The Blackhawks, as we experts put it, back-checked the Red Wings right out on Grand River Tuesday night, and shut the doors on them. But be fort going furthtr 1 must titablith myttlf with my future public as an txptrt.

You may rest atttirtd that non of tht ether expert which thit series has produced hat a bttttr background for thair txparting than I have. I always have been kind to my parents and hope some day to send my younger brother through college and make an advertising manager out of him. I was popular with the other fellows when I went to school because I never stooped to give a teacher a red apple. I was strictly on my own and sought favors of no one. I don't get my picture in the paper as often as does Dr.

Bozo-rino, the big arnica man, and I can't skate as well as those dudish-looking fellows who so deftly pile up those snow drifts between periods, but I am an expert just the same. I admit it. 1 A ND NOW as we await the second game of this puck classic for the old mug, I will let you in on some of the team's secrets. I assure you I will be open-minded and unbiased because I don't care who wins so long as it is the Red Wings. Wilfred Cude is crazy about sen-sens.

Louie Giffels refuses to let Jack Adams drive his car. Says Jack is too hard on cars. Ebbie Coodfellow't car is young Jim Norris' favorite. Eddie Wiseman sleeps with his arms over his head. Wilfred Starr is the club's ping pong champion, and Walter Buswell is the club's silent man.

Hap Emms is not nearly as cross as he looks on the ice. With that at a ttarttr fee's look ahead to tonight't game. VVe expert mutt be able to peer into the future. The only thing we do better than that it to lay "1 told you to." We never ttoop to referee-baiting unlett the Wingt are losing. I agree with Adams that the Wings must open up and outskate the Hawks.

That's the only way to nullify the Chicagoans' back-checking. Nullify is a two-dollar word and I take pride in the fact that I have beaten the other experts to it, As we experts will point out from time to time, back-checking serves a double purpose. It is effctive on the attack as well as the defense. Steal the puck from a team inside its blue line and there is bound to be trouble. NEVER swung a hockey stick but I won't let that stop me '( from making a suggestion to Adams.

The Wings' sticks now have a loft which compares to that of a No. 2 iron. This loft should be increased to that of about a No. 4 iron. That would permit the Wings to pitch the puck over the Hawks' sticks and avoid embarrassing situations like that of Tuesday night when Doc Romnes intercepted a Wing pass in the overtime period and pushed the puck over to Paul Thompson for his game-winning goal.

Sound reatonable, doetn't it? But there' nothing un-uiual in that. There it reaton in everything we do and tay, which it why we are expertt and not hockey managers. But as 'I see it, something more than back-checking will determine the winner of this puck classic and possession of the old mug. The other experts, they are jealous of me, will have to agree with me in this. The outcome will depend upon the spirit and fighting qualities of these superbly conditioned athletes, or as we experts like to call it.

the old spunkerino. And don't forget, the Wings have plenty of that. WfV" "v- JK.A 2 A SJjfi 9 tvj; Vh. si jjt. (fr BIO CHICAGO DE1ENSEMAN MAKES SNOW FLY WHEN Dick Johnston, Old-Time Big League Player, Dies Here Star of Boston and Cincinnati in '80's to Be Buried in Kingston, N.

Clarence Rowland, scout for Chicago, looked over the Reds yesterday and had a talk with Pitcher Benny Frey, with the permission of Manager Bob O'Farrell.

LOUIS, April 4 Five members of Detroit's amateur boxing tonight advanced to the second round of the National Senior A.

A. U. tournament. Four of them, Stanley Cieslik, Edgar and Edwin Waling, nnd Am.sey Rimson won In tonight bouts while Dave Clark drew a bye and automatically moved ahead, Two other Detroiters, Joe Louis and Stanley Evans, were forced to wait until tomorrow night for their first round tests when the llcht- hcavyweight and heavyweight fights were postponed for one night. The Detroit team received a blow when Al Nettlow lost the decision to Joe Oliveira, of Hawaii.

Another Detroit entrant, Joe Sworek, also was eliminated by a Hawaiian. Sworek dropped the decision to Raymond Maruko. Bill White, of Detroit, was stopped by Bill Triest, of Batavia, 111., in the second round. Cieslik Stops Foe Cieslik scored the first Detroit victory tonight when he gained a technical knockout over Ben Fin-nerty, of Omaha, in the second round. Cieslik employed a left jab with telling effect in the first round, and put Kinnerty down twice for counts of four and eight in the second round before the referee stopped the bout and awarded the decision to Cieslik on a technical knockout.

Finnerty was hopelessly outclassed from the start and was in bad shape when the referee intervened. Edgar Waling made It two straight for Detroit when he outpointed Joe Church, Batavia, N. in three rounds of hard punching. Waling, one of Detroit's two 118-pound entrants, won the first round by a clover exhibition of boxing. Church had a shade the best of it in the second round, but a strong third-round rally by Waling gave the Detroiter a well-earned decision.

Sworek Is Beaten Detroit suffered Its first setback when Joe Sworek, another 118-pounder, dropped the decision to Raymond Maruko, Hawaiian la-lands. The dusky islander was a bit too clever for Sworek, and while the latter let loose a two-fisted barrage in the third round that had his opponent worried Maruko's decided advantage ln the two preceding rounds earned him the decision. Al Nettlow dropped a heartbreaking decision to Joe Oliveira, of Hawaii, in the 126-pound class, for Detroit's second defeat. The crowd did not like the decision and showed Its disapproval in no uncertain fashion. Nettlow put up a remarkable exhibition of boxing against a far more rugged opponent, but it was Al's ill-luck to have the nod go against him.

It remained for Amsey Rimson, 136-pound Negro boxer, to put Detroit on the victory trail attain. when he administered a terrific beating to Frank Bojack, Cleveland. Both boxers landed some hard punches in the first two rounds, but Bojack weakened in the third and was hanging on at the bell. Edwin Waling Also Win Following Rimson's victory, Ed win Waling made it four out of six for Detroit when he took the decision from Tommy Lopez, Platts-ville, in another slugging match, in the 126-pound class.

"Why, tr, the Cubs, you know, Chicago I fumbled.

"Tha Cuba why a Broken Nose Adams Players Sure They Will Come Back to Win By Jack Carveth There was a lull on the hockey battlefront Wednesday as the forces of the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks awaited the second battle of the Stanley Cup finals at Olympia, Thursday night Olympia virtually was deserted. There was no practice for either team.

With all the reserved seats for Thursday's game disposed of, there was no line of hopeful purchasers and the box office staff had little to do other than sell tickets tor the wrestling match Friday night. A few hockey players put In an appearance around noon, then dis appeared. There was no hubub of excitement aiirh an that nf tha rfaw previous. There was nothing to do but await the second nmt. Then Another Storm But the calm after the storm also was the calm before another storm, and another day will see two determined teams In the thick of battle again one eager to square matters and the other just as eager to win and take a strangle hold on the championship.

Both teams were on their own Wednesday, to loaf as they pleased. Both came out of Tuesday night's overtime struggle tired and leg-weary after more than 81 minutes of strenuous hockey that ended unexpectedly when alert Paul Thompson converted Doc Romnes' pass Into the goal that gave the Hawks victory and a distinct edge in ths series. Manager Jack Adams, of the Wings, plainly crest-fallen after the defeat, had regained much of his confidence Wednesday and was able to flash his familiar grin. Adams still has unwavering faith in the Red Wings who never have failed In a pinch. They came through in the fifth and decldeding game against the Maple Leafs.

Adams believes they will come through again. Adams Takes Blame Adams takes his share of the responsibility for the defeat of his team Tuesday night lie told the Wings they must play cautious hockey and not let such snipers as Thompson, Romas Mush March and. Johnny Gottselig break loose. Tha Wings were cautious to a fault, thus minimizing their scoring chances and a break ended tha game. The Wings' pilot was not critical of the play by Teddy Graham that paved the way for Thompson's deciding goal.

As Adams sees it, Graham's play was sound enough. He believes that luck alone permitted Romnes to intercept Graham's forward pass that was high off the-ice and bounding off the fence. The odds were all against Romnes getting his stick to the puck, but he did and a hard battle was lost. The Wings took their defeat philosophically. They will admit they were outplayed by the Hawks Tuesday night.

They were not so much outskated as they, were out-checked and Adams plans a different system of play to throw against the Hawks Thursday night. The Hawks were superior at the close checking game, but they were outclassed by the Wings in Chicago not so long ago when the Wings played a style of hockey that defied close checking. Cooney Wellund Injured In addition to having trouble with aching legs, Cooney Wetland came out of Tuesday's game with a broken nose, the result of his crash into tha fence with Mush March. However, Weiland will be ln harness Thursday night ready to take his regular turn. He was wearing a lead splint under a bandage Wednesday, but It will come off before Cooney steps on the ice.

There Is joy tn the camp of the Blackhawks. Manager Tommy Gorman Is as happy today as Jack Adams was following the Wings' fifth game victory over the Maple Leafs. The Hawks came here supremely confident they could take the measure of the Wings right in Detroit and they did It They forgot about the record for the season between the clubs, and went about the business of playing the Wings the best way they knew, and it was good enough. Now the Hawks, underdogs before the series opened, are slight favorites to eapture the prize cup. They have hopes of ending the series in Chicago even If the Wings square the series here Thursday night.

The third game will be played In the Windy City Sunday night and the fourth, if necessary, in Chicago Tuesday night. If the title has not been decided by that time the fifth and deciding game, will be played In Olympia, one week from Thursday. Japanese Cueist Loses to Cochrane CHICAGO, April 4. (A. Scoring a high run of 211 for the tournament, Welker Cochran, of San Francisco, moved into a first-place tie with Eric Hagenlacher, of Germany, today In the world's 18.3 balkllne championship by defeating Kinrey Matsuyama, of Japan, 400 to 181 ln seven innings.

Cochran and Hagenlacher have won five out of their six starts. Cochran bettered the previeua tournament high run, held by himself, by 53. He also came within an inning of tying the best game record of the tournament, held by Hagenlacher. His high run came in the third inning, during which he made many spectacular shots only to miss the 212th by an easy masse. Matsuyama's best run was 122 on his last trip to the table.

The tournament ends next Monday, After getting off to a slow start the scores improved with each squad and many rolled themselves into a share of the $57,000 prize money. Archie Johnson and Bob Allen, Pontiac, battered the maple sticks for a 1,288 tune which entitled them to third place in the two-man event.

In their last games they chalked up a 523 count which is only three pins short of the tourney record for high doubles game. But for a weak start ln a 350 game first place would have gone to them. Their second effort was a 415 count. Then Johnson connected with a 637 series, while Allen marked up 651. Johnson also hung up the high singles series of the way with his 664 total.

However, he fell short of making the all-events list. A nine-game total of 1,915 pins gave seventh place in that event to Joe Reese, Middletown, O. Reese cracked 603 with his team, 668 in the doubles and 644 ln the singles. Tony Telasco and Jimmy Gro-zinse, Buffalo, N. put on a good exhibition In the two-man event by clearing the alleys of 1,256 pins.

Paul Thompson, who bagged the goal In overtime that beat the Wings at Olympia Tuesday night, is the transplanted star who really did not find himself until he was traded by the New York Rangers to the Hawks two seasons ago. Thompson is one of the original Rangers. He was one of the several stars Conny Smythe, now boss of the Maple Leafs, assembled for the late Tex Rlckard to offer oppo sition to the New York Americans.

Lester Patrick, who ousted Smythe as manager of the Rangers, found himself with a dearth of right wingers, and Paul a left-hand shot, was moved over to the other wing to help out Bill Cook. For five years Thompson played right wing under the handicap of having to shoot from the wrong side. With the Rangers, Paul was just another good hockey player. Two years ago, he was traded to the Hawks for Art Somers and was immediately sent to the position where he belongs left wing. Since then Thompson has risen from the ranks of a good hockey player to stardom.

He was the leading scorer of the Hawks during the last campaign with a record of 20 goals and 16 assists for 36 points, which gave him fifth place among the point-makers of the American Division. Only three players, Marty Barry and Nels Stewart of the Bruins, and Johnny Sorrell of the Wings, scored more goals than Thompson.

They will point out the late Jack Darragh, of the Ottawa Senators, as a shining example. But Paul Thompson's experience would seem to prove that a right hander belongs on the right flank and a left on the left flank. But In the case of Paul's brother, Cecil, of the Bruins, it matters not whether he Is a right or a left hander.

He is a goal-tender. Marty M'Manus Is Sought by Braves ST. PETERSBURG, April 4 (A. P. While the Boston Braves were packtnar today.

Manager Bill McKechnie was trying to think out a painless way of separating Marty Manus, last year's Red Sox manager and a competent second baseman, from the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Tribe will move on to Orlando tomorrow and canny Will has high hopes of getting McManus to compensate for the loss of Rabbit Maranville. Although the Dodgers have eight inflelders, all of them younger than the thirty-four-year-old former American Leaguer, McKechnie fears that Boil Quinn and Casey Stengel will demand one of his star pitchers. The Braves tried to get Marty last winter, when he was let out by the Red Sox. but his salary terms were too high.

Fumbles in wrote a sports column settled down and "Well, who do you think will yln the pennant this year ln the National League? I'd like to hear the opinion of a professional man on that."

I pull out a pack of cigarette, extract one. with a little frown, tap it on the arm of the club chair, light It draw in the smoke, expel it and say "Giants!" So far good they are 1933 "world" champions, aren't they? My companion then throws out a feeler and says: "The Cards are going to give them one hell of a run. I like the Cards."

He was an outfielder and played with Boston and Cincinnati in the '80s. Mr. Johnston died Tuesday at his home, 3468 Fourth where services will bo held at 3 p. m.

Thursday. "He had a great throwing arm," remarked a fan a few weeks ago in comparing Johnston with Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb and Max Carey. Playing center field for the old Boston Nationals, Johnston shared In that team's historic drive for the pennant In 1889. The team lost out to New York, but It took the last game in the season to decide it Johnston joined Boston in 1885 and soon made a name for himself as an outfielder and a timely hitter. "The perfect defensive player," Is the way an oldtime player characterized him ln placing htm on a pedestal higher than Speaker and Cobb.

In a game here with Detroit, Johnston carried off $50 from an advertiser for knocking the ball out of the park. After his retirement from baseball in 1894, Johnston returned to Kingston and his first love printing. He had learned the trade at the case and soon became superintendent of a printing plant. He came to Detroit 13 years ago, serving on former Sheriff George H. Walters' staff for several years and later at the House of Correction, where ha worked until last "What youngsters?"
