Mrs. Thomas Armstrong Passed Away at the Family Home Yesterday

Mrs. Thomas Armstrong Jr-. g years of age, wife of Judge Armstrong, one of the best known citizens of Arizona, died at the family home, 521 East Mon roe street. yesterday at noon. The i'm mediate cause of death was dropsical rheumatism
 Mrs. Armstrong has been III for the past several months and it mas been known for week that her recovery was hopeless. The six children of Judge and Mrs. Armstrong, Thomas A, Helen, Marian, Margaret, Jean and Robert were all at home at the time of their mothers death.
 There were few women in Phoenix better known than Mrs. Armstrong and there were few women who held so firm a grasp on the affections of their friends The kindly disposition of the deceased, her splendid home making qualities and her broad sympathies eX- acted not only the enduring affection of the family circle but the admira- ton and respect of the entire com- munity. The blow is a hard one for the family whose bitter grief would be gladly shared by scores of friends if that were possible.
 Mrs. Armstrong was B years of age at the time of her death. Twenty eight years ago she was married to Judge Armstrong in Wisconsin and in 1892 they remOvedg to this city, where they have lived ever since.

BALL FANS GALLERY
 OF NOTABLES
cY YOUNG.
The Perennial Institution.

Almost a quarter of a century ago, when Young was a description as well as a name Denton T, now bet ter known as "Cy," was taken on by the Cleveland club to do a work-out against Anson. There hasn't been a season since then that the name of Cy Young hasn't come in for respect full mention at the hands of the report er-boys, and general and genuine ad miratiOn from the fans of the major minor friendly and rival teams. To- day, the big fellow, who looks like an ice-wagon, but isn't, is an institu- tion.
 Even in the days of his youth, Young wasn't of the faun-like proportions that give for grace. If you spoke of him as awkward or blundersome in ap- pearance, there was no chance for a pettifogging lawyer to collect anything for a libel for that was certainly the way Young impressed the beholder. He looked like a sprawly, overgrown New foundland, or a farm hand dropped in from the pasture for an unwonted frOlic with the athletes.
 When the gentleman began to pitch, the impression of awkwardness faded away from the mind of the spectator Young had speed, control and an as- sorted line of waiting wares, an eye like a hawk bird, so that it cost you a put-out about every time you tried to sneak a base; and a disposition that was kind and gentle as a bridegroom's in the first week of the happy honey moon. After that early trial against Anson's Chicago outfit, Cleveland wouldn't have traded Young for the sub treasury. He broke into imme- diate favor, and has been there ever since
 Last season, Young won his 500th game, it being the second game of double header against Washington. No other ball player on top of the profes- sional baseball earth has pitched 800 winning games, and it has taken even young a full twenty -one years to set the mark Besides consistent pitching, he is in possession of the brilliant end of the delivery as we'll. Every now and then he slips through a no-hit game. and even the staidest of cOnser- vative papers dig up a half-tone cut and give the old boy a place on Page | Just to keep the fame of this dis tinguished performer fresh in the mind of thes reafsss here followeth his rec ord.
