revolution that Maria Theresa

Backgrounds of the World war.
With the wars which came with
the rise of Napoleon, Austria was
forced to withdraw from Belgium,
last of her western European pos
sessions, and concentrated still
further in the mid-Eropean
cockpit centering on Vienna.
The empire began to take sub
stantially the same shape 1t had
up to the time of the World war.
Francis I was the first to take
the title Of hereditary emperor
of Austria in 1904, after bearing
the brunt of the fight against Ma
poleon, and seeing that leader
crown himself hereditary emperor
of the French.
DUT Austria had met her mill

GR|FFS TICKETS
PLENTIFUL

Tickets? There's still a bundle
of 'em left for tomorrow's open
ing game between the Griffmen
and Boston Red Sox, according to
an announcement from ball park
headquarters.
Almost 1000 grandstand and
box seats are still available
while more than 10000 bleacher
seats are on hand.
These latter tickets will be on
sale until game time tomorrow.
The reserved grandstand and
box seat tickets can be had until
5 o'clock today.
With favorable weather pre-
vailing, a banner crowd is ex-
pected to witness Washington's
first major league game of 1884.
The pitchers will probably be
Lefty Stewart, for Griffmen, and
Robert Moses Grove for the Sox.
The latter will be making his
first start of the year, following
an unexpected delay because of
a sore arm which developed at
training camp.
The Washington times., 1934-04-23

These contingents are a step or
two ahead of Western, Roosevelt
and Tech, having more experience,
a stronger pitching staff and con-
siderably more timely hitting.
In Joe Sullivan and Claude
Cowan, Eastern and Central, re-
spectively, have two of the best
moundsmen in the series.
Clash Friday
Sullivan opposes Cowan on the
mound when Eastern and Central
battle Friday in a game at Eastern
Stadium which will practically
clinch the crown for the winner.
Roosevelt makes its debut in the
inter-high loop tomorrow, meet
ing a fighting western nine at
3:45 p. m. at Eastern Stadium.

WELTERS FACE
TOMORROW

Two District titles will be
hanging in the balance tomorrow
night when Matchmaker Frank
Mann trots out a scheduled 30
round lineup of boxing talent at
Portner arena, Alexandria, Va.
Although the semifinal round
of Washington's heavyweight
tourney will find Donald c'Red~
Barry and Bobby Tow going the
featured ten heats, just as much
interest probably will be packed
into the eight-round Semifinal
casting of Ray Bowen and Cary
Wright, joint claimants of the
Districts welterweight crown.
One of the finest prospects
loosed locally in many a day and
backing this claim with a record
that reveals Is wins in q pro-
fessional starts, Wright will be
the choice of many to upset
Bowen.
Three fours opening tomorrow's
show find Barefoot Green op-
posed to Joe Schultz, Bill Howell
meeting Ike Fines and AL Dinta-
man matched with Young MuSso-
1iri.

mind, the Griffmen were back
home today to rest one entire
afternoon before taking up the
important business of winning
ball games tomorrow. The law
of averages offer the idea that
they'll begin winning consistently
very soon, even though hard work
will, after all, turn the trick.
Manager Cronin announced
that Lefty Stewart would get the
call in tomorrow's opener against
the Red Sox. Lefty's last ap-
pearance was against the same
Boston Red Sox last Thursday.
He travelled six innings and
might have gone farther had he
been that much ahead in his
training.
Tomorrow, he holds decided
ideas of going the whole distance
quite as the fortune that
smiled on his team mate, Tommy
Thomas, yesterday at Philadel-
phia. He might, at that, as the
veteran southpaw offered encour-
aging signs against the Red Sox
last week, even though withdrawn
from the box after the sixth
inning.

ter is so much more vital to
him than to anyone else.
Without offering an alibi, for
1t is entirely too early in the
season for any ball club to re-
quire such, the return to the
lineup Of Luke Sewell, one of
the SmarteSt catcherS in the
league today, should make a
great deal of difference in the
fortunes of the Griffmen.
Sewell Is Missed
Such a statement is in no
way a reflection on Moe Berg,
nor even the immature Elmer
Klumpp, but take the services
OF such an experienced receiver
as Luke Sewell away from any
baseball combination you can
mention and the effect IS bound
to show up in achievements or
lack of them.
Meanwhile, Washington fan,
dom is far from discouraged
over the outlook, although in
isolated cases you always find
individuals who have a way of
becoming forlorn over a few
losses.
The town will be out at
Griffith Stadium tomorrow in
full force for the opportunity
of passing judgment on the
team - judgme ent deprived
them a week ago today be-
cause the elements simply
would not behave.
Team Is Confident
Joe Cronin and his crew
came in from Philadelphia last
evening the perSonification Of
confidence, and anxious to put
on the show at the park to-
morrow. All of the opening
day ceremonies which had
been set for last Monday will
obtain, including the tossing
out of the first ball by His
Excellency, the President of
the United States.
According to the latest in.
formation, Walter Stewart will
oppose Bob Grove, although
the matters of pitching selec-
tions are subject to change
without notice.
The club will be home until
the middle of May, a sus-
tanned stretch long enough to
satisfy the appetites of the
most rabid rooter, all seven Of
its major league opponents be-
ing scheduled here for stays
of three games with the excep-
ton of the Chicago White sox,
who play four games.
