BENTON COUNTY BOY TO GIVE UP PASTIME.

Fred Williams, better known as “Cy” in the base ball world, has decided to give up the game and retire to his Wisconsin ranch, where he says he is making more money than he knows what to do with. Cy has been in the big show for seven years, spending the greater part of that time with the Cubs, where his long distance whacks were the feature throughout the circuit. Later the tall outfielder was sent to the Phillies where he has been playing only average ball. Cy is sincere in his retirement stuff and Jack Coombs is going to have to look around for someone to take the Benton hoy's place.
