The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1908-07-25

major league baseball covers period
of 10 years it is all the more wonder
full and speaks well for the staying
qualities for the Boston Red Sox
twirler.
His recent no-hit, no-run game
against the Highlanders shows that
Young is still in the height of his
career and all the talk about his going
back is purely invention.
But 81 New York batsmen faced
Young. He allowed one base on balls,
but the man who drew 1t was thrown
out attempting to steal. Young had
but three strikeouts to his credit, but
his control was perfect, and the High
landers, although able to hit the ball,
were unable to land safely.
1t was by only the narrowest sort
of margin that Young missed
equaling his wonderful record made
August 5, 1904, when, against the Phil
adelphia Athletics, he did not allow
man to reach first base. This record,
shared by John M Ward, who in 1880,
when he was pitching for Providence.
performed the same feat on the Buff
falo team, is one of the most remark
able records of major league base
ball. When he was pitching against
the Athletics Young was by no means
a youngster in big league company, as
every one knows. He was then in his
fifteenth year of major league ball.
This season he is completing his nine
tenth.
In 1897, when he was with Cleve-
land, he shut out the Cincinnati team
without hit or run and in 1904 his
record performance made the second
in the string. No-hit, no-run. games
have. been fairly numerous in major
| league baseball The list of pitchers
who have performed in such contests
since 1879 reads like an honor list OF
| the great firing line artists of history.
Needless to say, Cy's record is one OF
the brightest
His game against the Athletics was
pitched in Boston.
