Truly, Cy Young is a marvellous In
dividual.
Down at Hot Springs, tuning up for
his twenty-second season as a major
Lacquer, the old man is being touted
as the topnotch box artist of he Bos-
ton Nationals. Physically, he looks
a good deal better than he did last
year., but what Is more important, he
has tried his ancient salary wing out
and it seems to be working in the
same old way.
at am particularly anxious to make
good this year." declared Cy. as he
strolled off the field after pitching four
very successful innings against Jake
Stahl's sharp-hitting Yanigans. Only
sixteen men had faced him. four to an
inning, and four of them had famed.
Two of the four hits garnered OFF
him were due to bad bounds on the
irregular ground.
Just why Cy Is SO anxious to show
he didn't explain. Probably, though,
it's because so many critics are pick
ing him to blow.
"You see," he said, "I don't know the
National League batsmen as we'll as
1 think l ought to. but 1 feel filter
than / have in a long time. / am
trained down better than in years, and
/ rather look for another good season"
Manager Killing was one of the first
to connect safely with Cy's benders.
He hit a long double against the left
field wall. The next time he came up
Cy's rugged face, baked brown by the
Southern suns, split in a grin. He
whipped three fast ones across and
Johnny didn't come within a foot Of
any Of them.
And battingl Cy expects to pile
up a better average than the year he
signed up with Ptolemy II.

We regret to learn from the last
issue of the Inverness Chronicle tina.
Major Butler. the genial capable
and popular editor of that paper, was
so i'll during part of last week
Tat he almost felt he was at the
point of death. The major is GG
years old and for nearly a quarter
OF a century he has been identified
with Florida journalism, coming to
this State after a wide experience in
every part of the Union. No man
can make weekly paper more read
able or cover field of local news
more thoroughly or present it more
attractively than Major Butler, and
his ability in this respect, coupled
with his magnetic personality, gem
erous heart, unaffected simplicity of
character and rare sense of humor
and gift Of narrative have made him
cne of the established favorites of
the Florida press. We hope to hear
OF his early and complete restorat ion
to health and trust that for many
years to come we may continue to
recognize the pleasant individual
style which he puts into everything
he writes.
