any mans arm in shape" was Cy's reply
as to his method of keeping away from
bad arm. II never work when l see that
l haven't my speed. I know at once
needs rest, and l always see that 1t gets
the required amount"
"Massaging a pitchers arm may be all
right for some pitchers. but 1t never ap-
query about it's value. Il have never once
had my arm rubbed. no matter how many
innings I pitch. / simply get under the
shower, take my bath, get into my street
clothes and give the arm complete rest un-
til it's my next turn to work. Just before
the game always timber up good"
According to Young. no pitcher can be-
come really great one unless he is
backed up by a good receiver In a hun
twirler depends upon the manner in which
his backstop handles the game. It would
be hard, indeed. to convince Cy that
there are any better catchers than Lou
have been scored with criger doing the
receiving. His implicit confidence In
Criger's ability is proven by the fact
that never once in the last five years has
he shook his head at the signal given him.
Thereby hangs an interesting tale.
Cy was working a game against New
York one day and had his opponents
beaten to up to the eighth. In that
inning New York got men on first and
second after two men had been retired.
The next batter was only a fair hitter.
and Criser wasn't bit excited over the
situation. He signaled Cy for a certain
curve, but the big fellow shook his head.
Criger was bit sore and gave him the
same signal. but again Cy refused to
deliver it. Criger changed signs and the
batter hit the first ball pitched for three
bases. winning the game.
Young claims that the experience taught
him that Criger was a better student Of
the batters than he. and since that time
he has always pitched according to Cri-
gers judgment.
Not so many years ago Cy used to work
every third day. and liked It, but now
four or five days rest makes a bigger
hit with him. He admits himself that
he IS much better with the longer rest,
but insists that it's his body and not his
arm that requires the extra time.
Young Is naturally big man. and car
ries some few pounds more now than he
did eight or ten years ago. The extra
weight interferes somewhat with his agil-
ity. and he claims that his legs and body
are much more tired after hard game
than his arm. No man can go on for
while admitting that his finish is coming
says that he still has number Of years
OF work in him.
Much Of Young's success is due to the
model life he has led. He is q believer
In the two meals a day plan. but says
himself that he eats more at breakfast
and dinner than the average man would
partake Of In six meals
1t will indeed be interesting to follow
foung's career and watch how long he
will really be able to pitch up to the big
league standard.

The battle of ballots is lost and

national convention Is concerned.

the slump in Mr.. Bailey's vote Is
known by his adherenrs as we'll as by
his opponents. Elucidation upon
this phase OF the result we deem I'M

The Daily Panhandle took no part
in the contest and is therefore enti-
tied to neither credit nor censure for

unity, and so continue in their glo-

To the Editor:
1t would be to the best interest
OF the Panhandle and Amarillo
country II the people Of each COM
munity would form a gin club and
build gin, and encourage the plan
OF planting and cultivation OF cot
ton in each community, especially
so since the people of Amarillo are
going to furnish the seed to the farm
ers free On condition that they will
plant and cultivate the cotton them
selves. This will, OF course, give
the additional seed crop in the way
of cotton seed and will cause to be
built, the Amarillo cotton seed oil
mill at Amarillo, Texas. This will
be a great benefit to the packing in
tors g. - ~''ll encourage the people
OF the Amarillo country to rough and
full-feed cattle, and make available
to the people at all times, cotton
seed meal cotton seed cake and cot
ton seed hulIs. Too much cannot be
said and done to bring about this
condition in the upper Panhandle
and plains country. Respectfully,
