Died. William Ellsworth Hoy, 99, baseball's oldest former major leaguer who between 1888 and 1902 played for the Washington Senators, Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox; of a stroke; in Cincinnati. Deafened when two years old by spinal meningitis, Hoy did not learn to speak till his wife taught him at 36, retained a lifelong preference for sign language, and in the blunt innocence of a bygone age was affectionately dubbed "Dummy" by his teammates...
