Jumps to American League.
When the American League took up
the cudgels against the parent organiza-
ton Young, with his native shrewdness,
saw the advantage an opposition circuit
meant to the ball player. and therefore
jumped to Boston. With Boston Young
never wavered an iota. In 1903 and 1904
he helped win pennants. He might be do
ing the same today, but Boston suffered
a reaction after its championship, and,
through no fault of Young's, went to
pieces. 1t is now in course of recon-
StructiOn
Although ten years is the longevity of
the average pitcher, Young passed the
mark and is still bowling over opposing
batsmen. His arm must. be made Of
harveyized STEEL
Young's rare success is due to his great
constitution and the fact that he is an
outdoor man. Bred on farm in Ohio,
Cy Is a lover of the Open City life has
no attraction for this big. honest. good
natured giant.
When his season is finished Young i'm
mediately returns to his farm and works
the entire winter The wood-splittinR
franchise on the Young farm Is held by
Young himself, and every morning when
1t is still dark he arises early and feeds
the stock. Virtually the only time he
is indoors is when he sleeps and eats,

A Regular Rube.
Eighteen years of association with base
ball teams has not changed Young. To-
day one can tell that he is a farmer as
he sits in the big plush chairs of the no.
tel. He talks with a drawl. and such
words "spell' and "calcerlate" fire.
quently come from his lips. With his
hands placed in pockets in the front Of
his trousers he is a typical RUDE. But
Young must not by any means be re-
garded as a clown He commands the
respect Of his teammates, and nobody
has ever attempted to take liberties with
him.
1t must not be inferred that Young
lasts simply because he was fortunately
endowed with an arm which won't wear
out. The last is true. but Young's brain
plays as big a part In his success as
Young's muscle The big farmer is a
thorough student Of the scientific side of
pitching. and is quick to grasp new points
and develop them.
During the first few years of Youne's
career he depended solely on binding
speed to deceive the. cbatsmen; today he
has little of everything. He has been
using the slow ball for a number of
years. and in the last two seasons ne
has been using the Splitter occasionally,
but not frequently enough to give him
the name Of q spitball Ginger.

Memphis June 2S.-The Commercial Appeals weekly cotton crop summary says:
 The past week was one of uninter- rupted cultivation and growth in cot ton. The crop with the exception of eastern Oklahoma Is now clean and in excellent condition.

In some sections. notably south ern Texas the plant is very large and we'll ad- vanced for the season.

ARMY TRAGEDY IS
 RECALLED IN CELL

Montgomery, June 2S.-A tragedy at the Presidio, San Francisco, eight years ago, was recalled here tonight when J. G.. Henderson, arrested for drunkenness, was found a raving maniac in a cell. Hender- son was a private soldier in Company c, Twenty-ninth United States volun- teers, and served In the Philippine cam paign. When the regiment returned to San Francisco and was encamped there Henderson shot and killed Corporal Chase of his company with a Krag Jorgensen rifle. Before a courtmartial he pleaded self-defense and was acquitted. When he was mustered out of the army Hender- son became a wanderer and the crime preyed upon his mind.
 It was coincidence that Patrolman D. T. Lee, who was sent to the cell to subdue Henderson, was a soldier in fhe Philippines and a member of the Twea- ty-ninth regiment.
 Henderson will be sent to his old home at Tallassee, where he has not been since he enlisted in the army
