ea Fifty-one years and •a few days ago,
on 14Lay 5, 1904, there was pitched the
first perfect game in the history of the
American Baseball League. We recall
this fact because the pitcher who threw
this no -hit, no -man -to -reach first recent-
ly celebrated 'his 88th birthday, and is
still hale and hearty beyond the average And earlier this
month he was celebrated in a day named in his honor at the
Boston iced Sox baseball park.
The man is Cy (Denton True) Young. In the first world's
baseball series, he won two games from the National League
champion Pittsburgh Pirates. A mighty all-time figure in the
diamond game. - -
What a heroic figure he was in that series. He stood in
the pitcher's box like Alax defying the lightning, hurling
Jovien bolts at the Pirates that included the -fabulous Flying
Dutchman, Bonus Wagner. John McGraw, the little Napoleon
of the Giants, had tagged Wagner the greatest player of all
time. But it didn't make any difference to Cy Young whether
it was Wagner or anybody else, He blew the ball right by
them all.
A year later, he pitched the first perfect game in the
American League. Ilis victims were the Philadelphia Ath-
letics. Not one of the A's reached first base. Rube Waddell,
greatest southpaw in the game at the time, was his opponent.
Even at the age of 44 when the most durable pitchers
have been retired for a decade, he was still hurling for Boston
Nationals. It was only fitting that. Cy Young was named in
the first group elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame at Coopers-
town, N.Y.
The great Cy wasn't alone in his iron-manfeats, for the
baseball of his .era produced some unbelievably durable
moundsmen. In 1904 carne the amazing performance of an-
other world's series pitching hero, Bill Dinneen, who during
that campaign pitched one of the longest stretches in baseball
history without being relieved -337 innings. This included
37 complete games, and almost covered the season's duration.
Dinneen, too, hurled for the Red Sox. And in the same
era, there was the immortal Christy Matthewson, who won
three games of a five -game world series test against the Ath-
letics, in 1905. Ile pitched a shut -out in each game, allowed
a total of only 13 safe hits in the three,
They really bred 'em tough and durable in those half-
forgotten days. And none tougher than Cy Young.

House -fly Decides
Biniaral s Title
For many men sports fame has
paid off in glory and rich re-
wards, but for others the road
to greatness has led only to
bitterness and despair, defeat
and death.
Washington Hall in Rochester,
New York, was jammed to the
rafters on the night of Septem-
ber 7, 1865. A chattering, ex- •
*citing crowd anxiously awaited
the beginning of the billiard
match that was to decide the
championship of the world as
pandemonium reigned outside '
the hall -where thousands were •
storming the already ,locked
doors. The match was to be be-
tween Louis Fox and John Decry,
and the meeting was the second
between the two men. A year
before, the two men had met
but their championship match
had ended in a tie, the only
championship tie on record.
Now, again, they were to meet
to decide the undisputed 'champ-
ionship of the world. And the
stake was $40,000!
Both men were wizards with
the cue. The crowd sat and
watched with strange fascina-
tion, hushed to a frozen silence.
Louis Fox was at the table. Be
nursed the balls, maneuvered
them into position. He passed
the hundred mark, then two
hundred, three hundred. His
billiard cue was touched with
magic. Deery battled grimly,
but Louis Fox seemed to have
complete mastery df the match.
He had taken a commanding
lead, and a championship and
a fortune dangled at the tip of
his billiard cue. -
The match • was practically
ever. It was late at night and the
room was filled with smoke, the
air heavy with tension. Only one
easy shot remained for Louis
Fox to win. The crowd, as one
man, leaned forward in hushed
expectancy. Fox, with a swag-
ger, "walked around the table
studying the position of the balls
More he made the final play
to end the contest. Idly he twist-
ed his flowing mustache. Deery
stood gloomily off in a corner,
looking like a man executed.
In the frozen stillness of the
hall, there was suddenly heard
the droning buzz of a fly's wings.
And out of the haze of tobacco
smoke a fly appeared, circled
the table, and landed squarely
on top of the cue ball.
Louts Fox smiled, lay down
his stick, and, with his hand,
shooed the fly away. Again he
si,hted the ivories and prepared
to shoot.
The fly circled over the table,
and again landed squarely on
the billiard ball. A nervous
lau';h rose from some spectator,
and a titter ran through the au-
dience. But champion Louis Fox,
unruffled, again put down his
cue, and shooed the fly away
with his hand. The tittering died
away. Louis Fox took up his cue
and bent over the table.
The fly described an arc above
Fox's head, swooped and again
settled on the cue ball. A sudden
roar of pent-up laughter swept
through the excited crowd. Soon
the walls reverberated with the
deafening roars and high-pitch-
ed cackles of laughter.
For a second, the calm and
confident Fox lost his usual
aplomb. With a muttered curse,
he stabbed out at the fly with
his billiard stick. Accidentally
he grazed the cue ball, The ball
aimlessly rolled a few inches
over the green cloth. And the
fly vanished.
But Fox had lost his chance
for he had miscued by touching
the ball, And it was Deery's turn
to shoot now. Fox staggered
back from the table add stood
against the wall like a man of
stone. His opponent stepped up
to the table. He made shot after
shot, playing surely and quickly.
DON'T BE A SILLY GOOSE -- That's the advice of Patsy, the
duckling, who takes her pedestrian safety cue from Betty Ann
Goble. There's no vacation from the constant alertness you must
practice when crossing the street. Be like Betty Ann and Patsy
-- cross only WITH 'THE LIGHT and AT CROSSWALKS.
And with a remarkable run, he
went on to win the champion-
ship. The crowd howled with
joy as the match ended.
Louis Fox looked blankly at
the outstretched hand of the
new champion. He could barely
hear the words of the latter over
the din of the crowd. Decry was
saying, "Tough luck, old man,
tough luck!"
Fox nodded absently, turned
about, and like a man in a
dream put on his„high silk hat
and long opera cape and walked
out into the street. People and
carriages swirled around him
but Fax saw nothing but a fly
circling around his head, heard
nothing but the drone of its
wings and the low bubbling
laughter of a great crowd.
He walked and walked, faster
and faster through the dark
streets to escape the sounds that
filled his ears. But the laughter
welled up like a Niagara roar-
ing in his brain. And he did not
stop until he came to a bridge.
Below him, the waters were
swirling and foaming. Fox
stopped and looked down, Even
the waters were roaring with
laughter, roaring with laughter
at him. Louder and louder, near-
er and nearer. And through it
all, still the busy drone of an
ordinary fly.
At dawn the next day, a police
boat found a high hat and a
black opera cloak floating in the
river. Not far away, they found
the body of a man, a man with
a flowing black mustache.
A fly had decided the billiard
championship of the world. And
also had decided the life of the
man who lost it, -
PLAIN NORSE SENSE..
By P. IBOE;) VON PII,US
The nature of co-operative
business is determined by a set
of seven principles formulated
by the pioneers of Rochdale. The
first three of these principles are
fundamental. The other four are
less important, yet if they are
not observed cooperative busi-
ness generally suffers.
The first three principles con-
stitute the basic difference be-
tween profit business- and coop-
erative business. We must fully
grasp them to understand what
cooperatioe can really do for men
and society.
Democratic Control
The first is the principle -of
democratic control: one man one
vote. Regardless of how many
shares a man owns in a cooper-
ative business, he has no more
say in the running of the con-
cern: than the man with one
share. This is a distinct jolt to
minds accustomed to business as
we have known it, "After all,”
they reason, "the man who puts
in the most money, should have
the most say."
In government business, how-
ever, which after all, is the big-
gest and most important business
of the country, the vote of the
rich man does not count for any
more, and is no better than the
vote of the poorest man who has
the franchise.
This condition- is taken for
granted today,although it was

France, the trailer accommodates two.
quite startling to the big land-
owners of earlier days. We have
long accepted the conclusion that
this is the only way to run a
democratic society.
The Rochdale pioneers have
taught us that it is also the
right way to run our economic
society. Thus is the first prin-
ciple most important, for it cuts
elf the possibility of any design-
ing group ever getting a hold
upon the economic lives of the
people.
Bien Above Money
The second fundamental prin-
ciple is a fixed rate of interest
on money invested in the busi-
ness. This, too, appears to be a
very simple principle. Yet it has
a deep philosophical significance;
it strikes at the very rootsofec-
onomic practices, It differenti-
ates cooperation from all known
economic procedures. It puts
wages to men above wages to
money and machines. It puts
human personalities above any
materialistic consideration.
The usual form of profit busi-
ness is the joint stock company.
If a group of men invest an am-
ount of money in such a company
and make large profits on their
investment, this profit is divided
among them according to thq
money they have invested. " If
the company is a success, its
shares will rise in value, perhaps
many times its original value.
The foundation is thus laid for
speculation and the way is
opened for inflation of capital
or watered stock. It is one of the
reasons for the depressions and
booms in the financial world.
In a cooperative business this
cannot happen and a man can-
not buy his way into power. Co-
operation permits no such easy
way of getting control Of a
nation's weath,' The value of Its
stock always remains the same;
the shareholder will get the cur-
rent rate of interest and nothing
more. In this way stability in the
field of business is established
and maintained.
Patronage Dividends
• The question of how to divide
any surplus of earnings in a co-
operative business is answered
by the third principle. When
the operating expenses are paid
and legitimate reserves are at
aside, the earnings of the busi-
ness arerefunded to -the mem-
bers on the basis of their patron--
age. This is the most important
of all the principles. It sets 00- •
operation apart from all other
forms of business. It le the last
word in justice.
