CY YOUNG MOST WONDERFUL
PITCHER IN GAMES HISTORY
Twirler Who Won Over 500 Contests in Big
League Insists His Good Right
Arm Still Is Strong.

, get through with one-third the effort
ought to last longer. That's the theory
I worked on and my. career would make
1t appear rather a logical system.
Warns UP for Control.
"In the old days pitchers. when
warming up prior to pitching, used to
do so at random. They would hurl
! the ball to the catcher without any
definite purpose. The sole aim was
to get the muscles of the pitching
arm loosened. When I warmed up I
always had the catcher take Off his
imaginary home plate. l figured this
scheme would not only loosen up the
muscles. but help my control, for. In
stead of throwing every ball aimless-
ly to the catcher. I made an effort to
get every ball over the plate. found
1t a great help in getting the ball
over when 1 started the game. Many
pitchers used to warm up from any
old distance. They might pitch from
forty to sixty feet. I always insisted
on warming up from the regulation
pitching distance. for I figured warm
ing up from any old distance didn't
help control.
That L was right in many of my
methods now used by every major
league club. Practically all have regu-
lar places for the pitchers to do their
preliminary work. / mean. they have
the distance carefully measured to
conform to the rules. and have regu-
lar pitching rubbers and home plates
to aid pitchers in bettering their con-
troll When l speak of control / don't
want it understood that mere ability
to get the ball over the plate is my
idea of control. There are any num-
ber of pitchers who are able to keep
the ball buzzing over the heart of the
plate, but such twirlers don't always
meet with success. Usually they have
their outfielders ready for bed before
the game is over. Real control Is
ability to get the ball over that por-
ton of the plate which is generally
regarded as the hardest place for the
batSman to hit it."

Mercury Dropped From 12 to IS De-

Of course there are thermometers and thermometers but all of them were telling, in varying degrees. the story of the coldest morn : ing of the winter as we'll as one of the coldest of many winters. @
 There. were several points in the town where instruments were measur- ing off the prize minimum of the sea- son-20 degrees below zero. One of these places was at Young Brothers, yard on Mechanic street, another was at a farm in WilliamsvilIe. another in Mashentuck. At East KilIingIy it was IS below. Here in DanieIson many readings were at 15 and 16 below and dozens of glasses showed 12. below. At homes where the reading showed 10 below there was a falling of the ads vantage one experiences in spending the winter at a tropical resolt.
 Nipped fingers, ears and noses were the lot of those who had early morn ing trips to make. Operatives going going to their work in the big nanu- featuring plants felt the bitterness of the cold as they have not felt 1t be- fore for years.
 As the business hours of the day au- preached there came many calls for the services of plumbers The intense cold had played havoc. with water sys- ten1S in many buildings
