Truman Pitches
1st Ball, Today
Washington, April 18——
president Truman throws out the
first ball to opeh the 1950 major
leagub season today. If h i 8-
tory repeats, it could be a corkii
good game. / . ! ■ J, •
^ Not one jof the 30,000 fans wilT
f>e under the impression that eith
er Washington or Philadelphia is a
likely candidate for the world ser
ies. -
But/ these same two teams met
in last year’s . opening, and Mr.
Truman was treated to a honey
of a game; good pitching, timely
hitting, and a two-run rally that
Won for the Senators m the ninth,
3-2.
This fits in with opening game
history.
When the president has been
around, the games have been bet
ter than fair. _ ^
That’s true -alii the way back to
the first game in which la president
threw out the first fall.
That was in 1910, and William
Howard Taft was on the presi
dential firing line. The incompar
able Walter Johnson hurled a one-
hitter at the Athletics to win, 3-0.
Bucky Harris, beginning his
third term as Washington mana
ger, .will start Pitcher Ray Scar
borough. It was Scarborough, who
beat the A’s last year, On a seven-
hitter.
Old Connie Mack, beginning his
50th consecutive year as manager
of the Athletics, has called on
what looks like a sure thing. Carl
Scheib is his starting choice.
