ICY" YOUNG TO RETIRE.
Veteran Twirls His Last Game for
Cleveland Team.

Cleveland, O., June 8.--Denton Te-
cuseh Young, one OF the greatest char
acters produced in baseball, has made
his final appearance in the major
leagues Waivers have been asked on
the veteran pitcher ana, with only a
few more days left, of the allotted
time "Cy's" twenty years of toiling
in the big arena will come To an end.
II is doubtful if he will be claimed and.
as ICY" always has said he will not
drift to the minors. the chances are
he will spend his remaining days on
his farm i'm Ohio. lie reached fame,
which probably never viii be equalled,
by winning 5O4 games in the National
and American leagues. lie has not
pitched a game this season, being at

MORE PLAYERS TRY TO
STEAL THIRD BAG NOW
CATCHER is AT DISADVANTAGE
IN MAKING THE THROW.
MUST CHANGE STYLE TO STOP
PORLOINlNG.

The change i'm the amount Of cork
and rubber in the ball seemed to be
about the only thing i'm the game this
season, but fans who watch the game
closely have discovered that more men
are stealing and attempting to steal
third base now than ever before, and II
is probable that before the summer is
over the catchers and pitchers will
have to change their style consdera-
bly, to meet the new conditions.
The ballplayers themselves insist
that it is a much easier proposition
to sneak from second TO third than
from first to second. and it certainly
looks easier. The man on second can
take a lead off the bag about equal To
the distance of the shortstop from the
base. and no such start is possible from
first, for when a runner is at the ini-
tial station the man covering the base
sticks right on the job. The catcher
I'm throwing to second TO get man
stealing has a direct throw from the
plate: but II he throws To third he
must make a half turn at least before
letting the ball go. Then, too, the
catchers for years have been practicing
the throw TO second. and must spend
some time i'm becoming accurate with
the shorter throw to third, and the
third baseman is never In ms good a
position to tag a man coming To his
bag as the player covering second.
Managers used to think that it was
poor policy to steal third. because a
man on second would score on hit,
anyway. Now il Is being considered in
a different light If a man gets to
third and the throw to catch him is
bad he can keep right on for home;
or If he reaches third and stops there
he can score on a fly To the outiield
or on passed ball without waiting
for the hit which would have tailed
him from second.

One feature i'm connection with the

HUGHES HAS NEW THEORY.
Says New Balls Are Heavier Than tho
OIL Once.

Tom Hughes of Washington is of the
opinion that the new cork-ccnter ball
weighs more than the regulation five
ounces nor more than five and one
this which is making it SO hard for
many Of the pitchers to show their
form. He holds that the now bali. be-
ing heavier, makes a great difference
and will continue to do SO until the
pitchers get used to II. 1t makes it
harder to curve. and lack of control
also results. The rule provides that
the ball shall not weigh less than five
ounces nor more than I'VE and one
quarter ounces. Hughes believes that
some of the balls he has been asked to
pitch weighed nearer six than five oun-
ces, and that this places a great hand
leap on the pitcher.

Board OF Review of Village OF Laurium
in Session.
The first session of the board Of re-
view of the village of Laurium was
held yesterday. only a few of the tax
payers appeared before the board with
grievances and it is likely that few
changes will be made in the roll. The
assessment for this year varies but
little from the assessment for last
year. The board will be in session two
more days and the last day probably
will be devoted to adjusting any as
sessments against which complaints
have been entered.
Trustees Harry Ingcrsoll, George
Hall and Joseph Galipeau have been
named on n committee To appraise the
property owned by the village of Laur-
ium. so that 1t may appear at its prop
or value on the statement which Is to
