Letter …
Dear Sir Could you explain why a city as large as Seattle, with over half the population from areas where they have either played or seen Hockey; can show as little interest in the game as far as business men are concerned?

Mostly, I think, because we have no publicity man this year. Corporation says they can t afford one, but they would more than pay for his salary if we had even two thirds of the arena filled. It isn’t fair to a team to play their hearts out for so few people. And, it certainly doesn’t do their morale any good. We…

Since the Mercurys are especially strong at defense and with three veterans plus a sophomore in the lineup Willey had to be the one to be offered. However, Coach Doug Baldwin has been very impressed with the 20-year-old’s play and tried to make a deal with Indianapolis to use Willey on a look-see basis and that the Mercs would still have rights to him next season. Willey may be used Wednesday night by the Chiefs. The Mercs, who have won…
