nicely.
With nine returning veterans of

outstanding. The returning mem
bers include: Andrew Foltz, Lee
Sipple, Gordon Massey, pitchers;
Lon Gaughman, Ray Book, Jim
Timmons, Bob Booth, infield; Ridg-
ley Vane, Cab Chuchanini, outfeld.
Promising first year men in
elude: Pitchers Nelson Payne,
promising south-paw; Mike Mag
gio, who pitched two years in Nor
ristown, Pa; and Roy Kemp, who
pitched three years of high school
ball at Milford, Delaware, and
shows great promise for this year.
The infielders include: Gordon
Walker, who has two years behind
him at Linden, New Jersey; Tom
CALI, three years of high school
ball and one year of American Le-
gion ball in New York State; and
Don Aquilino, with two years of

has the inside track on the catch
ing job with Joe BOrst, a neWcOm-
er, pushing him hard. Other prom
ising men are: Jack Reynolds, out
fielder from Trenton, New Jersey,
and Jack Title, a promising small

This squad is undertaking a

The college does not expect toe
many wins from this squad but ex-
poets a lot of close, well-pIayeC
baseball games. The spirit of the
squad is all hustle and pepper. Sc
it looks as though Wesley once
again will be a spirited nine on the
field this year.
