CY YOUNG IS DETERMINED
 TO CONTINUE GREAT CAREER

times last summer when I wished l was back on the farm.
 But just now I am feeling as good as I ever did. Farm life always did agree with me. and think am in bet ter physical condition than when I came home In october. As far as I am concerned, l am not through with the great old game In fact. am planning to go to Hot Springs about February 1 and get ready for the season. And before you hang up your phone want you to say this: Cy Young Is not through yet With the team that Cleveland had in the field when the season ended he will take down a rec ord of better than .500 next year. With that team behind him all this year he
 would have won more than half his games in 1910. That's all Goodby-- until the training trip starts. I'll be there"

will clout one through my legs instead of bunting. Well, he's liable to do that anyway and if he should happen to clout
 one the other way it would be better to have the first baseman playing back for
 him. I can see no reason why the plan
 wouldn't hold the baserunner closer to the bag and prevent his running wild.
 There's no doubt in my mind that the third baseman, pitcher and catcher are enough men to handle all bunts, so why
 should the first baseman be drawn in,
 too thus breaking up the entire infed
 and allowing the baserunner to take such
 liberties. Of course. the play applies
 when there is a runner. only on first.
 but that's the condition that exists for
 about nine-tenths of the bunting. I don't
 know how many managers will agree with me on this scheme, but I'd just like to try it out and if 1t won't work then I'm ready to go back to shortstop and keep my mouth shut sgta
 Joe said he never had suggested the scheme to Manager Frank Chance or anyone else and made it plain that he
 was not after Harry Steinfeldt's job at
 third base either: but he said that If | there was to be change made at third base next year he would ask for chance to be tried, and once on the job he in- | tends to request that his scheme of i breaking up the bunting game be prac- ticed and put into operation.
 l If 1t works with anything like the ac- | curacy and precision of 'Tinker's plans on | paper 1t would soon be adopted by all l the major league clubs and then such fieet-footed athletes as Ty Cobb, Eddie | Collins. Bob Bescher, Hans Lobert and Larry Doyle would find half their prow- | ess on the base lines eliminated. a.
