HARRY HEITMAN IS IN NAVY

Rochester and Brooklyn Clubs Given Hard Jolt When Pitcher Enlists With the Jackies. Not only Rochester of the International but Brooklyn of the National as well, was hit a blow when Pitcher Harry Heitman enlisted in the navy. Heitman, who * was with Rochester under option from Brooklyn, had been the big sensation-of the International league this year. He was picked up from a high school team in Brooklyn by Ebbets and later sent to Rochester for seasoning. Recently Ebbets tried to get him back for the Dodgers, but the Rochester club would not let him go. He settled the controversy for himself by deciding to go to war.
