In the addressed portion the last name of Young shows no resemblance whatsoever to Cy Young's signature. In addition had it been written and signed by someone in Young's family it should be noted that Young's name was DENTON not "Cy" which was his baseball nickname short for Cyclone , Legal documents and other personal correspondence of that era were signed "Denton" or "D.T." , Baseball related items ie autographs etc were signed "Cy". Hope this helps.
