HI TOM .....IKE WILLIAMS WAS AN OUTSTANDING FIGHTER THROUGHOUT THE 1940S. HE SPONSORED A BASEBALL TEAM THAT BEAT THE 1948 SHROTHS, WHILE MY BROTHER CHUCK PLAYED. THE SCHROTHS WENT ON TO WIN THE AMERICAN LEGION WORLD SERIES THAT YEAR. IKE WOULD HAVE DONE MUCH BETTER IF HE DID'NT GET INVOLVED WITH THE PHILLY GANG. REGARDS.
