DYERS-FURSTO&AGE HATTERS *A’ISS4m Loupot’s Trading Post—Agents Southpaw Harry Truman turns from the military to the sports world to throw out the first ball at Griffith Stadium tomorrow for the New York-Washington opener. After the President gets through, Bob Kuzava (9-10), a faster south paw, will take up the job of facing Yank rookie Tom Morgan, a sur prise choice over Ed Lopat. Mor gan had a 17-8 record with Bing- hampton last season. Clark Griffith expects 33,000 fans to greet the Senators who have first division hopes after their surprise fifth-place finish of last year. The game launches the league’s 51st season. • Mantle On Hand Mantle, the most highly-publi cized rookie since Cline Hartung, is expected to be in the Yankee outfield for his first big league start. Cincinnati, given special dispen sation for an early opener in the league’s 76th year, beats the gun on the rest of the national by taking on Pittsburg at Crosley Field. The usual sellout crowd of 32,000 is due. Ewell Blackwell (17-15), back in good health after a Seige of ail ments, will go for the improved Reds against Cliff Chambers (12- 15). Much is expected of the Reds after their fine last half season in ’50. Nobody knows what to ex pect from Branch Rickey at Pitts burgh except Ralph Kiner at first base and maybe g lefthand catcher. Once the special openers are over, the leagues go into a full schedule Tuesday featured by a Yankee-Boston Red Sox series at Yankee stadium and a Phillies- Brooklyn series at Ebbets Field. All-Southwest Conference^ pitcher in 1950, Pat Hubert proved that, he is definitely a contender to repeat at that post again this' season after he hurled a neat three-hittei; Sat urday afternoon on Kyle Field and turned back the Rice Owls 7 to 2 With another conference game to their credit, the Aggies are in readiness for their journey to Huntsville tomorrow afternoon when they will again meet the Sam Houston Bearkats. In the first meeting of the two teams the Kats bowed before the unmerciful hitting of the Cadets, 16-8. Hubert’s most recent three hit hurling chore is backed up strong ly by the no hit game that he tossed against Minnesota two weeks ago. Starting on the mound for the Owls was Richard Leeder, who suf fered from wildness in the first three innings and walked four, al lowed three hits and four runs be fore being relieved by steady Roger Edwards. In the batting division Bill “Shug” McPherson was the big gun for the Cadets, as he drove a Leeder pitch beyond the 360 foot mark to get an uncontested trip around the diamond with Yale Lary on base. For the Owls it was Bill Edwards who clobbered one over the fence to score with the sacks empty.
