Although Detroit Tigers - last year's winner-—went through the 1934 campaign to victory without a serious injury and will put virtually the same team on the field this year, they received 13 votes to finish first, barely enabling them to nose out the strongly bolstered Boston Rod Sox by‘ one vote.

TCIRONTU. April 2—Carrylng enough equipment for a three-week trip to the Allan Cup finals should it be necessary, Toronto All-Stars left here today for Montreal where they meet Montreal Royal; in the third game of their serfs for the right to move against Halifax Wol- verines in the semi-final" at Hali- fax. Manager Bob Ecclestone was confident his team would win de-

suffered a broken wrist in his team's 5-2 win over Royals here last night. Torontos will also be without the sen/ices of Norm Mann, out o: the lineup since the Ontario finals ag- ainst Hamilton Tigers. Royals won the first game in Montreal 9-2. Just how the lines would be shifted was imcertein but Eccles- tone intimated he would start An- dv Goldie in goal. Walter “Pud" Kitchen and Russ Bowman on de- fence. Don Hodges at centre flanked by George Parsons and Ken Grivel. Ecclestone has ample reserve strength. For real-guard duty he has Ab Grant, Norm Lamport and Jimmy Fowler and in an emer- gency liwwler could be used up front. The second line will centre Shomy Robinson with Johnny Ach- eson and Gamay IA-rge on the wings. The Toronto team had protested the work of Jack Duggan and George lilomer, of Ottawa, who handled the first two contests.

l-‘toysls will go into action with the same 10 men that have carried their colors through all Allan Cup kames to date but Toronto will have an altered lineup a; a result of a fractured wrist that put Cep- tain Teddy Oliver, centre, on the shelf for the reminder of the season.

To replace Olliver Coach Moose Eooleetonc has called in Johnny Acheson. smart centre who was iwitb St. Michaols College, Memor- ial‘ Cup champions, last season. Ab. Grant, defenceman of a Toronto Mercantile League club, has been recruited and Russ Bowman, regu- lar defencemcn, is back with the, club after missing Monday's game due to his mother's death.

Torontos came here with 12 men and will proceed straight to the Maritime: with this roster if they are SUCOGSSIID.

Royals will have Patsy Seguin in goal: Herman Murray and Johnny ‘rougher, defence with Buster Mundey relieving; and two lines, Hugh Farquharson, Ralph St. Ger- main and Dave Neville; Phil Wat- son, Doug MaoQili-sten and Ken Murray,

Yacht Race

, HAVANA. April 3. — Yachtsmen adopted a. policy of watchful wait- ing tonight for 18 of the 21 entrants in the annual St. Petersburg-Hav- ana race, the course. The only boats which had com- plated the BM-mile voyage were Va- dim Makaroffs 72-foot kctch, Vam- arie from Oyster Bay, Long Island, which won in 58 hours, 53 ~ inutes, and L. M. Balllieres 41-foot cutter Aweigh from Gibson Isle, Md. Des- pite that more than three days had elapsed since the fleet left St. Petersburg, local yachtsmen felt no concern over the non-arrival of the other contestants. The belief was expressed that probably many of them, beset by calms. had abandon- ed the race and were returning to St. Petersburg.

Navy Wins OpcnerFrom F a_l c o s

The Navy basketball team made an auspicious‘ start in defense of their Holy Name Club hoop title last night when they turned back the challenging Falcons 40-36 in the opening game of the best out of five series to decide this year's champions.

Easily the closest and hardest- fought encounter staged on the Club gym this season, the game kept the fair crowd of fans in a‘ high state of excitement through- out. Outplaylngthe "Birds" in the opening half the Navy jumped in- to the lead in the first minute and from then until the end of the session were never headed, leading 20 to l4 at the bell.

But for the first ten minutes of the second half it looked as if the rnlcons would pull the game out of the lost column. Led by "Dinny" Doyle their stellar guard, the losers overcame their deficit and cata- pulted into a five-point lead but a tough break at this juncture went a long way in deciding the outcome. Don Grant, tangy guard._ was banished for four personals with less than seven minutes to go and the Falcons, missing his serv- ices keenly, bowed to the fast of- fensive of the winners‘, the Navy outscoring them 11 to 2 during the remaining time.

Lineups andscores:

Navy: McIsaac (3). McMahon (l3). Connolly (12), McLean, Walker, Lorter, Cox (12).-40.

Falcons: Goss (3), Doyle (l3). McInnis (2), A. Larter, Cullen (3), Harley, O'Connor (l), Power (14), Grant-Cid.

Refcree—Blll Henry.

GIRLS‘ GAME

In an exhibition girl's game played before the playoff encoun- ter, Abbie Sisters defeated the Nikes 34-22. As was the case in the boy's tilt this was another hard- fought, affair, the winners coming from behind in the last part of the game to earn their margin of vic- tory.

Maroons Hold Workout; Toronto Leafs Rest Up

PBBDICTS TOUGH BATTLE -

MONTREAL, 2-(C.P.)- "Thstflbronto team can't holdthis speed," exclaimed Tommy German today as, on skates, he leaned ag- ainst the boards at the Forum and watched his Montreal Maroons practice at fast speed for the first genre of the Stanley Cup final at Toronto on Thursday.

"look at the balance we've got in every forward line and watch our defence stop them," Tommy continued. Warming to his subject. and occasio --.lly outing encour- agement or advice to the players, Tlommy said: “Mind, I'm not de- tracting from the Leafs‘ power ln any way; its going to be a tough

battle every minute. But we're not

afraid of them.

"Who'll watch Couochcr and Jackson? Why Northcotg and Ward of' course. But it really doesn‘t matter. Any of our lilies can cover

them like a lid. And were not only ,

going to watch them. We'll carry the play to them." »

lvlhiroons will have another work- out tomorrow morning and leave in the afternoon, the full roster making the mp to Toronto. Other than Hooley Smith the squad is completely free from injury and the veteran centre will be in action despite a fractured thumb which was injured again in the last game with New York Rangers in the Cup semi-final.
