Youth Poses as Officer
q Days in Army Post

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, April 7.-Nattily attired
in the uniform of an Army officer,
FELTON, Harris, colored. spent % days
at Fort Devens, eating and sleeping
there.
But today the lS-year-old former
Columbus (Ga) truck driver was
held in $1,000 bail on a charge Of
wearing the uniform unlawfully.
F. B. I. agents testified in Fed
eral District Court that FELTON,,
dressed as a second lieutenant,
walked INTO the Army post and was
received as a genuine officer.
The fort public relations Office said
that knowledge of military life ac-
quired during service in a Southern
camp and the fact there are hun
dreds Of colored officers at Fort
Devens made it possible for the
youth to evade detection.
Found asleep in an automobile in
Cambridge few nights ago, he was
unable to show draft card or
other Identification and was ar
rested. The r. B. I. checked up
and took him to court.

Paintings of trout in Virginia
streams in previous years often were
of fish commonly designated as un-
dersized. For that reason Old Do
minion fishermen placed little faith
in freshly stocked streams, prefer
ring to take a chance on those wa
ters which might have few big
ones in the deep holes.
This year the commission, because
1t has found that a few large trout
produced far better fishing than
the release of a large number OF
small ones, is holding fish in the
hatcheries until they attain a length
of at least inches.
The greater part of this years
planting, which will number some
where between 100000 and 100000
brook and rainbow trout, already
has been placed in the streams.
The balance, with the exception OF
2oO00 large fish, is scheduled for
release before the season opens
April 20.
Late Paintings Due.
The plan of holding back num-
Der of fish for planting late in the
season was initiated last year and
found so successful it will be re-
sumed this summer. This gives the
dry-fly fisherman a better chance
when the low waters and warm
weather make the going more diff1-
cult than in May and early June.
There is every indication that
when opening day rolls around Viz
ginia stream fishermen will enjoy
better trouting than ever before.

clared she was through with show

Virginia Now Is Planting Large Trout;
War Takes Many Fishing Captains

There are few fishing ports IN the

will not lose from one to several
of the well-known party shippers,
men who have guided sports fisher
men for many years.
Ocean City Shippers Enlist.
Many Ocean City (Mdo captains
have shifted to the Coast Guard and
Navy. Capt. Vic Lance is the latest
and by now probably Is on patrol
duty with his Torobil. Capt. Lev
RAYMOND leaves Palm Beach today

a lot in following his favored pas

the bacon, on Saturday caught two
lrge sailfish, two dolphin, two bar
racuda and two albacore of Palm
Beach. Fishing with him was his
young granddaughter.
A nice day at any season, but
considering that sailfishing has been
much of for the past 10 days, it is
an exceptional catch.
Most local anglers fish Southern

Good News as Aces
Tune for Masters
Shute, Picard Get IS, 66;
Colleagues Pick Nelson,
Hogan Is Fons' Choice
BY ROMNEY WHEELER,
Associated Press Sports Writer


AUGUSTA, Ga, April 7-Golf's
greats got together here today for
the Masters golf tournament-and
got double helping of cheerful
news to start them off.
First was an announcement by
Ed Dudley, head of the Professional
Golfers Association, that President
Roosevelt had given golf a wartime
go-ahead, along with baseball and
other recreational pursuits.
Second was an announcement by
Dudley that the P. G. AS 1900
members have pledged to raise
S250,000 for wartime benefits and
relief-flve times the amount raised
by golf in 1910 or 1941.
Sees Recreation as Help.
Dudley made public letter from
Stephen T. Early, secretary to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, transmitting to him
the Presidents opinion that within
reasonable limits he believed the
war effort would not be hampered
but actually improved by sensible
participation in healthful pursuits.
The President said his comment
applied to general recreation and
amusement during the war effort.
Fred Corcoran, P. G. A. tourna-
ment manager, said the associations
golf stars would engage in as many
benefit matches as possible for Red
Cross and other war activities. To
insure adequate amounts for charity,
he said, prospective promoters will
be required to guarantee at least
$500 to the designated war agency
before the P. G. A. will accept CO.
sponsorship.
Big Field Warming Up.
Meanwhile, some so veteran golf
campaigners set their sights for the
exacting par-72 Augusta National
course in practice rounds prior to
the Masters tourney April 9-12.
Hottest prospects were Henry
Picard of Oklahoma City, who
banged out a 66 yesterday, and
Denny Shute of Chicago, who was
credited with practice score of 65.
Byron Nelson, nominated by his
pro-golfing colleagues as the best
bet in the tourney, shot warm-up
SO, while yallery-favorite Ben Hogan,
winner of two out of three starts in
the Carolinas, took half hearted "a
for nine holes and then headed for
the showers.
Defending Champion Craig Wood
tried the course but posted no score.
