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 juice of berry pies inside is to preheat filling with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, until sufficiently thick. Cool before placing filling in partially -baked crust for bak- ing. Some people prefer to use 1 tablespoon of tapioca sprinkled over the lower crust before add- ing berry or juicy fruit filling. * * t For prize apple pies, use a sprinkle of salt, or salt pork very thinly sliced: a mixture of granulated, dark and light brown sugar; lemon juice and cinna- mon. * t * A quick and favorite lemon chiffon or lemon sponge may be' made by omitting the gelatin, and folding the stiff meringue into •the cooled lemon filling be- fore pouring it into the baked crust. It must be served cold. This is a perfect icebox pie, • gaining firmness as it stands. The crust will not soften. If desired, serve with whipped cream or. chocolate chips. * o * Try serving an ice cream "ice- berg" on each piece of your choc- olate pie, instead. of whipped cream: * Cook two egg yolks with pre- pared vanilla pudding to make a good pie filling. When nearly cool, fold in stiffly beaten and sweetened egg whites, and .place in pre-cooked pie shell.

It ja,1 b ONTARIO MANAGER • North American Life and Casualty Company, .47 La Plante Avenue Toronto 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.

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 contain a food -warming compartment. Cynthia Chapman takes • apeek to see how the roast chicken's coming. 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?") i o > 8 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. a x e To prove how wrong won -and - loss figures can be, the afore- mentioned Davis has lost 45 bouts, yet stands recognized as alae world's fifth- ranking Feather- weight. 4 * s if ring records were talu'l seri- ously, Freddie (Red, Cochrane would never have receivers a de- served crack at Fritzie Zivic'a welterweight crown in 1941.

MERRY MENAGEPJE "Cee. Mon and Pop, don't you remember me? 19n'ieft over front last season!" 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- ter, 11, Laura Sales, 20: and 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. Ring history le- studded with the carcasses of fighters who were among the greatest of their era, yet never reigned as champions. Here are just a few: { t it Sam Langford: Possibly the greatest fighter of all time, he weighed only 160 pounds at his peak, but beat even the best heavyweights. a a A.
