Mr.. Strauss GantZ, Gen. Mgr.
The Wyandotte News-Herald,
Wyandotte. Michigan
Dear Mr. Gantz:
May I take this opportunity to
acquaint you of the News Herald
staff with few of the practices by
local gangs of ruffians-which to
say the least, are fast becoming in
tolerable to taxpayers and other re-
spectacle citizenry.
In particular, I have in mind a
certain gang of culpritS who from
their size and appearance should be
In one of the services, instead of
having so much time to spend in
idleneSs and fiendish acts. This
gang have their theater of opera
tons In the north portion of the
city. All of them live on 7th Street,
between Goddard and st. John SITS.
Some of their acts of rowdyiSm are
as follows: Irrespective of the ap-
peal of our government to salvage
all available paper, this gang Sc
cures numerous copies of the News
Herald and other publications and
deliberately tear them into small
pieces and throw them at night on
private property in order to dis
figure same. Another common prac-
tice at the present time consists of
deliberately throwing snow and ice
on sidewalks which have been pre-
viously cleaned by the property own
er involved. Still another dangerous
and feindish act is in vogue at the
intersection Of End and Antoine SITS.
Here a gang aSSailS women drivers
with or without small children, who
stop for the intersection, only to
have the rear end of their car swung
around and to the side of the street,
regardless of protests. Still another
practice Of the It'll st. gang is the
throwing at night, of pieces of ice
at the front and sides of private
dwellings. only to result in some in
stances in broken storm sash or
windows.
1t would certainly seem that these
gangs could and should be disband-
ed and curbed in further acts of
violence, by the local police without
having to refer such existing con-
ditions to the county or state au-
thorities.
Very truly yours,
Howard j. MaStin.

Bruins Manager Pulled A Fast One

Boston, April 4. (UP)-The De. troit Red Wings 5-3 victory oyer the Boston Bruins in their final Stanley Cup playoff game put an end today to what might have been one of the strangest protests in the National Hockey Leagues 2S- year history.
 If the Wings had lost last nights tilt at Detroit, it is understood that Manager Jack Adams was prepared to protest Sundays game here on the ground that the Bruins took un- fair advantage of his team by turn ing the heat on full blast at Boston Garden during the game, though the, temperature outside was 6s degrees.
 The resulting soft ice gave the slower Boston club a definite ad- vantage over the Wings whose of fensiye is built on speed and de- ception, according to Adams. Tha Detroit mentor confided to friends that Manager. Art Ross Of the Bruins had pulled q fast one." i

METROPOLITAN
 MERCANTILE
 PIN CHAMPIONS

Metropolitan Cleaners rolled away with the 1944-45 Mercantile Bowling League championship last night at Sena alleys in two straight games against defending champions Brook side Dairy; though neither club hit a 600 game within dozen pins, MetroS 585 was good enough by 14 pins to win the first game and a slightly better score of 588 won the second game from Brookslde by l6 pins, the championship match wind- ing up some of the closest league competition in years.
 Individually, the rolling was "off the beam" in comparison to the scores the Mercantile boys have been bling up all season. For instance the high single of the match was 139 by Sam Greenblatt, sponsor of the new champions, and there are six to eight bowlers in the match with higher individual averages than the boss of the Metros; who by the way, will throw a party for the champs at the Press Club; Thurs day, April 18th.
 Hot And Cold
 Bill Tato and Jimmy Barber, Ben Stokes, Sam ZaZa and Teddy Salemi rolled in singles competition after the two-g anne Metro-Brooksid match: with contributions from spectators going to the Red Cross Salemi hit 159 string, but his best in the match was 113; Tato had 136 121; Stokes, 131; Barber, 134 and Zaza 127. Jimmy Barber, second high average bowler in the league over the entire season, with 124 plu. could do no better than 1l5, Ill against Brookside but hes on th' winning team.

FOOTBALL WAR :. LOOMS AMONG
 3-4 LEAGUES
By CARL LUNDQUIST

(Un1Ce0 FreSS SCdH NVIHCSRVhNCMS'
 New York, April A. UP) - Whether there is room in the Unit ed States for the postwar operation of three and possibly four major league professional football circuits may be determined today.
 The executives of the National league, only major professional cir cult no win operation, began two days of momentous meetings here today. What they decide may have a definite future bearing on the operations of the three embryo cir cults, the United States Football league, the All-America and the Trans America.
 Each of the new enterprises wants to put team on the field year after the end of the war in Europe, but before that can be done definite arrangements must be made for se- curing of stadium sites, establish ment of contractual agreements with players, and working out of territorial rights and schedules.
 Although not actually rivals as such, the promoters of the new leagues are waging keen fight for stadium sites. Chick Meehan, for mer Manhattan College coach and head of the Trans-America circuit said he would abandon plans to keep the league going if he was un- able to get playing site in New York. Shortly before the Nationa, league executives met, Meehan pro. posed that a 16-club league consist ing of the II in the National leagu, and the five strongest in the Trans America circuit combine into oHt powerful organization which woulc operate similar to the American and National leagues in baseball. Going Ahead
 Arch Ward. head of the All, America circuit, has indicated tha' his league will operate regardless. of whether it is able to obtain stad. ium rights for New York. Ths franchise owners apparently mear business because they have beer signing up outstanding coaches an< players for participation irnmedi ately after the war ends.
 Quietly detached from the cur rent inbroglio are the officials O the United States league. who hav made arrangements flatly to begii operations this season-"war con ditions permitting" Headed by Rol and D. Payne, Pittsburgh indus trialist, franchises have been issue, to 10 cities including New York ant Honolulu. The plans of the U. s league are the most ambitious O all, embracing postwar oversea plane travel to Hawaii. Sponsor include wealthy sportsmen' in eacl city with a franchise but plans fo
 l945 operations may be tabled be cause of player shortages.
