It must be remembered that when Nick went to Saint John he hadn't laced a skate on up to that point.

Halifax Sripplc With Sportsman's Heart lllcs At 24

HALIFAX. Dec. 9 -—(CP)—Litile Joseph Al-Molky, 24 yggy 01d Lebanese boy with a sportamaifs heart but the shrunken limbs o! a Paraplegic. died suddenly in his sleep today.

Joe's chief ambition-to see Tor- onto Maple Leafs in actiom-was fulfilled last October when the Leafs‘ manager, Connie Smythe 1n- vited him and his family to Tor- onto's Maple Leaf Gardens to see big time hockey for the first time Ii his life.

Anotlher aim, which he hoped to achieve next sprint: was to enter the baseball-playing Arrows in the city's juvenile league with himself as manager.

Disease left Joe a helpless cripple shortly after his parents, Mr, and Mrs. Al-Molky, brought him to Halifax from Lebanon 22 years ago. Although he was unable to play With the kids who used the slopes of Citadel Hill or the open spaces of tlhe Halifax common near his lhome for diamonds, he attended every ball game. pulled in a little red and yellow express cart by some neighborhood friend.

A familiar sight at all senior baseball and hockey games, Joe also never missed a Saturday night broadcast of the National Hockey League games.

When tlhe Canadian Paraplegics Association heard of his love for sports they interested manager Smythe in him.
