Smallest player on the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team is their reserve right wing, 137-lb. Ken Doraty. In a way his insignificant appearance is an advantage: opposing defensemen find it hard to be prepared for the sudden bursts of speed his short legs can achieve.

Part-payment on the title was his gift to Britain of a new wing for London's National Portrait Gallery. Last week ruddy Duveen, a Lord at last, listened proudly in the Gallery's great tapestry-hung hall while King George ceremoniously declared the wing open through the "generosity of . . . Sir Joseph Duveen." Listening too were Queen Mary and Prime Minister MacDonald. From pictures on the walls Britain's dead great looked...
