1000 KIDS KNOW CY YOUNG
Give HurIinq immortal Their Biggest Cheer
Nv EDGAR HAYES

The 1000 kids at the baseball
clinic were marching out of Briggs
Stadium about noon Saturday
when Hal Newhouser walked to
the mound with an elderly gentle
man. The kids stopped to watch.
The face and figure of the elderly
gentleman didn't mean a thing to
them. Not a single one OF them
had been born when that gentle
man was In his prime.
More than 30 years had passed
since his name appeared In a
ma jor league box score. That's a
long time and people forget. Some
one suggested the genueman's
name be announced over the loud
speaker, but one of the younger
ball players remarked:
'Naw, his name means moth

But the young ball player was
wrong. Charlie Forsythe, director
OF high school sports for the state.
took the microphone and an

"The gentleman pitching Is Cy

the game at all.
Tho greatest player Of them
all was Ty Cobb. Others had

The game will wind up the

Western Reserve has a good club
and no less authority for the
statement is Bill Edwards, coach
OF the Detroit Lions. Edwards
took Western Reserve to the Sun
Bowl two years ago and the team
bowed only to unbeaten Western
State, 60, last season.
Detroit's prospects for next fall
can be summed up briefly. The
team is well fortified at quarter,

though he looks excellent he finds
il better not to try too much.
Just TO refresh your memory
here are a few salient facts about
Cy. He won 511 games in major
league baseball. He pitched from
1890 to 1911. He started with
Cleveland, then in the National
League. His first full year he won
81. losing 20. In 1892 he won SO
games and lost IL, his best year.
He was a hard worker, usually
appearing in from 40 to 55 games.
He played with Boston in the
American League and then Cleve-
land in the same loop, finishing up
with the Boston Braves. He won
20 or more games is times, and
five times was over 30. He pitched
one perfect game and three other
no-hit contests. No wonder the
kids have heard Of Cy Young.

mako him bite on q bad ball.
Hans Wagner and others could
hit had pitches, but Cobb never
went for one unless IL was
good" Cy told his listeners.
How about Bob Teller? Cy
should have the right answer for
that one as he has seen the best
of them down the long. long years.
Bob is q great pitcher. He
doesn't have the advantages the
old-timers had, but he rates
with Christy Mathewson, Walter
johnson and Grover Cleveland
Alexander. I saw him work In
Cleveland and he has all the
stuff necessary"
What about an all-time team

many Of the players TO give them
their proper place. I don't like
to pick on averages alone"
