Coming home, NHL ROUNDUP The nme Babe Dye mean mui-h to the younger generation hockey fans of today, but to the old-timen, the former hockey great, who died the other day, he was Justus an attraction as the MIL tgjj stars are today. Canadian Press sports editor Jack Sullivan story todiy will bring back memories for the ones who knew the Babe in his heyday: It has been that Dye could score goals his back turned against the neu, or from any angle This was an indirect tribute to his mother, who flooded the backyard of their Toronto home every w.nter and made Babe practice his shot.

But to the Babe, who died in Chicago on Wednesday, probably hia most moment came in the 1922 Stanley Cup final at the old Street Arena in Toronto, lie couldn't even find the net from point-blank range. Dye. right-winger with Toronto St. Pat's, was steaming in on goalie Hugh Lehman of Vancouver Millionaires when he was hauled down from behind by Art Duncan. Referee Copper Smeatdn, later a Cup trustee, awarded Dye a penalty shot, the first in Cup play.

Babe messed it up. He skated in on Lehman, let drive from about 3i feet and the puck sailed far over the net and St. Pat's, who eventually won the best-of-five series, lost 3-0. He ended as the series hero, though, scoring nine of Toronto's 16 goals, including four in the final game which St. Pat's won 5-1.

Dye was a slight man, about five feet eight inches and HH pounds, tnd a star among super-stars of the era including the greal Howie Morenz of Montreal Canadiens' fame. He was a player along the lines of Nels Stewart of the old Montreal Maroons who usually parked around the opposition's blueline waiting for a pas. And both had a flair for scoring goals. Stewart, who died in 1957, still ranks fourth in all-time NHL scoring with goals over a brilliant 15-year career with Maroons, Boston Bruins and. finally, New York Americans.

And he played in the years 1926-40 when the schedule called for 36, 44 and 48 games. The only players ahead of him are the retired Maurice Richard of Canadiens and Ted Lindsay of Detroit Red Wings and Chicago, and Gordie Howe, still an active operator with the Red Wings. Dye hit the NHL a few years before Stewart and when the schedule called for 24 and 30 games, and he is one of 33 players with 200 fcoalj; or more. He ended an eight-year stint In the big leasee with 202. Ted 'Toronto Telegram' Reeve, who has been prowling the sports beat for 30 years or more, says that Dye had the best shot he ever saw in hockey.

'That is." says Ted, "it was as fast as any levelled by the great fire power players, but he got it away so much faster. Big forearms and wrists and that unaccountable set of reflexes some fellows have; there crack like the report of a starter's gun, sort of a short chopjj motion as the scrambling, skating right-winger let fly. No wind-up such as a slap shot of today. "It was almost as if he drove down at the inside of the puck. Whatever the cause, that biscuit would be quiv ering on its way before a goalie could get set for it."
