strength shown the past few days,
the stock market went to pieces this
afternoon, and one of the most Sc,

The suddenness swept the traders of

the crash came the announcement

Entered Big League With Cleveland
ciub-His Advice to Players.
When the season Of major league
ball opened this year and the roster
of the Boston Americans was given
to the public, many an old time fan
smiled at the name Of Denton Tecum-
sch Cy Young, the veteran twirIer, and
many were the inquiries made as TO
the possibility of his retiring before
the curtain was drawn down in Octo-
Der.
Few looked TO see him last the sea
son out-in fact, for several years the
fans have been looking for his cue to
withdraw from the diamond
He is the same old Cy today that he
was In 1902, when to a facetious in
quiry he said that he would pitch as
long as he felt like it; that nobody
could get an injunction to prevent him
from twirling except Father Time.
Cy is an odd character in that he
refuses absolutely to discuss his past
history as ball tosser He won't tell
LIS SlOStSt lLlcuu now OIL ne was
when he started to play the game. and
he is equally reticent about raking
over his past performances.
But to the young player who seeks
his advice about getting in condition
and being able to stay in the game
as long MS the veteran himself Cy lays
down n few simple rules, which are
as follows:

along among the trees not fifty yards away. Spen-
did creatures they were, with their shaggy coats
waving they ran, like fields of ripening wheat in
breeze. They were big brutes, looking taller and
heavier than any of our dogs. With wistful faces
and soft, friendly eyes they kept company for
over two hours. The dogs, of course fretted to be
at them; but the wolves were not afraid for they
