A verse by George S. Applegarth from Pittsburg lauds Cy Young as the Grand Old Man of baseball. The poem reflects on his enduring vigor, storied career, and the joy he inspired in fans, even as news of his retirement emerges.
Veteran pitcher Cy Young severed ties with the Boston National club at his request. He expressed he may never return while manager Kling and treasurer Gaffney watched, tears in his eyes as he promised to come back if his arm recovers. He begins spring training at Hot Springs then Augusta in good condition but arm faltered in Athens. Young owns a Peoli farm with a banked sum and leased mineral rights to Standard Oil for gas and oil exploration while remaining on the property.
Denton Tecumseh Young known as Uncle Cy or Old Cy was born March 22 1867 in Gilmore Ohio and starred as a major league pitcher from 1890 joining the Cleveland Nationals later moving to St Louis and Boston where he played until 1909. He threw three no hit games and earned fame for a 20 inning victory in 1905 while embodying a rugged outdoor life on his Paoli Ohio farm.
In New York on May 23 the Laird of Skibo said goodbye to a Carnegie servant who served 23 years. The gala event took place in the Fifth Avenue mansion’s servants’ hall with the Carnegie family taking part.
At Skibo Castle Miss Maggie Anderson, head house maid, is thanked for years of service with a public pension of 500 dollars yearly and a round trip to Edinburgh. The Carnegie household held a farewell with music and dancing as Maggie prepared to visit her brother in San Francisco.
