Most important local sports news of the day concerns the Fred DaU Brasscos, whose players are 1mmedl- ately barred from City Amateur League competition; and from the All-American tournament next Sep- tember in Baltimore; of any other city that may be selected for the open" tourney. Word to that effect comes officially from William J. Derwin, president of the City Am- ateur league, and also head of the AAABA, which elected him last De- cember in New York. obviously, that rule kills any idea of players intending to show their wares local ly twice or three times a week; night games for MT.

BROOKLYN AND BOSTON MERGER
 PRO GRID DEAL
BY CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Staff Corresponds

United Press St3ft correspondent
 New York, April 9-(UP)-Merger of the Brooklyn Tigers and Boston Tanks and transfer of the Tiger franchise from Ebbets field to Yan- kee stadium was expected to wind up the marathon meeting of the National Professional League foot ball owners today.
 Although switch of the franchise to the stadium where owner Capt. Dan Topping of the Tigers also is part owner of the Yankee baseball club, was regarded as certainty, it was understood that the New York Giant executives held it up until certain specific requirements were agreed upon.
 Merger of the Tigers and the Tanks had been contemplated from the opening day of the meeting, but was held up pending arrangement of how the players were to be paid and where the home games were to be held. They probably will be split between the stadium and Fenway Park in Boston when the schedule is completed.
 The club owners yesterday estab- lished tentative postwar schedule of games based on a 12-team cir cult in which traditional rivalries in the league would be intensified.
 Under the plan, the schedule would be arranged on a more or less permanent basis, with each team meeting every other one in the league at least once a season along with a home and home game arrangement involving the tradi- tional rivalrieS.
 Bears vs. Packers
 This would call for 12 games a season and the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, old foes of the western division would meet twice In the east New York's Giants and the Washington Redskins, also arch rivals would play each other twice Although in the other four proposed home and home games, there is nc such rivalry, the league men said il probably would develop.
 Cleveland would play Detroit, BoS- ton would meet Pittsburgh, Phila- delphia would oppose Brooklyn (probably to be renamed the New York Tigers) and the Chicago Card inals would play a mystery team to be admitted after the war. Fran chise applications from several cite; are under consideration with Buff falo and Baltimore among those getting top mention.

COALIE M'C0OL HEROES DETROIT
 FOR 2ND TIME
United Press Staff Correspondent
 BY TOM JOHNSTON

Detroit, April 9. CUP-The Tor onto Maple Leafs were riding to- ward the Stanley Cup Hockey Championship today on Goalie Frankie McCool's "big stick"
 Once again last night the rookie goalie shutout the Detroit Red- wings, 2 to o, leaving the usually high scoring losers without goal in the playoff finals. It was Me- Cool's third shutout of the play offs and his seventh since the sea- son began.
 The youngster got plenty of help last night from his defense-minded team mates who worked ceaselessly to keep Detroit's shot makers from geeting a square crack at the nets. The Redwings were strictly on the tight side themselves and the game was more than half over before Ted Kennedy of Toronto finally made goal at 13:05 of the second period Babe Pratt led rush to- ward the Detroit goal and just when he appeared ready to shoot himself, he passed the puck to Ken- nedy who sent it past Goalie Harry Lumley from a few feet out.
 We'll Done
 A spectacular solo dash the length of the ice in the final period pro- duced Toronto's other goal. McCool had pushed out shot by Carl Lis combe and Elwyn Morris picked it up and bolted from his own zone. Although partially checked into the boards he fought his way clear and skated to within few feet where he plopped the puck over Lumbley.
 The victory was attributed to the strategy of Toronto Coach, Pat Day, who used only two forward lines, alternating first and second stringers and keeping the third trio out. O crowd of 13,948 saw the game.
 The teams resume play at Toronto Thursday night.

Wilmington, Del, April 9-(UP)- The news from the Philadelphia Phillies' training camp today was calculated to cheer the Chicago Cubs more than the Phils. It con- cerned Bill Nicholson, National league homer and runs batted in champion who is working out with the Phils instead of his own club, the Cubs, to be near his war plant job.

 Washington, April 9.
