PRESIDENT PLANS
 PERFECT PITCH
Officials Unavailable" To- day as Everyone "Goes
 to the Ball Game"

Washington, April r (UP)- President Roosevelt will put aside the affairs of state for three hours today to open the tooth baseball season.
 He and scores of other high gov- ernment officials will be in Griffith Stadium this afternoon to watch the Washington Nationals and the New York Yankees get the first 1899 call of play ball!"
 That is, they will if it doesn't rain and postpone the game. The outlook was not promising. It was raining at dawn.
 MT. Roosevelt will throw out the first ball. He has been tossing out the first ball for six years now and has shown nothing more than a high, arched curve which lacked "oomp."
 In return for his pitch, he will receive a season pass valued at ap- proximately $200. It will be the highest-priced pitch in baseball this year.
 Government business slowed down and it was hard to get quorum for any congressional committee as the capital went to the ball game" Most cabinet members and other high officials will be unavailable" between and 6 p. m.
 A band will play Hail, the Chief" when the presidents car drives into the park. Then the two teams will march to the center field flagpole to raise the American flag, with Vice President John N. Garner leading them.

Roper To Take $l0,0O0 Punch At 10 P. M. Tonight
BY RONALD WAGONER
United Press Staff Corresponden

(Un1ted Press Stan COrreSpOnucnGD
 Los Angeles, April IT. (UP)-The movie folk cook up strange celluloid dramas, but none more unbelievable. than tonight's in-the-fiesh heavy weight title fight between an ancient studio electrian and the most sav- age puncher of the era.
 The Cinema story-tellers would hesitate to script the likes of vener- able Jack Roper in the same ring with killer like Joe Louis, but no situation is too improbable for the fight impresarios so Jack and Joe will be in the wings waiting for their cues-the gong-at 10 p. m.
 If Roper, who clans to be 36 years old, lasts full round against the Detroit Dynamiter, 1t will be taken as a sure indication that Joe is slipping. Jack, who plugs in kleig lights and handles electrical equip ment around one of the big film canneries, never has done anything to make anyone feel he might have chance against Louis.
 To Draw $100,000
 However, 1t is California's first heavyweight championship fight in 30 years, and has been steamed up accordingly. Mike Jacobs of New York, who is joinipg Tom Gallery of Los Angeles in promoting the match, expects more than 10000 to con- tribute upwards of $100,000 at the Wrigley Field gate tonight. Louis will get 45 per cent of the net; Roper 10.
 There is virtually no betting be- cause every one is so sure Roper hasn't a chance. It seems to be only question of which round he will be counted out. The wagering is even money that he will not come up for the fourth, 3-1 he will not go six, and 5-1 that he will not be on his feet at the final bell.
 Wise Money
 Some so-called "wise money" talk ing advantage of the odds, was re- ported going on Roper to win at prices from 10-1 to 15-1. Some of Jacks studio pals are laying few dollars for sentiment.
 Both men ended training in good condition and report to the boxing commission office at noon for the weight. The 25-year-old Negro champion will scale about 200 to Roper's 198.
 Except for the Il admitted years in Louis favor, there is very little physical difference between them. Joe is an inch taller and has an inch longer reach.
 This will be Louis sixth defense of the title he won from Jim Brad- dock in June, 1887. As commentary on Roper's chances it would be mentioned that Jack was knocked out by Braddock in less than 8 round eight years ago.

BRASSCOS PLAY PRO CHAMPIONS
 OF HOOP SPORT
Renaissance, Greatest COl- Ored Team of AIl-Time,
 Here Tonight

Waterbury tonight at the Phoenix Avenue Armory Skating Rink offers to basketball lovers the greatest attraction of the popular hoop game in the personages of the Original Renaissance team, who have been in existence for IS years, during which time they have par ticipated in 1,646 contests, losing only 132. They finished up this great record this year on March 28, in the pro tournament at Chicago, against the greatest collection of pro teams from all over the world, by defeating all opposition and emerging as the worlds champions.
 They will be opposed by the fight ing Brasscos, the team who a week ago tonight, defeated the L.I.U. Blackbirds, and spoiled their unde- feated record. It was the only de- feat pinned on them before and even after their appearance in the Brass City,.
 The Rens are the most spectacu- lar 5 in basketball history and come to Waterbury in their own stream lined bus, direct from a coast-to- coast tour. This will be their only Connecticut appearance and also the last game that they will play this season as it is only through friendship for the management of the Brasscos that they will appear in Waterbury.
 Having heard of the surprising victory of the Brasscos, over L.1.U. the Rens are taking no chances of a defeat being pinned on them and will bring to Waterbury 8 men in- stead of the customary 6. The group of are the identical ones who won the worlds championship less than 3 weeks ago.
 The team will be explained by Fats" Jenkins. Others are "Tar- gan" Brown, John Isaacs, 'Bruiser" Saitch, zack Clayton, Pop" Gates, "Wee Willie" Smith, and "Pudgy" Bell, the fastest humans to have ever appeared on a basketball court anywhere.
 The scrappy Brasscos, who have earned the title of "giant-killers" should give the famed visitors one of the best battles they have had this season. The same team who ended the LI.U. victory streak will again take the floor.
 The main game will take place at p. m. and the Rens will give an exhibition of shooting and passing, starting at 8:45 and preliminary game will go on at 7:30 o'clock. The prelim will be between St. Joseph's Holy Name of Waterbury and the 1 Oakyille Dukes,

BOSTON BRUINS. OVERCOME 'JINx',
 COP HOCKEY CUP
''Best Team l Ever Had or Saw Says Manager Art
 Ross; Drew l6,S9l
BY THOMAS NOONAN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, April 17.-(UP)-All the honors in hockey were heaped on the Boston Bruins today, and Manager Art Ross dared anyone to dispute his claim that the Bruins were the finest team in 37 years"
 Ross made the statement after Boston had set records in breez- ing to the National League cham pionship, and he stood ready to back up his words today with the Stanley Cup, the Prince of Wales trophy, the Calder Cup and the Vezina trophy.
 The Bruins completed their sweep last night, beating the Tronto Ma pie Leafs 3-1 to take the Stanley Cup, emblematic of world hockey supremacy. It was their fourth vic- tory in the beSt-of-seven final, and gave Boston it's first cup in decade. The Leafs took but one game of the series-the second.
 Nice Job
 The Prince of Wales trophy was for winning the league pennant. Their sensational rookie goalie, Frankie Brimsek, won the Calder Cup as the leagues outstanding freshman, and the Vezina trophy for being the best net hinder in the cir cult
 A wild crowd of 16,891 in Boston Garden saw he Bruins break the jinx that had hung over them in four past playoffs against the Leafs. The fans demonstration lasted through the Cup presentation by President Frank Calder.
 Tt is the best team ever had, or ever saw," Ross grinned. has been Calder when the National League proxy is ready to step down, Ross also was quoted as saying this would be his last year of active manager ship from the bench and that he would move into the business office next season.
 Ironically for the Leafs, 1t was a Toronto youth, Roy Conacher, who made the Bruins winning goal. He also was instrumental in the first Boston tally.
 Good Break
 The first period was half gone when the Toronto defense hit Coma cher, who had just taken 8 pass from Bill Cowley and was moving across the blue line. He lost his feet, but fell forward, and nudged the puck to winger Mel Hill, who smashed a back-handed shot past goalie Turk Broda. Seven minutes later, while Hill was in the penalty box for tripping, the Leafs tied it up. Bingo Kampmann, taking relay from Doc Romnes and beating Brimsek on a screened play.
 Both teams played cautiously through most of the second session, and there was little more than two minutes of the period remaining when Conacher flashed down the sidelines, took pass from Bill Cow ley, and lifted the puck high in the left corner to fool Broda at 17:54.
 The Leafs cut loose with every thing at the start of the third, but the Bruins "all-star" defense of Ed die Shore and Dit Clapper tight ened in front of Brimsek. Flash Hol- lett combined with Schmidt and Crawford to give the Bruins their extra tally at 1923.

.YANKS, GIANTS
 MANAGERS VOTE AS BEST TEAMS
Cubs and Red SOx Seen as Runner=up Clubs in
 Major Leagues
BY HARRY FERGUSON limited Press Sports EditOrl

New York, April 17-(UP)--Base' ball, 100 years old today, enters it, second century with the prospect that tight races in both majol leagues will set an attendance record in 1889.
 President Roosevelt, throwing out the first ball in game between the Washington Senators and the New York Yankees at the Capital, will start one of the busiest seasons in the history of the national sport. The only other game today is be- tween the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Reds at Cincinnati, but tomor- row all 16 major league teams go into action.
 For the National League, Presi- dent Ford Prick predicts a typical dog-eat-dog fight with seven teams having chance of staying in the race. Although he names no names, it is obvious that he thinks the Phil adelphia Phillies are out of 1t before they start.
 ''This year there are more clubs Ill the National league with prospects of figuring in the first division fight than I can remember in any previ- ous season." Prick said. Spring is always the season for optimism in baseball, but in our league this spring I believe there are no less than seven clubs that go into action with their fans feeling they have 8 chance of finishing close to the top."
 The Chicago Cubs, winner of the 1888 pennant, go into this season as favorites in the betting, but there is strong support for the New York Giants and the Cincinnati Reds. The national league managers, how ever, believe the Giants have the best chance and the consensus of their opinion gives the following or der of finish:
 l. Giants. 2. Cubs. 3. Reds. Pirates. 5. Cardinals. 6. Bees. T. Dodgers. 8. Phillies.
 Odds Against Tanks
 Despite the fact that the New York Yankees have blasted their way to three straight pennants in the American league, there is an un- dercurrent of feeling that the law of averages is working against them and that this may be the year when they founder and fail.
 Will Harridge, president of the American league, believes that the race will be closer than it has since the Yankees began their domination three years ago.
 Few persons, apparently, are will- ing to back their lunches that it is the Yankees year to lose, for the New York team goes into the race the shortest priced favorite in llis- tory. The American league mana = gers, boiled by the United Press pre- dicted this finish:
 1. Yankees. 2. Red Sox. 3. Tigers. 1. Indians. 5. White Sox. 6. Senators. Browns. 8. Athletics.
 The centennial of the game will be observed this summer at Coopers- town, N. Y., where, 100 years ago, Abner Doubleday laid out the first diamond and formulated the rules for baseball out of two games known as town ball and one o'cat.

most entirely in second guessing Nothing must please you. Wait until something is done and then tell everybody in the house how you would have done it, and how much better your way would have been than theirs.
 Late in the afternoon move your chair to a position by the window where the sun shines directly in your eyes and half blinds you. Later, at just about the time you would be leaving ball game, gather the en- tire family near the narrowest door in the house. Then, on signal, every one try to get through it at enc time.
