Hockey always was the Babe’s first love, although he might have made his way to fame in baseball as did another Babe of the same decade—Babe Ruth. The late Connie Mack offered Babe Dye, an all-around ath- lete, $25,000—a phenomenal sum at that time — to turn profes- sional with baseball's Philadeél- phia Athletics in 1921. Dye turn- ed the offer down because he gaid it would conflict with his hockey career. To this day. few people dis- pute the power of Dye’s famous shot. Those who played with him still think he had the deadliest shot in hockey. Dye played cight seasons as a right winger in the NHL—seven with Toronto St. Patricks and one with Chicago Black Hawks. In that time he scored 202 goals a tremendous performance considering that some of the sea- sons were only one-third of the suffering co meee nena ence tee ne eae ae gece eerie eo capitan Today, only a select few in the |. NHL recularly score 20 goals a season with the longer scheduilc and most of them need 10 sca- sons or more to reach the select 200-goal circle. COLLEAGUES SADDENED Tributes came quickly when the news of Dye’s death reached the hockey world. Aurel] Joliat, who played with Montreal Canadiens when Dye was at the peak of his career, said he was ‘‘very saddened” at the news. Corb Dennenay, who centred a line with Dye and Reg Noble for St. Pats, said: “Babe Dye certainly had the best shot in hockey. He didn’t skate fast. He didn't have to—all he had to do was get that puck and shoot.” Clarence (Hap) Day, who broke into pro ranks as a centre and had Dye on the wing, said: “While he wasn’t a particularly good skater. he was always in position to take a pass. As far as aceurecy is concerned, I haven't seen a player in recent years to match Dye.” Dye, a native of Hamilton, twice captured NHL scoring honors——in 1922-23 with 37 points and in 1924-25 with 44 points in- cluding 37 goals. Short and stocky, Dye weighed only 150 pounds and stood five- foot-eight in his playing days. But size meant little to him as) he also played pro baseball (out- field) with Buffalo of the Inter- national League and pro foot- ball with Toronto Argonauts. Later he was a coach and ref- present-day 70-game schedule.

The 21-year-old Toronto Ma- pic Leaf centre, nursing a groin injury so painful that he has been excused from practice ses- sions for more than a week, hobbled onto the ice for Wed- nesday night’s ‘game with the National Hockey League leaders. In the first period he beat ‘Plante for the Leafs’ second goal in what turned out to be a 3-1 victory over the Canadiens. In the second period he beat the goaltender twice but both shots hit goalposts. Then he sent -ta long drive at Plante that the unnerved netminder allowed 10 bounce in off his stick. From a goaltender unaccust- omed to such glaring miscues, there could be no more sincere tribute to last year’s NHL prize rookie. — Bobby Hull, celebrating his 23rd birthday, scored Chicago's first goal and then set up Stan Mikita for the other. _ The Hawks, winning their sec- ond game in a row after tying four, now have a four-point bulge over the fifth-place De- troit Red Wings. |; After Dick Duff opened the Toronto scoring with his 13th goal of the season, Keon con- nected’ with a rising sevcn- j footer. - He was awarded his, penalty shot when he was dragged down by Montreal’s Ralph Backstrom while in the clear.
