CY Young's Opening Day No Hitter

Cy Young(1-0) thrilled the fans at Huntington Ave Grnds as he crafted a no-hit
masterpiece against the Washington Senators.  The Boston Red Sox won by a
final score of 1 to 0.
 
Young gave the home town fans an afternoon that they'll never forget.  He
walked 2 Washington batters.  What a day for the fans.  They were on the edge
of their seats from the 7th inning on.  With every out, the electricity in
the air mounted.  Boston managed 7 hits in their victory.  
 
Charlie Smith(0-1) was hit with the loss.  He pitched 8 innings giving up 7
hits and 3 walks. 'I gave it everything I had. It's probably the greatest day
of my life,' Young said. 'I was out there focusing on my catcher's glove,
that's all. I just concentrated on pitching my game.'
