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 a 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 ana
willing 10 work. Young has won the
esteem and friendship OF all lovers OF
good baseball.
This year the grand old-timer !s
having hard time getting started.
Manager Jim McGHire 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 10 keep them
away from the batter.
Young is now 43 years old. pretty
old for baseball player. The secret
of his success has been. he says. the
care he has always taken OF himself.

JACK LETS DOWN
JEFFR|ES HUSTLES
Negro Loses Enough Weight While
White Man Boxes Three Heavies
Every Day.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-Dick
Adams. OF the Jeffries training stan,
who watched Johnson box with Kauf'
man, declared today he thought the
battle would be a particularly tough
one, but that Jeffries would win inside
OF 20 rounds.
Johnson can put up stiff fight ana
land some good blows" said Adams.
He is swift on his feet and Jeffries
will have some trouble in hitting him,
but he will finally get to the big
Negro and then it will be all on
Johnson has let down considerably
In his work He is down 10 2lO
pounds and doesn't want to take on
any more weight He still does some
light road work and boxing. but little
hard work that would be liable 10
make him lose weight.
Jeffries intends TO spend the rest oil
his time doing a lot of boxing. Yes
terday he put in nine hard rounds. The
first three were with Armstrong. and
they mixed II up in splendid style
Then Jeffries took on Sam Berger and
Joe Choynsh for six rounds. The big
fellow took no rest between rounds
simply fighting his two opponents
alternately. three minutes for each
man. In a word. Jeff boxed IS min
utes without rest and showed up In
fine form.
Jeffries' action in finally paying that
SO 900 gambling debt at Reno, New.
was unexpected. JEFF has always
claimed he was cheated in the game
but paid rather than break training K
go to Reno to fight the suit.

Dollars TO doughnuts Detroit leads
the league by July 4 and II the Tigers
do they never will be headed. the
situation now is ideal for getting out
IN front and sticking there.
Today finds the Athletics on top by
the narrow margin OF one more VIC
tory than the Highlanders possess: y
Mack and crew should be gratefnl 10
Detroit for putting a crimp IN the
standing of their most violent enemy
Inasmuch as defeat costs more
than q victory counts when above the
800 mark. Detroit will have to win
two straight. while the Athletics lose
two. In order to get out In front: NAT
ought to be easy. The conditions
favor such a change.
During the part OF the western trip
Just completed. New York and Phila-
delphia have had all the advantage
save when In Detroit. They had the
three easy teams OF the league. De-
'troit had to encounter Washington,

properly defeated and II comes De-
,troit's turn to get some OF the soft
things.
The Tigers have games with Bos'
ton. three with Chicago and four with
st. Louis. here. not including two post
poned affairs with the Browns. There
is one-day stop in ST. Louis, and one
game with Cleveland here. before the
Fourth arrives The Tiges ought 10
1atten their averages somewhat dur

The beautiful part OF the situation

HONEST OPINIONS
TICES WILL LEAD
BY JULY FOURTH

New York and Philadelphia VIII meet
in six contests. four at the metropolis
and two al Showdown. Something Is
bound TO happen in those six games
II the rivals break even and Detroit
does only reasonably well with the
western clubs the Tigers will get the
coveted top position without much ef-
fort.
In addition 10 these games New
York must play four at Cleveland and
four with Washington. The Athletics
have four at Chicago and four at home
with Boston.
The hot weather seems TO have
brought about the proper condition
ing OF the pitching stan which bother
ed Manager jennings more than any
thing else. Mullin has been high-ciass
all year, and now Willett and sum
mers showed against New York that
they are ready 10 carry their share OF
the burden. Stroud In the two most
recent games he worked, looked as
though he was entitled TO place as
regular.
The Tigers have such an array OF
hitting and base-running talent that
there is no doubt about the onense.
The team always can get enough runs
and heretofore IL has been question
simply of keeping the other fellows
of the bases. II seems like the only
weak spot IN the defense-the pitch
ing Is now strong.
So, while New York and the Athletics
are cutting each others threats. just
keep your eyes open TO see Detroit
collecting from the western clubs,
and prepare TO behold the Tiges lead
ing the parade when Independence
day comes around.

There Is also a strong spring arrange
