NEXT YEAR MAY BE
LAST FOR CY YOUNG
Unless He Pitches Winning
Ball Fight Will be
Losing One

CLEVELAND, Dec 27.-NeXt sea
son may be the last one for "Cy"
Young as Nap. The grand old mau
OF baseball will have TO fight il out
with the young pitchers for "a place
ON The STAFF, and unless he pitches bet
Ter ball than he did last season his
fight Will be a losing one.
Time was when Nap owners were
swayed by sentiment, but the re-
lease of Elmer Flick aud bill"
Bradley marked the close of the old
order. The club policy has also
changed from the conservative groove
that had It's ending in the old shell
of team that staggered after mid
season in 1909 and went TO pieces
last season. A star was given for a
players who looked good in the Clarke
Griggs deal.
Old "Cy' was not a drawing card
last season because he was not a
winner. He won seven and lost ten
games Nap fans turned out little
stronger than usual when he was to
pitch for Boston, due TO hero worship
from his long and wonderful career.
They We're pleased whether he won or
lost but he had TO win for Cleveland
to continue a popular favorite.
Old-time fans will be sorry to see
Young go. if he goes, but there are
100 fans who prefer to see the Maps
win to one attracted by the announce
ment that "Cy" is to pitch
Old "Cy" will be given every chance
next spring. He may still be a good
pitcher. but he is not counted on
The young pitchers are expected to be
the whole show. "Then there's Young"
Is the way the Nap officials size up the
1911 stan. If old "Cy' comes back,
we'll and good; if he doesn't there will
be nothing lost.

ALL-DELAWARE
CRIDIRON TEAM
Coach Lennon of Fort dupont
Lines Up AII-Star Team
of the State

sporting Editor EVENING JOUR
NAL.-I have selected what 1 believe
TO be a fair and impartial All-Dcla-
ware football team for 1910. in MAX
ING these selections 7 have chosen
men who are defensive as well as
offensive players For ends I would
choose Southard, of Orange, and
Schwartz. of Fort DUPONT. They are
the best defensive men in this State
and can also carry tho ball we'll.
McAleer, of Orange, and Bamel, Of
Delaware College are without ques-
tion the best tackles i'm the State,
showing ability to box opponents in
nearly every game played this past
season. Al the guards, Hersey, of Du-
Pont and Dean. of Delaware College,
get the call Hersey is "A far better
guard than any seen on Delaware
gridirOns for several years. He is
powerful on offensive in opening holes
for his backs and is excellent on de-
fensive. getting through often and
blocking kicks of opponents.
For the pivotal position it is hard
TO choose between Tucker, of Orange.
and Mcintosh, Of DUPONT. Tucker is
slightly faster and therefore gets the
position. For my backs ] select
Evans, of DUPONT, at fullback; Carr,
Dupont, right half. and Heilner, Or
ange. left half. Joslyn, of Orange,
and Cousins, of DUPONT, are very
hard TO choose between for quarter
back Joslyn runs his team we'll and
is good both on defensive and Often
sive. carrying the ball for good gains.
Cousins is great on returning punts
and pulled off many long end runs
during the year He Is very fast and
] will pick him jointly with Joslyn
for quarter back
In this back-iield you have both
backs who can run the ends and those
who can plunge the line. Evans. Of
Dupont, may be contracted at full,
but one must consider his kicking
ability. He averages 15 yards farther
than his nearest competitor. and in
running back a kick his equal is not

For end running Carr Is the best
seen I'm Delaware this year. AS "a
line-breaker Hcilner Is excellent and
With Joslyn or Cousins directing their
play this would be the best back-feld
In the State.

an early publication. Everybody seems
10 be picking teams in all the States

Carpenter seemed TO have some oppo-

tho annual meeting In January. Car
penter was the real thing In the Ban

Recent occurrences at Washing

ent is the hold that the old guard
democracy has on the democratic

that the better element OF the
party can never break, d .
hold that is strAngling the very
existence Of that party. Cannon
has never been accused Of dis
honesty in his work in Congress
and even his enemies give him
credit for doing what he firmly
believed was right. Again " .
find the parallel in the old guard
and democracy-sxcept that the
old guard has been accused Of
crimes, and has never done its
work from a sense Of right, but
of might. Witness the defeat Of
