Hockey’s Jack Benny Returns To Pros
VANCOUVER, B.C. — Anything that hasn’t happened to Martin Joseph (Pat) Egan is hardly worth happening. Like for instance: Patrick toiled three winters with the defunct New York Americans and the equally defunct Brooklyn Americans in the National Hockey League. That must have been an emotional catharsis in itself. But the Amerks, remember, expired from the sordid scene in 1941-42. That wasn’t yesterday, Cyril.

More important, you Lave to be good fast. That’s the way it was with Metro Prystai. It has happened to a few others. And a very few. when the time came to move over for. perhaps, another pistonlegged kid from the Prairies—they moved all the way. “I ain’t going to play in the minors.” they’d say. “1 got my pride.” Pride, of course, is what they did not have.
