l I I MOUNT PLEASANT PORTS COLUMN Hotkey has faded trow into that past envelope events so rapidly ufteuons overlap with hockey on baseball way In on hotkey Mm the rapsJIIfpMrtlost Indivi dual feat are entered in the Tkere an award for fadi in the major hockey of many too in the leases which fa the way should can rtso above the level and sow to by their own skill and courage and spirit only fair and just that this should be in some tangible fashion Unfortunately for player the National Hockey League who did all this plus there is no award for a coura geous comeback not even a special notation in the records which are coldly mathematical and delve into the human side Yet if any player deserved some recognition that would entitle him to special notation special award that player who should have been worthy in large and generous measure of such recognition would have been Winnipegs Samuel James Sugars Jiih Henry of the Boston Bruins who survived the buffeting of Fate survived a fire that scarred his hands and arms and returned to stardom Hockey developed some great figures the past season but we doubt if any of these is so compelling so fraught with the rugged romance of sport as the return of Henry to the Big Time This is pure Hollywood throughout the piece A highvoltage scriptwriter could pen no more gripping drama Jim Henry first won a Spot in the major lea with New York Hut his stay there was short for at the end of first season he enlisted the Army to serve in World War remained there until the end of the Then he returned to hockey played briefly with Rangers after his sports pathway was a lane thai seemed to be leading nowhere Twice He came up to Ranters alter nating with minor league chores Then to Chicago in the Big Time then suddenly faaek to the minors for three seasons This Isnt of as Wstory Henrys hockey meander ing We merely paint it in for background to prove that despite vicissitudes real courage doesnt weaken Three years in the minors was bad enough but the worst came in the summer of A flash fire suddenly enmeshed Henry at a summer resort camp he was badly burned about the hands and arms That you might think would spell the end of a career in hockey where hands with speed and certainty are for almost as essential as lightning reflexes But Henry didnt give up He reported to the Detroit camp of the Red Wings for he had played the previous sea son for Indianapolis a Detroit farm team But Indianapolis already had a good goaler young Hall so the chances for Henry with his burned hands remaining even in minor hockey looked slim But Boston Bruins of the National League needed a They tried to buy Hall but against their own judg ment were talked into purchasing Sugar Henry for a moderate sum The club started poorly Boston didnt win a game in its first ten Henrys job seemed shaky Then the team improved but near the end seemed to have little chance to make the playoffs for the Stanley Cup But near the end of the race Bruins started to roll They won or tied all but of their last And the star the steadying in fluence that backgrounded the drive that carried them into the finals Why none other than Sugar Henry with his unshaken courage Theres no prize for comebacks for those who survive the bludgeoning of fate with head unbowed If there was Sugar Jim Henry would be one of the candidates tor column wilt welcomed
