• The other day we happened across a
reminder that February 1.0 was the 15th
anniversary. of the occasion on which
Apron Joliet played his 700th game for
Canadlens in the National Hockey
League,
Could this 700 be a rale -print? we won-
dered. For 700 games is a lot of hockey games, Was it possible
that a sickly little fellow, whose ailing stomach often revolted
at food, whose weight dropped down on occasion, to a puny
135 pounds, mild have survived that tong in a gruelling, hard-
hitting game played mostly by men whose weight hanged, on
the average` from 100 to beyond 200? Was it possible that
starting m the days of 24 -game schedules, he could have
squeezed in that much competition?
Yes, all this was possible. For Aural Joliet was one of the
wonders of hgekey, He came into the MILL. In 1922, a virtual
unknown, On Canadians' roster was Newsy Lalonde, famous
from coast to coast, a player of tremendous craft and skill,
whose feats were legion, his name a household word. And so,
when it was announced m the summer of 1922, that Canadiens
had traded the great Lalonde to the Saskatoon club, for an
Unknown youngster, whose only hockey experience had been
in junior ranks, the sports world was stunned, unbelieving.
ft seemed impossible. But then, as it turned out, everything
about Joliet seemed impossible.
From the start, this little pale -faced left winger, who in-
variably wore a blank peaked cap pulled down over his eyes,
was sensational,. A pygmy among giants, he became the elusive
will o' the wisp of hockey. He could spin on the traditional
dime. His stick -handling baffled his opponents. And when, in
desperation his foeman sought to eliminate him by bodye
cheeks, they found him to be the little man who wasn't there.
A great goaler of the era once told me that Joliet was the
most dangerous sniper of his day, because of his accuracy,
rather than speed of shot. The records support this. For in 16
seasons of League play, he scored 270 goals, exactly the same
number as compiled by his illustrious team-mate, Bowie
Moren
A strangely -contrasting pair, Joliet at left wing, Morenz
at Centre. The silent, tight-lipped Joliet was smooth, skilful,
but unobtrusive, Morenz a flaring bundle of spectacular speed.
For' eleven consecutive seasons they formed a remarkable
partnership. Usually, the centre makes the plays in hockey.
But so great was Joliat's skill and craft, that at left wing, he
was the,play-maker, who fed Morenz the puck for the rifling
drives fired by the Stratford Streak.
A paradox of hockey was the Magnificent Mite Joliat,
physically handicapped, but one of the great instinctive artists
of the game, one of the Great Little Men wbo furnish brilliant
chapters in every sport.

A suite way of keeping' the

preheat filling with 1 tablespoon

GL'aas • Growing On
Asphalt "Pavement"..,
We've heard the old saying,
"Grass will grow In the City
streets," but now they are saying
that farmers will soon find it
growing On special asphalt pave-
ments,
Not only that, they also may
fila that they no longer have to
battle with the problem of wash-
ed-out .seedbeds along water,
ways, banks and terrace outlets.
These prospects are due to
three years of successful testing
of special asphalts as a protec-
tive cover for seedbeds by the
University of Illinois College of
Agriculture, The treatment was
tried, on blue grass, alta fescue,
dean and incline clover, in addi
rye grass, redtop, Korean lespe-
tion to small grains. All stands
came through in fine shape, ac-
cording to Soils Man 13. M.
Smith.
Instead of stifling legume -
grass seedlings as you might
'think, the heat-abhorb!ng black
film speeds. germination. It holds
lime, fertilizer, seed and soil
firmly in place in - the face df'
drenching rails.
The asphalt, of course, is not
a pavement you could drive a
car over. It is a thin' dry cover-
ing, less than one—sixteenth of
an inch thick, that can be ap-
plied with • ordinary sprayers.
Special asphalts for the purpose
are of two types: an emulsion•
that can be applied with a hand
sprayer, and a cut-back asphalt
that must be heated to 170 de-
grees. An ordinary garden hose
on a farm sprayer works, well
enough, although needing an
occasional cleaning to prevent
. clogging.
Costs were found to run 5 to
8 centsrper square yard, cheaper
than straw mulch in many cases.
Tester Smith advised two pre-
cautions. Asphalt is not a fer-
tilizer or a soil conditioner, so
fertilizer must be used with it on
pooh' soils, Asphalt will not hold
big clods together, so make sure
the seedbed is fine and firm.

Planting Trees?
Use Lots Of Water
The Suminerland, B.C„ Exper-
imental Station emphasizes the
importance of preventing young
fruit trees from becoming dry
at any time during their first
year in the orchard.
As soon as the trees are re-
ceived from the nursery they
should be unpacked in a cool
place, protected from wind, ad-
vises A. J. Mann of the Summer -
land Station. If the roots appear
dry the trees may be allowed to
stand in a barrel of water for
a couple of days. If it is not
convenient to plant them Im-
mediately, they should be heel-
ed in, preferably by a shady spot,
with plenty of water around the
roots.
When ready for planting, haul
the trees into the orchard in a
barrel of water, and keep the'
roots continuously damp until
the tree is in the planting hole,
says. Mr. Mann, After planting,
the treehole should be filled with
earth to within about six inches
of the top, then two 0P three
pails of water added. If the soil.
is porous, it is advisaitle to fill
the hole a second time with
water, If this is done thoroughly,
.ii is neither necessary nor ad-
visable to tramp the soil firmly
about the roots; the water will
snake the soil compact and firm.
After the water has all soaked
away, but before the soil be -
cones dry, fill the hole with
loose earth.
Care should be taken that the
young trees de not become dry
40 any time during their first.
summer. Often an interval be-
tween irrigations which may be
correct for established treea is
too long for trees in their first
year of growth,
Dinner Cold? calf the Janitor—Built into homes and restaurants
in Florence, Italy, are these double -purpose 'radiators, which

Hy Turkin - who knows his
boxers about as well as any man
writing ser has a most interesting
article in a recent issue of the
"Police Gazette" about how de-
ceiving records and figures are in
connection with the fight racket.
In any other sport, says Ely, the
record book will tell you who's
who. But in boxing, it's the
match -making that count's far
more — in many cases — than
the fighter's real ability.
a 8 s
It's up to a shrewd manager
to get his fighter the best match.
"Best" often means avoiding the
hardest - hitting contender. ("
don't wanna get my kid's brains
scrambled.") Or, in some mans—
geriai philosophies, "best" means
the most lucrative bout, even at
the cost of a promise to 'take it
easy" against the other fighter,
'or at the cost of a cold -brooded
over -match in weight and abil-
ity. ("We're in this racket for
money, ain't we?")

Indeed, for all the bloodshed
and brutality that go with prize
fighting,- its jungle lies outside
the ring, in those primitive mana-
gerial circles where the struggle
for survival of the fittest has be-
come a matter of dollars, not
sense; where broken promises are
taken for granted, like broken
bones
So boxing has become, a sport
where "figures can lie, and liars
figure." The ring record -book
won -and‘ -loss figures are a joke,
a cruel joke, They'll show for
instance, that Teddy (Red Top)
Davis has lost 45 of 94 bouts.
But the cold figures don't even
hint how many of these were
split decisions, raw decisions,
bouts stopped because of a su-
perficial cut even though he was
ahead, or, worst of all, how many
times Davis had til mix with men
of higher weight divisions in
order to earn a payday.

To prove how wrong won -and -
loss figures can be, the afore-
mentioned Davis has lost 45
bouts, yet stands recognized as

"Cee. Mon and Pop, don't you

Unquenchable Lew Jenkins had
been beaten 13 times, including
five kayoes, before rising to the
lightweight throne. Other recent
champions with a long list of
losses before earning the crown
include heavyweights Jersey Joe
Walcott, 15 defeats, and Jim
Braddock, 20; middleweight Tony
Zale, 12; welterweight Kid Gavi-
lan, 12; lightweights Jimmy Car-

Sammy Angott, 10; featherweight
Joey Archibald, 13.
Boxing is one sport in which
the champion is truly made, not
born. A n d only managerial
match -making can bring a boxer
all the way to the throne room.

carcasses of fighters who were
among the greatest of their era,
