Fourth is Tororito, with the Maple Leafs having won four Stanley Cups in the past 16 years (4-I2) for a .250 percentage. Boston, which also has entries in the four major league sports, has captured more nation- al titles than any other city, having won in everything but football in the past I6 years. All told, Boston teams were I3 and 50 over that time, the basketball Celtics taking care of most of those I3 championships. Fifty times, however, their major league teams lost, so Boston's record stands at .206, for fifth place. : New York ranks second in most crowns with II, that taken care of mostly by the Yankees of yesteryear, but with 78 losses all told rank eight with a .I24 percentage. Detroit writers blame their sports teams' lacklustre performances in the past I6 years to inferior talent. But those same writers blame inferior management for that inferior talent. : "Detroit lacks foresight in the procurement of young players. That failing is the essence of Dtroit's failure to produce championship caliber teams," wrote one scribe. In the Red Wings' case, he's probably right at least since Ned Harkness and Jim Biship got into the front office.
