CY YOUNG IN HOTEL LEAGUE

Old-Time Major League Twlrler Now Pitching for Amusement of Resorters in Michigan Town. Denton T. Young can’t quit After his late lamented engagement with the Federal league it was supposed he wouldn’t show up again, but now the news comes that the once "grand old man” is pitching for a team at Benton Harbor, Mich., that exhibits for the amusement of resorters. Young, who was without a peer during his long service as a major league pitcher, was born in Gilmore, 0., on March 29, 1867. Young's career was nothing short of wonderful for a pitcher. He served 22 years in the game, beginning in 1890 with the Cleveland club after a short season with the Canton club. During his career he played with the Cleveland Nationals, St. Louis Nationals, Boston Americans, Cleveland Americans and Boston Nationals, ending with the last-named club in the spring of 1912. "Uncle Cy,” as he was familiarly known, made many records and . gained some wonderful achievements. He pitched four no-hit games, one against the Athletics, in which not a man reached first base. In 1904 Cy twirled 45 innings straight without being scored on. He also played with three chantpion teams and one world’s champion team. On July 18, 1910, pitching for Cleveland against Washington, Young won his five-hundredth victory in the major leagues. Young's habits

throughout his long baseball career have been absolutely above reproach, and he stands out ds one of the few popular ball players who have been true to themselves and the principles they adopted when they took up the game as a profession.
