For a goalie to win that honor in his first full season of N.H.L. play (he appeared in 13 games for the Montreal Canadiens last year) is roughly akin to a Little Leaguer's slapping a home run off Tom Seaver.

"I think he has handled all the attention like a real big leaguer," says Mets Manager Gil Hodges. But there is one thing that goes to Jones' head: the barrage of pitches from National League hurlers, who are employing the traditional retaliatory weapon against a hot hitter. Cleon is not intimidated. He sprawls in the dirt, dusts himself off, clutches his bat and plants his feet solidly again-while delirious...
