One of the biggest surprises that have been sprang in baseball In a long time, and it was. Just as the old saying goes, like a thunderclap ont of a clear sky, came when it was learned that the Boston Americans bad traded tbelr famous pitcher, Cy Toting, to the Cleveland for Pitchers Chech and Ryan and a cash consideration. Young pitched about as well as ever for the Bostons last year, and had he been given better support be would hare bad almost as large a percentage of games won as any twlrler In the country.

There Is not a man on the Hub team now who played when they won the world's championship in 1903. When Lou Criger, the other part of the famous battery, was traded to the St. Louis last December it was believed that Young would soon follow.

Incuded in the menu are the following: Fruit salad, chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits, peas, celery, sweet pickles olives, buns, coffee, cake, ice cream and mints.

A certain prominent and excellent I lawyer of Chicago, but one of the quietest and most nrcbtrusire of men, steals around noiselessly, with his hands meekly clasped on his breast and a seraphic and perpetual smile. A bonmot at bis expense is told the late Emory Storrs, a brilliant advocate and an exquisite wit.

He went to the lawyer's office and inquired for him, bnt was informed that he was out. "Oh, no; he isn't," he replied. "I know that he is in." "But I assure you, Mr. Storrs. he is not in." "Now," responded Mr.

This stamps the elderly youth as one of the most remarkable athletes iu history. He is over forty years of age, yet is regarded as one of the best pitchers In the country today, none barred. Young is more feared thau anv pitch er in the American league, with the exception, possibly, of Ed Walsh of the White Sox.

And the strangest thing about it all is that Young uses few curves. He has lots of speed, but relies principally on his wonderful control. Every batter In the American league, with such exceptions as the youngsters whom he has never pitched against, has been sized up by "Old Cy," and he knows just what they don't like. Then be goes ahead and feeds this kind of balls to them. He has little preliminary motion before delivering the ball, thus conserving his strength, it is probably due to the few curves that he employs that he has been able to stick to the game as long as he has.

Three no ult no ruu games have been pitched by "Old Cy" since he has been in the big leagues. In Philadelphia on V.M, while twirling for Boston the veteran did not allow a bntter to reach first base. It is impossible to say how many more years "Old Cy" will stick to baseball. He is apparently as valuable as ever, or more so, and shows no signs of letting up. Youug will undoubtedly strengthen the Xaps' twirling department, and the veteran should add greatly to his long record the coming season.

One thing is curtain "Old Cy" will be assured of good support by his team mates. SCOTS' S0CKER TEAM COMING Heart of Midlothian Eleven to Tour This Country.
