Twice New York had the bases fun

HAS THE VETERAN CY YOUNG
LOST HIS ABILITY TO PITCH?

Is Cy Young. the grand old man Of
baseball, going back?
This Is a question which American
league followers all over the country
are asking this summer. and the Cleve-
land bugs, where Young Is idolized ana
where he made his first start In fast
company, are more than worried.
This Is Young's twenty-second year
as pitcher and In all that time he has
always been at the top OF the heap
when the averages are made up at the
end Of the season. Always ready and
willing To work. Young has won the
esteem and friendship OF all lovers OF
good baseball.
This year the grand old-timer IS
having hard time getting started.
Manager Jim Mcclure has sent him
to the mound five or six times and
each time the veteran has lost his
game. Apparently he has all OF his
old-time speed and curves. but he has
been unable up 10 date TO keep them
away from the batter.
Young Is now 43 years old. pretty
old for a baseball player. The secret
