JACK ADAMS and his Falcons till mav be entertaining hopes of qualifying for the Stanley cup playoffs, but something Hk 12,000 customers who saw Les Canadiens from Montreal outplay ths Detroit entry in every department at Olympia last night and leave for home with a 2-0 decision, fed otherwise.

SQUAD IN GOOD SHAPE Dugan Seems to Have Call Over McManus for First Shot at Hot Corner. BY IIAKRY BILLION.

SACRAMENTO, March 8. Today was another day of rest for Manager Stanley Harris and his band of 33 Tigers, but the big squad swings back into action again tomorrow morning to start the final five days of work before the first exhibition game of the training trip schedule against the Sun Francisco Seals in San Francisco Friday. Many of the athletes were swinging mashies and nibiicks today instead of baseball bais, and Heinie Schuble showed the most improved golf form of the club. Heinle cut three or four strokes from his 120 of a week ago. Schuble had a large working mar-Kin on his mates which explains, at least in part, his improved game.

To I'se Young 1'itchers. Two-huur drill sessions for each of two squads again will be the order of things Harris selects the group which will make the trip to San Francisco. The Bengals' pilot has given no inkling of what players will make the Jump, other than the pitchera, all of whom will be youngsters. Harris plans to leave his veterans, Uhle, Whitehlll, Sorrell and Hoyt, here for games with the Sacramento club while the recruits do the Hinging against the Seals. Tom Bridges.

Guy Cantrell, Whitlow Wyatt. Elon Hogsett, Charlie Sullivan, Phil Page and Charlie Marrow are the flingers who probably will be taken on the trip. As the training season advances, It appears more apparent that Harris Is swinging toward Frank Doljack and the Walker brothers for the outfield posts and It would not be surprising if this trio started in the garden In the aeries with San Francisco. Doljack Is a hard and timely hitter with plenty of speed and a great throwing arm, while Harris has made no secret of hi admiration for the pre-season work of the pair of brothers from Gulf-port, Miss. Joe Dugan Is Ready.

Joe Dugan, who came to the Tigers without a contract, is In better physical condition than Marty McManus and stands an excellent chance of getting the third base assignment for the San Francisco games. Dugan, who was out of the game last year resting a bothersome knee, has taken his work seriously here and appears to be In first class condition. Dale Alexander. Charlie Gehringer and Bill Akers are sure to make the trip, and it is highly probable that Marvin Owen, the young in-flelder obtained by purchase from the Seattle club, also will be taken along. Indication are that Wally Sehang and Rav Hayworth will do the catching duties on the trip.

Eleven games were M-hedtilcd. Including a livtrnlt American league A division championship affair between Swedish Americans and Workers A. Be BY HARRY BULLION. HEINIE SCHTTBLE made a record In the Texas league that, while he will discuss it, disdains to boast.

Beaumont, with which club Schuble played last season, was compelled to play double-headers on successive nights in Houston, and Schuble never will forget his experiences. Under the are lights Heinle couldn't see the pitching at all, and in me inree ble-headers he struck out 18 con secutive times. "Is that a record for the world?" queried a listener. "Search me," replied Schuble. "I don't even want to think of it, much less do any researching for records like that.

Schuble played in the game against Waco the day the SCHCBLE. Waco club scored 20 runs in one inning and Rye, the outfielder who went from Waco to the Red Sox, hit three home runs during the orgy. Heinie has become a golf addict, but not to where he reached the point where he can do a round of 18 holes under 120. There are more clubs in his bag than Bobby Jones' caddy lugs around, and a lot more strokes. The Tigers who knew Schuble when he was up for a trial in 1929 appear to be disappointed with him this spring.

Either the kid hasn't gathered momentum in his speech yet or he is tamed. Bill Akers has been trying desperately to engage Schuble In arguments for nearly a week now and cannot get GENE SARAZEN AND FARRELL SET GOLF MARK They Team It for a 62 to Win Opening Match in Four-Ball Tourney. CAMBER, WALKER WIN Defending Champions Elii inate Williams and Watson, 2 and 1, at Miami. MIAMI, March 8. (A.

Dapper little Gene Parazen whizzed around ,1,. course today with a record-smash-1 ing 18-hole 65 as he and Johnny Farrell swamped their opponents, 6 and 5, in the opening 36-hole play of the $5,000 international four-ball matches. Sarazen and Farrell also set a new record of 62 as they defeated Willie Klein and Tom Kerrigan. The Sarazen-Farrell combination, however, was not the long score winner of the day. The perennial Walter Hagen and Horton Smith, who strode across American courses a year or so ago to win most of the golfing money of the year, marked up a 7 and 6 victory in a scheduled 36-hole match as they sent Bob Randall and Bob Burns down without apparent effort.

A third long score gave Denny Shute and Tony Manero a 7 and 5 win over Bill Burke and Jock Collins. Gamber, Walker Win. Johnny Golden, fresh from his Agua Caliente conquest over George Von Elm, paired with Ed Dudley only to go down to a 4 and 2 defeat at the hands of Charley Guest and George Christ. Clarence Gamber, youthful co- sharer of top honors in the 1930 tournament with Cyril Walker paired with Walker today In defense of their crown to win 2 and 1 from Danny Williams and John Watson. Jack Thompson and John Kinder went into the next 36-hole round by a 2 and 1 victory over the vet eran, Al Espinosa and Craig Wood.

Joe Kirkwood, paired with Light- horse Harry Cooper, went down 2 and 1 before the onslaught of Wild Bill Mehlhorn and irank Walsh, Chicago veterans. Turnesa Mato Beaten. Joe Turnesa, back in Florida after his 1931 win in the classic Miami open fell down with Henry Cuici as they took a 3 and 2 beating from the bespectacled Willie Macfariane and Whiffy Cox, Brooklyn blusterer. The defending champions1. Gamber and Walker, will meet Manero and Shute in tomorrow's 36-hole quarter finals.

Sarazen and Farrell, veterans of Florida courses, will offer their bid against that of Thomson and Kinder while the Hagen-Smith combine will stroke the course with Mehlhorn and Walsh. The other quarter final match will be MacFarlane and Cox against Guest and Christ. Connie Mack To Stand Pat On His Team Lean Leader of Athletics Thinks Club Good Enough for Race. Miami, March 8 (A. Like a shephard with his flock, Connie Mack herds his ball players softly, serenely, along the spring baseball paths that lead to the pennant road.

The club that has won two successive world's championships is good enough to satisfy the old master, old enough now to be the grand father of his veterans, yet able at 68 to retain the enthusiasm of a rookie. The Athletics, barring accident or the remote chance that the great Al Simmons does not sign a contract in time will start the 1931 American league season with the same club that has dominated the major league clubs for two years. "I don't see how we could make any changes," Mack said today. "The boys are all working hard. It's a pretty good club and I guess we'll have to stand on it." Shepherded with his veterans, Mack has brought along an ambitious flock of youngsters.

Among them, perhaps, are several stars in the making, but for the time being they merely sit at the foot of the patriarch or gambol in the footsteps of the veterans. Mack needs no replacements now, although three of his four infield-ers Dykes, Boley and Bishop no longer are young men, as ball players go, and perhaps will be the first to give way to new men. BAN JOHNSON STILL SINKING St. Louis 8 (A. The condition of Ban Johnson, former president of the American League, remained extermely critical tonight.

of D. Team Lacks Reserves and Loses, 4-0. University of Detroit puck chasers fell easy victims to the Royal Oak Merchants sextet, champions of the Royal Oak league, at Olympia Sunday night, 4 to 0. Bob and Mike Gibbons, sons of Mike Gibbons, former middleweight boxer, who was known as the St. Paul phantom in his fighting days, failed to appear for the game and the Titans played throughout with only six men.

Until they tired they gave a good account of themselves, but the handicap was too much for them to overcome. Royal Oak scored its first tally in the second period when Blac-quire hit the net. Another goal quickly followed, T. McLean scoring this time on a pass from V. McLean.

A second goal was added by T. McLean in the third period and Tate drove the final tally home after eight minutes of play. breeed on exhibition, Fionne v. Loheland triumphed in what constituted a semi-final test Sunday evening, competing in a variety group of working dogs which included the best of German Shepherds, Doberman Pinscers, Collies, St. Bernard's and Sheepdogs of various classes.

Junior lightweight champion. Yankees Tiger Talcs SACRAMENTO, March 8. Roy Johnson, in whose veins flows the blood of the Osage Indian tribe of Oklahoma, did not see a white boy until he was 11 years of age. Ole, as his teammates have dubbed him, was born on a reservation In the Oil state and lived there with his parents his father Indian and his mother Scotch until Mrs. Johnson died.

With his father, Roy went to Seattle, where the boy entered school and learned to play ball on the corner lots. Eventually he was signed by the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast league, where, with Earl A 1 11 and 3mead ol 1 now with Cleveland and Chi- mcrn Ampricnns. respectively, he was a part oi what was con- sldered the f. greatest outfield trio that ever played together out here. Johnson has tiaits of the Indian race from which he comes.

His nature is to sulk, though at JOHNSON. times he is one of the most jovial fellows one could meet. In two years Johnson has not delivered in the way of the club anticiDated. but those who watched him develop out in the Pacific Coast league declare that ne aispiayea me same symptoms of temperament when he broke In with San Francisco and "snapped" out of it all of a sudden. The opinion Is unanimous that Johnson was a better ball player than either Averill or Jolley, though since they came to the American league both Averill and Jolley appear to be by far more set than Johnson, who has been very inconsistent with the Tigers.

Johnson inability to maintain a steady poise might be due to his hot blood, although in no wise is Johnson mean to anybody but him self. His spite is strictly personal and in no wise vented on his teammates, with whom he is sociable in the extreme. ILL AKERS talked himself into the job of shortstopping regu larly for the Tigers; if he didn't President Herbert Hoover is a chinaman. In the line-up opening day In St. Louis the garrulous lennesseean will cavort in the sector between second and third bases.

What happens after that is a matter for Akers to attend to. But the feeling is general that Akers not only will start orr witn bang, but is destined to play the quality of a a 11 that insure him of the regular assignment indefinitely. It is not a case of being reconciled to Akers at short- stop so much as it is a situation wherein the Beaumont graduate demonstrated that he is the best suit- rd of the candi- 1 dates for that AKLKa. position to play It Akers is the type of I all player who loves the game and is thinking of it always. Sure, he pops off lot and draws the fire of criticism of mates in abundant packages.

But it must be admitted without hesitation that the kid, who is all energy and fire, can play baseball. Bill never is going to stop talking for more than a minute unless he suffers the misfortune of lockjaw affliction. The rest of the men can countenance that fault of the kid's if he holds the key to the situation shortstop, and it looks very much is though he does now. II I Pin Leaders Ousted In State Tourncv CHARLEY GEHRINGER, brilliant second baseman of the Tigers, is not immune to making blunders. On the field his lapses of memory are rare and mechanical errors happen so infrequently that when he makes one it is positive proof that he Is human.

But Gehrlnger claims the record of making the first "boner" of the present training season. Like most ton-soriai perfect young men, Gehringer carries a trunk with him on the road. But he doesn't always carry the j. key with mm after locking his wardrobe in it. This was one -f the times that Charley neglected to go through the formality of bringing the key to his trunk with him.

He GF1IIIINGF.II. happened to arrive on Sunday, when the locksmith's shops were closed. Between his desire for a change of clothing, which would entail the breaking of the lock and the keeping of his traveling wear on, Gehringer elected to preserve the lock. "That's the first bone head of the season, Isn't it?" drawled Gehringer, who upbraided himself for being so stupid. "Reminds me of the time," chipped In Akers, and Just then the audience had business elsewhere and scattered.

Carl Bluth and Pete Schnapp, Detroit pinsters, who took the lead Saturday, were relegated to third place before the firing was over. Another Detroit team, Penning and Malek, forged into fourth position; a Bay City team, consisting of I. Smith and W.

While Doherty's singles mark of 743 stood up under the heavy hammering, six new names went up among the first 10 in this event. Snyder led the list with his 717 to take second place and W. Smith, of Sarnia, took fourth with 702.

He displaced Paul Miller, of Kalamazoo, as the holder of first position. Miller's mark of 1,984 had withstood a hammering since last week.
