Of course, there is a little thing like he will have to hit 62 home runs next time to keep all that filthy lucre flowing into the off-season Maris coffers, reputed to be located at Fort Knox, Ky. The 61 homers have already earned for him three times as much salary as the President of the United States received for 1961.

Roger should make the Hall of Fame for that, and likewise for the fact he already is the richest .260 hitter in the entire history of baseball. But he isn't a 10-year man yet. Maybe that bugs him. Maybe he is protecting himself financially against the horrid possibility that he won't qualify for that lucrative pension plan some day. Well, who's for penny ante? for the Red Sox.

"No," said Brown. "No, that's news to me. It will be newsto many who remember the powerful, rough, controversial Skilton, for his passing was scarcely noted by a world in which he had made a pretty big splash.

Before Eddie Shore, Skilton was Boston's most famous hockey player. A Rindge Tech graduate who never got to college, he became an all-round sand-. lotter called by Fred Hoey, one of his coaches, "the picturesque athlete in New England." In 1924, after he had played hockey 15 years on at least a dozen clubs, he was described like this: "Skilton packed more thrills in a hockey stick than any other player who has ever showed at the Arena, with the single exception of the late Hobey Baker." As a boy, George Owen saw them both. 'No Comparison in Styles' "There was no comparison in their styles," said the Milton Academy coach. "Baker was a fast, smooth, beautiful skater, much like Syl Apps, but not with quite the jump.

"Skilton was a terrifically colorful athlete, big and strong. He skated like a bull my style, I guess. He had a strong shot, not accurate, that he loved to hear boom off the boards." A brawler, Skilton was a home town idol who packed the fans in. One of them recalls, "We used to go to see him start trouble, and he never failed us." Once, at least, the laugh was on Skilton. He had to pick a referee, for a game in which he was playing.

His choice was the not-so-bashful Shorty Watson. Right after the opening face-off, Skilton was penalized. He started to protest, so Watson put him out for the rest of the game. Blacklisted by B.A.A. When he ran the Intercolonial Club of Roxbury, Skilton imported three Canadian players (O, so that's where it all started!) and beat the B.A.A.

He was immediately blacklisted by the B.A.A. But the Arena, which prospered on club hockey, needed Skilton. He was allowed to play for the Arena H.C. against the B.A.A. Later, he played for the B.A.A.

itself. Skilton was not on the team when Irving Small, in May, 1925, sued the Arena for back salary. In his expose, Small revealed that amateur and Olympic players were drawing up to $2200 a season. The money was left for them twice a month in a cigarette tin in the Arena office. Small's suit was settled out of court, but disillusioned Boston fans sadly turned to the new pros, the Bruins.

Club hockey has never been the same since. The Skiltons and Gerans, the Smalls and Hago Harringtons, the Eddie Enrights and Jack Hutchinsons were lions on Boston's Winter scene. "Those were great days, and I wish I was back in them," concluded Brown. His reason, though, was interesting: "I'd be a lot younger."
