Back fn 1950, in the midst of a semi- ' final Cup series, between Canadiens and New York. Rangers, the Canadiens' goaler Bill Duman, seven times wiener of the Vezina trophy, had the courage and sporting spirit to tell coach Dick Irvin: "Dick, I'm not doing the team any good. My reflexes have slowed down, I'm through," .And so Durran stepped out of the picture- and ended a career, to be succeeded by little Gerry ].McNeil, But Rangers were roaring ahead, the wizardy of McNeil, then a rookie youngster, halted them only temporarily, and Rangers went On to win the round, and give Detroit Red Wings a grim battle for hockey's most coveted prize. On the Thursday night of April 2, last, Caunedieas were fleteateil by Chicago Black Hawks, in a Stanley Cap semi-final game. That game gave Hawks a 3-2 edge in a best of seven series. One more victory, and the Chicago team was into the finals, Canadiens were out. And the next game was in Chicago, before a fanatic, victory -marl Saturday night crowd scenting a Stanley Cup triumph for the first time in years. On the Saturday morning, the long arm of Coincidence stretched across the years. For this time it was little Gerry McNeil, the successor to Durran, who waited on coach Dick Irvin, and declared: "Dick, I'm not doing the team any good. My nerves are shaky. My reflexes are shot. Put Jacques Plante into the net. Hell win a game for us." Irvin gave the matter lengthy study. McNeil continued to urge the change. It was a desperate gamble, but Irvin decided to take It. He benched not only McNeil, but three other regu- lars, tossed in four rookies, including Plante, a hawk -faced, sharp-eyed French Canadian youngster who had played, a few games for Canadiens during the season. Canadiens rallied in spirited fashion, won by 3-0, and first to greet Plante and throw his arms around the rookie goaler was McNeil him- self, who had raced almost the complete circuit of the rink to be first to congratulate his replacement. Plante played three more games after that. Chicago was eliminated with the dead -pan Habitant In the Canadien nets. Then, in the second game of the Cup finals against Boston Bruins Plante faltered, Rust Coincidence, if you like to call it that, entered again. "You better put Gerry back in there" Plante told coach Irvin. So McNeil was switched back, scored two shut -outs in the next three games, and Canadiens marched off with the Cup.

ONTARIO This is the sad tale of a ball - flayer who was too good — well, or his own good. In other words, about a character who did so well as a Jack-of-all-trades that he never got a chance to settle down and become a highly paid ] master of one. Frank Waldman, In a recent article, tells about Jackie Phillips, once a big -leaguer but now doing various chores for - the Hollywood Stars out on the Pacific slope. « u Versatility, within proper lim- its, can be a baseball player's greatest asset. Carried to excess, :however, it can become a serious obstacle as certain athletes can Testify. More often than not the player who can go in and do a creditable job at any one of sev- eral positions deprives himself of a regular job. In such case his versatility has made him too valuable as a 'utility' man or as what is called bench insurance. 0 o During the years he was with !Brooklyn Eddie Miksis learned This hard lesson. So did Bob lta- mazzotti. Peanuts Lowrey can ado' so many things well the St. Lows Cardinals would not think of "wasting" his talents in 125 • or more garages per season. So instead of -playing regularly, the way he would prefer, Lowrey fills in when someone needs a rest or else he does a bit of pinch- hitting. Billy Goodman can do so many things well he is known as the Red Sox' one-man team. Good- man plays infield or outfield, both of them willingly. Jack Phillips of the Hollywood Stars goes Goodman ane better, In ad- dition to everything Billy can do, Phillips also pitches. Thus far, this season Holly- wood's Helping Hand has pitched, played first base, third base and shortstop. L a s t year he also played some in the outfield so, if needed, he could go back there again. About the only thing Phil- lips has not done is catch, and he may get around to that before he finally gives up baseball for a steady job. "1 don't care where I play now, just as long as I play," Phillips admitted. "In the majors it's dif- ferent. Up there you like to play one position.

CUDWORTH The practical value of spiritual under- standing In daily life was the keynote as more than 7,500 Christian Scientists from throughout the world met recently for the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. A special message from The Christian Science Board of Directors told the gathering that materialism not only iv being challenged, but le yielding in - wearingly, to the impact of spiritual enlightenment. Bearing witness to this were inddentr of Christian Science healing read at the meeting which included total recovery from o severe case of poliomyelitis, abdominal cancer, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart diagnosed di incurable, dislocated hips thought:beyond recovery, and accident injuries pronounced fatal. Through prayerful living of pure C,hrietlanity, the Directors said, "painless progress can be made by the Individual and by humanity as a whole." Named President of The Mother Church for Rhe coming year was Mrs. Grace F. Cudworth of Boston, a Christian Science practitioner active in the healing work of the denomination for almost 50 years. Her term of office is for one year. are fewer players on each club, so I'm happy to help out where I can." " e Phillips, who has served in both major leagues, can blame Joe McCarthy and Bill Meyer for the use subsequent managers have made of his diversified tal- ents. In his second season in or- , ganized baseball Phillips went to spring training camp with the Yankees. The year before, he had ]ed the Piedmont League in home runs and putouts as a first base- man. tr "3 o e McCarthy decided he wanted to make an infielder of me so lie had me play third base, shortstop and even second base. The next year, with Newark, I played first, second, third and the outfield. I got into the 1047 World Series as a first baseman." After what happened 10 him with the Pirates in 1951 Phillips scarcely knew whether he was coming or going. He went with the club as a first baseman but before spring training had more then gotten started he found him- self teaching Ralph Kiner how to play the position, and inci- dentally, how to take Phillips's job away. Logic becomes some- what strained along here for somewhere during the Kiner in- structional period Jack emerged as a pitcher. ,t n rt "I was spending so much time with Ralph I didn't get much chance to work out myself," Phil -- lips said. "To make up for, it I atarted pitching a lot Of bat- ting practiee." e 0 4 In those days the Pirates were even more desperately in need of pitchers than today. During one three - day stretch Philips recalls the club employed 13 dif- ferent pitchers. a ..e. "One dray we were getting beaten badly. So many of our pitchers had been knocked out that along about the middle of the game Bili Meyer and I were practically the only ones left in the dugout. Finally he sent me down to the bullpen to warm up. 1 got in that day and pitched five innings against the braves. Bucky Walters was with them as a coach and after the game he told lie I had shown enough to convince him I could make it as a pitcher. After that I spent three straight clays in the bull. pen," ,. « For a time it appeared ati though wandering Jack Philips at last had found a permanent home, but that was quickly dis- pelled. One clay not long there.. after Phillips was in the bullpen getting ready to go in against the Giants. Before he could fin- ish his warm - up throws t h e Giants changed pitchers and Jack found himself entering the game as a pinch -hitter against Lefty Dave Iieslo. "I singlecl," Phillips said rue- fully. "And I never got dove to the bullpen again." Al "Goose" That Really Lays "Golden Eggs" June 4, 1953, may be put down as one of the eventful days in history 01 mankind. This was the day on which the world was told that the process had been proved by which marl can make more atomic power than he consumes. David Lilienthal said a lew years ago that the day this hap- pened, it would be the biggest news since the announcement of the original atomic bomb. The device is, in oversimpli- fied terms, a controlled, nonmili- tary atomic bomb. It is, an atomic furnace, or reactor. It consumes a certain type of eran- him. So does a bomb, in an un- controlled explosion. But the reactor or furnace in Idaho not only is controlled, but it produc- es more uranium than it con- sumes, The process is called breeding. What it does, in effect, is to bring mankind nearer to realiza- tion of an unlimited source of power than he ever has come before. It is a new concept of material power. The process of breeding means that as fast as atomic fuel is consumed in furnaces, or reac- tors, from which electric power is generated, new atomic fuel also will be created. These breeder furnaces thus will do two things: create power to be used on the spot, provide the fuel for more power. And that fuel, in turn, will provide power and create more fuel The allegory of the goose that laid the golden egg is thus cone true. The point of the announce- meat is not that a source of cheap power suddenly has been drop- ped into the lap of mankind, but Met a phenomenal — and that twnrd cannot hr exaggerated .— a ..3.�anw'�,:.'.uwwamrmwrar+a+ufrrx��.ni,. �-.....� cwma",wwawr CLASSIFIED AMIE TWIN AGlcN'Ete WA tom 4bft'1POR7: 1i11iNdTPY00 gg�'0kb --� MEN AND T94R81f OILS, GREASES, TIRES *ALVVES and yarnioheo, eicetrlo motors, .� 40130 CANADA'S LEADING t1O11005. electrical eppilaneeo, Hobbyahop Ma.
