Sees Giants Regaining Pennant

(This ls 10th in a series dealing [Ha prospects of major league. ball -)

PENSACOLA, Fla, March 2b. — pown here in this furthest outpost of the grapefruit league,‘ some cf ihe doubting Thomases say New York Giants will be lucky to finish third in the National League pen- nant whirl this season.

There are those who think the pitching is not up to par. Others wonder if the infield will stand the gull. still a third faction insists thc Giants are just "too matter of fact" to come through.

A notable exception is Manager Bi'l Terry, after all, he will be left holding the bag if the Giants re- peat their act of 1934 and 1835 and fold up on the home stretch.

"1 think I have the best ball club in four years," said "Memphis Bill" today. “And don't forget, we won e pennant in one oi those four years."

How does he figure the team is stronger?

"in two respects." went on Terry. “First, we are improved at second base. Burgess Whitehead and Dicl Bnrteli give us one of the best com- binations in the majors. Second. 1 believe Dick Ccffman and Fred lliarberry‘ will give us the type of relief pitching we had in i838 when Adolfo Luque and Herman‘ Bell helped us win the pennant." ~

Brown s Set

For Role Of "GiantKiIlers"

W181‘ Fir... Much ﬂ-Rogers l-fornsbys St. Louis Browns are getting well set for their famous "giant killer" role h the American Lieagrw this year.

Being a shrewd judge of ivory and pennant races, the Rajah. frankly doesn't expect to land beb- ter than fifth in the i158 fllht un- less there is s. crack-up among the circuits "big four"-Detroit, New York, Boston and Clevelcnd—but his Browns, many of them maior league cast offs with deep revenge in their hearts, will cause plenty of houble for the contenders.

The Rajah, coming back as a player this time as s. reserve first baseman, plans to open the cam-l paign with approximately the same| lineup which hit the home stretch last fall like Discovery. His pitch- ers, he figures, should be better, ‘his infield tighter and his hitting as good if not better. _

Ivy Paul Andrews, who won 18 and lost seven for the Browns last season despite a poor start, rates as llomsbyts number one pitcher. Jack Knott, Merritt ("Sugar") Cain and lcRoy Mahaffcy. who won 28 and lot 30 botwecn them last year. arc expwted t/o round out the start- ing group. Elton Wallrup, whom ilsrnsby predicts will be one of bns:bn'l's greatest right bender-s when he gets control, and the vet- cran Russell Van Atta. the Brown's

workhorse of 35, also look like regulars. i The iniield may be identically

MONTREAL. March ﬁlo-Sud- bury Falcons established them- selves firm favorite; to advance inishthe Eastern Canada Allan Cup final by edging out a close 3-1 victory tonight from Montreal Royals, champions of the Province of Quebec.

Falcons and Royals journey to Toronto to play the second of their two-of-three series on Friday. If a third game is neoes y it will be played Monday at Toronto, The winner of the Ontario-Quebec ser- ies will be pitted against Brock-

vllle Magedomss in the Eastern Canada final, - The Falcons, conceded little

chance against the powerful Royal outfit, surprised a slim crowd of about 3,000 with a furious last per- iod onslaught that brought two goals. Only then did Royals awak- en but their comeback efforts were limited to s. single goal by Ralph St. Germain.

Sammy - Rothschiidk Falcons were eliminated from the Ontario playoffs by Hamilton Tigers but Tigers withdrew on not being al- lowed to have their second game against Royals played in Hamilton. Falcons hastily brought together again by their coach caught Roy- als napplng. Hero of the fray was bulky Joe ironstone, Sudbury goalie, who rose to spectacular heights in the last Period to turn aside all but one scoring attempt of the Royals.

Play was ragged in the first two sessions with Sudbury evident- ly out of practice and Royals con- tent to follow the easy pace.

But at the start of the last ses- sion Sudbury sprang to life. It. was Charlie Marshall, smooth- skatlng right winger who seni- them ahead..iie rifled a. long snot at Seguin and then leaped through the Royal defence to poke the puck home while it lay on tire ice behind Seguln. Their team work clicking like well-oiled machinery Falcons continued to bear down and Don Grosso climaxed a rush by ripping a low shot past segum from the side after taking a. per- feot relay from Art Stuart.

Royals never had a chance alter that although they rumbled through the lighter Sudbury de- fence often- It was always Joe ironstone the bald-headed be- cepped goalie that frustrated them. He only slipped once when St. Germain blasted a high corner shot by him and he argued fruit- lessly with Referee Mallinson that. the puck had not entered the net.

Sammy Rothschild was right at home in the Forum. He was one of the originals of the Montreal Maroon Club founded in 1024-25 and stuck around a. year or two before giving up the professional ﬁe. Many friends of his Mont-

hockey days greeted the slim Sudbury coach.

Royals went into action without Frankie LeBlanc, their leading scorer for the Montreal senior group season. Paul Armand was also missing. Replacing the men, both injured in a, series with Que- bec Aces for the provincial cham- pionship, were Ernie Mundey, back after absence through hurts. and Bastien, a junior.

Stibury presented a strong de- fence with old Joe ironstone in goal behind the hard-hitting Bin- go Kamva and Grosso. They kept a keen eye on Royals Olympic ecu, 8t. Germain and Dave Nev- ille with Nevlile being out-lucked when ironstone got a. foot to a. burning drive in the first period when he worked through with the Saint.

Lineup:-

Sudbury: Goal, Ironstone; de- fence, Kompman, Grosso; for- wards, Conick, Hillier, Marshall; subs, Cook, Beliinger, Cooper, Stuart.

Royals: Goal, Seguin; defence, Jotkus Mundey; forwards, St. Germain. Donnelly, Neville: subs, O'Connor, MacQuist/en, Bastien, Tltccmbe.

MONTREAL, March 25.—-Lorne Chubot's overcoat bulged slightly tonight when he walked into the hotel where Detroit's jubilant Red Whigs are registered during their stay here for the National Hockey League finals.

It took the Wings 176 minutes. 30 seconds before they scored on Cha- bot, Montreal Maroon netman, in the first game of the series early this morning. It was the longest‘ game on record.

Thc Montreal goaler peered about the holcl lobby and spotted Man- ager Jack Adams of the Wings. "Is young Bruncteau around?" he asked, removing the bulge from m; pocket. Bruneteau wasn't. and cha- bot handed a puck to Adams.

"Give this to the kid." said Cha- bot. "It's the puck he shot past me for that winning goal. Thought he‘d like to have it." '

“Mud" Bruneteau, 22-year-old Detroit rookie and hero of the en- durmice contest, expressed the opin. ion chabot was "a grand guy" when he received the puck.

NEW YORK, March 25-12mm- ing from west to east along the American League training trails. it's fairly obvious (l) that Cleve- land Indians are rapidly shaping up as the club to beat in the American League, (3) that, by contrast, Detroit Tigers are by n0 means all set and rarin’ to go in their hunt for a. third. straight pennant, and (3) that Boston Red Sox are still rattling around in their platinum-plated box- ,

pitching staff. It's just a question of whether the Indians keep their health and strqgth over a iuil season's stretch. If they don't run afoul of an epidemic, Cleveland figures to get even for a flock of bad breaks pursuing the club ever since Tris Speaker piloted it to a world championship in 1820.

Having run the grapefruit gamut last spring with a. prediction the Tigers would “breeze" to their sec- and straight pennant, which they did, this writer has a hunch it may be time to hop off the De- troit bandwagon. We don't take it for granted (1) that Al Simmons will make such a tremendous dif- ference in the Tiger batting power (2) that the club's pitching will be as reliable as it was last sea- son or (3) that the world champ- ions will be fully prepared to off- set a crackup at one or two vital spots in the lineup.

German was confident his red team had power enough to eam an even break at home then go on to win the series in Detroit.

The odds swung slightly in favor of Red Wings to take the series after winlning the longest game in N. H.

Says Gilroy Not Wholly To Blame

(C.P. By Guardian's Specinl Wire) PFITERBOROUG-H, Ont, March 25—President E. A. Gilroy of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Associ- ation twice threatened to return home from the Olympic winter games because of lack of co-oper- atlon by other officers, J. Percy Bond, Past Prsident of the Ontario HockeyAssociatlon, said here today on his return from a l0 weeks trip abroad with the Olympic hockey team.

"The Olympic hockey players are quite correct when they blame the C. A. H. A. officials for bungling their affairs last month at Gar- mlsch-Partenklrchen," he said. Of- ficials in charge of the team did not understand the Olympic p‘ay- off system until England debated Canada, he asserte ».

He added, however, that Mr. Gllroy did not deserve criticism. Had other officials followed the C1 A. H. A. President's policies, Mr. Bond thought the trip would have been successful.

“Friction among some of the of- ficers began at Halifax,” he said, "and continued until the end of the playoffs. The players proved to be a good bunch of fellows who played 30 games and lost but one during their time abroad. They were pop- ular everywhere and they and the whole party were entertained roy- ally in every town they visited.”

_ The former O. H. A. official, who paid his own expenses on the trip to Germany, accompanied by his wiIe, felt the British H-cckey Association had no‘. shown good sportsmanship following the lifting of suspensions against two Cana- dian members of the English team. Canadian officials were responsible for having the suspensions lifted and two players. Jimmy Foster and Alex Archer, were used by England. Following their loss to England, the Canadian players themselves began inquiring about the playoff system. Mr. Bond said, and they found then how disastrous that de- feat was.

Unless Leafs can win by four goals in the return engagement, Bruins will play either New York Ameri- cans or Chicago Black Hawks in. the semi-final round of.the Na- ‘L iional Hockey League's post-season series.

CHICAGO. March 25—A 100 per cent sure-ﬁre rabbit's foot or other good luck charm would bring l1 t“? price tonight in_ this bailllwick of Chicago Black Hawks.
