Wings at Peak
Beating Leafs
For 3rd in Row
Toronto Knocked Out
Of First Place as
Detroiters Win, 80
By LEWIS II. WALTER

When the Detroit Red Wings
can force the Toronto Maple
Leafs brilliant Syl Apps line TO
golf the puck out in desperation
you can count the Wings in on
that Stanley Cup fight.
And when the Red Wings score
Ia goals 10 for the opposition
in winning three successive games
YOU can also count them in on
the Stanley Cup fight.
That's how the Red Wings feel
about il today. And their views
are shared by most Of the 100Ol
spectators who saw them hit their
peak with a so victory over
Toronto last night at Olympia.

LANSING, Feb. 6.--The state
civil service commission o d a y
began investigating charges that
