Bassos will displace basemen, tenors will step in where pitchers fear to tread and sopranos and altos will appear instead of Schacht and Altrock Sunday at Griffith Stadium when that arena of sport is converted into a grand opera theater for the presentation of *Aida.” Liniments, hard benches and other diamond paraphernalia have been cast out frem the club house already, and vanity dressers, mirrors and aids to pulchritude substituted. The ushers at the stadium are being taught to talk of librettos and arias rather than hot dogs and pop. The opera is being presented by Alifredo Salmaggi. Tickets are on sale at the stadium and at Stieff Piano Co. KNIFE WOUNDS SERIOUS Slashed about the face, arms and body, Robert Stafl, 22, of the 2100 block of P street was seriously injured during an altercation with a 19-year- old youth in Rock Creek Park between the P Street Bridge and Massachusetts avenue last night. At Emergency Hospital early this morning it was found necessary to operate to save his life. A police lookout has been broadcast for Staff’s assailant. The wounded man told authorities that he was able to walk to his home after the cutting. There he summoned aid and was taken to the hospital.
