Cards and vintage stuff: May 19-22, 1963

I'm not sure what the N.C.A. was, but they held their 80th Annual Convention May 19-22, 1963, and had matchbooks printed up for the affair.

News highlights that occurred during the convention included the assassination of Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis, the election of Israel president Zalman Shazar, Medgar Evers being allowed to deliver an anti-segregation speech on Mississippi TV, the World Chess Championship (won by Tigran Petrosian), the Rome Grand Prix (won by Bob Anderson), and Lamar Hunt announcing that he was moving the Dallas Texans to Kansas City and renaming them the Chiefs.

The local Senators had just broken a six-game losing streak the day before; they now embarked on an eight-game losing streak with four losses in these four days, at home to Detroit and Chicago. Chuck Hinton was one of the few Senators bright spots with five hits, including two doubles and a triple, and two runs scored.
