"Cy" Young. The St. Louis Republic has the following follow-ing to sav regarding old "Cy Young": "A bail year for Young and he would be in oblivion, and that is the chance the Boston club took. Tho same may be said of the Cleveland club, but they aro taking the chance for a closo $12,500, as well as two pitchers, Chech and "Jack" Ryan. "That even ono boliovcs that the Cleveland club has tho best of the deal is apparent. 'Jimmy McAlecr of the Browns, who had an engagement with John I. Taylor for 10 o'clock this morning morn-ing to discuss tho subject, will surely testify to that. "lio declared that ho would pay just twice as much as Cleveland had, and he did not know the price. ' El' the Cleveland Cleve-land club paid $20,000 for Young we would .havo paid Boston $10,000 for him,' wns McAloor's opinion. Ask tho Cloveland club what they will sell 'Cy' for and thev will come right back that lie is not on tho market or say $50,-000."
