President 10
 Pitch April 16

Washington, March 3O-(UP)-A sophomore left-hander - President Harry Trufnan--probably will start the l946 baseball season in tradi- tional style, the White House said today, and only the press of unex- pected business can keep him from the opening game April 16.
 MT. Truman threw out one ball last year-when he attended a mid- season WaShington-St. Louis game and stayed to watch most of the game. The White House said today that the President expected to be on hand when the Senators and Bos- ton start the first postwar season.

Training Camp T-O-P-I-C-S
BY UNITED PRESS DODGERS

Daytona Beach, Fla, March 30- (UP) Pitcher made the news in the spring baseball training camps today, with the spotlight on the Brooklyn Dodgers reputed Won der Boy"-Lefty Joe Hatten, who was to start today's game against Washington.
 Hatten, Pacific coast league star before entering service, compiled an almost unbelievable record of strike outs and hitless innings while hurl- ing in the service, and came to the Dodger camp with an impressive build-up.
 He lived up to these reports in practice pitching, and even manager Leo Durocher predicted stardom for the 26-year-old southpaw If he con- tinues to develop. Hatten showed just about everything in practice burning fast ball, e remarkably sharp curve, and unusual control for lefthander.
 Today's start will be his first against Major League opposition and success would virtually assure him job as a Brooklyn starter.
 Pete Reiser, regular center field. CT, will be at third for the Dodgers today, while Cookie Lavagetto nurses a sore arm. Rookie Carl Furilc moves into Reisers outneld spot Durocher said.

Roy Hilton Henson pleaded
guilty this morning, in criminal
court, to shooting at garfiSh while
standing on a public highway

court.
Shooting at garfish and their
first cousins, ballyhoos, was d
sport that Key West boys, half
a century and more ago, enjoyed
frequently. AS both fish swim on
the surface. they afford good tar
gets for boy or man with %

son is using. But he made the
mistake of firing the rifle from
a bridge of the Overseas High

Henson was arrested by State

complainant in the case against
John H. Busby, charged with
reckless driving. He pleaded
