A few of the candidates for positions have been working out In the gym. The Spartan pitchers look better than last year although they haven't been thruwinK hard as of yet. Don Kik, with a last year's record of five wins and one defeat, plus Mtrlke-outa In eight games and a 9-lnnlng, no-run. no-hll game, will be depended on for winning a good deal of the games this year. Bill Radeck. who showed a great deal of speed although lacking a little control, will be a regular on the mound for the local team this year Bill finished with a record of one win and one loss with 13 strike-outs. His beat game was the tilt at Grant last year. BUI went the distance, fanning two. Also on the mcund will be Mike Felchten- blner.

MARTIN KELLY Martin Kelly, well known Sparta* resident, this week was elected vice-president of Continental Mo- tors Corporation, in charge of In- dustrial relation* at the company's two plants In Muskegon. Mr. Kelly has held the title of director of industrial relations since 1948. Ills election to a vlce- prssldency of ihe largest corpora- tion In Western Michigan, with the responsibility of representing its management in dealing with the many day-to-day problems that Hre of concern to Continental* thousands of employee*, is said by hi* associates to be evidence of the fact that he still understands and talks the language of the man In the street. Martin Kelly quit hi* Job In Sparta In ISi: tc tits £ "war Job" at Continental.

The sompany is expanding It* military engine production facilities and. at this time, is the leading producer of tank engines in the country.

The offer was accepted, and the bonus condition* accepted, for by the end of the first year Continental was employing <00 men. Not only has the company grown Into one of the country's large cor- porations. but Its move to Muske- gon is the underlying reason for that city's being one of the most important foundry centers in the United States.
