jsWlLIIAM CARRIGAN, OF THE RED SOX, DESERVING OF HIGH RATING AS A MANAG1
IN NAMING GREAT MANAGERS
WHY OVERLOOK BILL CARRIGAN,
PEPPERY LEADER OP RED SOX
r .
JDespit Loss of Speaker, Boston's Fighting Pilot
Has Kept Team in Race and Now His
Boys Are Favorites
ALAnQK majority of tho baseball fnna seem to agree that Connlo Mack mid
John Med raw aro tho irreatest manager In the game), Sotpa think Ocorgo
Ke.lllngs and Pat Moran have tha call, xvhllo tn St Louis and Brooklyn thoy swear
fey Fielder Jones and Wilbert Jtoblnson. Dut one seldom hears Bill Carrlgnn'a
Mne mentioned. But who la more deserving of praise than the fighting trader of
tfee Red SoxT
Kow many managers In the game would havo the Bed Box where Carrlgan
as them today? The Bed Sox may lose tho pennant In tho final drive, though
, chances aro against such a thing happening, hut It takes more than the loss of the
pennant to keep BUI Carrlgan'a name from being placed close to the top of the
' list of great managers.
When tho Bed Sox started on the spring training trip aa champions or the
World they were nqt considered a favorite In the American league race. It was
the unanimous opinion Of baseball men that Carrlgan'a voterana had commenced
to alow dawn and that they would not be able to stand the pace this season, with
Detroit and Chicago strengthened, even with the 1916 team Intact.
, Then came the dissension, and Speaker's hold-out, which necessitated selling
tho famous slugger and leading hitter of the league to Cleveland. Whan tho sea
son opened the Bed Sox looked like a minor league aggregation without Speaker.
The team work, which always had been a feature of tho Bed Sox play, was missing,
and ;tho whole team appeared to be on the verge of collapso when we saw them
play the Mackmen In the opening series of the season.
Boston Fans "Rode" Speakerlcss Red Sox
T3 MAKE matters worso for Carrlgan, the fans In Boston "rode" tho team be
causo they did not approve of the solo of Speaker, but Carrlgan stuck to his
task and started to smooth out the rough spots In his machine. Be knew that ho
had wonderful pitchers and went back to tho old "army game" of playing for one
run at a time, which was In contrast to the old Bed Sox system when they had
Speaker and hi punch,
Along about tho middle of Juno Carrlgan got his team working smoothly and
then directed all of his attention to tho pitching staff. Ho had flvo great pitchers
and soon rounded them into perfect condition. Ureut as were the pitchers, they
would have been spoiled by a less capable manager, but Carrlgan handled his staff
aa well as Moran did In 191 6, with the result that the largo lead enjoyed by sovernt
teams gradually was cut down.
Today the Bed Sox are further nhead of tho Tigers and White Sox than the
percentage table would lead qno to believe. Boston has lost three less games than
Petfolt, but has four mora gomes to piny. As It stands now tho Bed Sox can
afford to lose three more games than the Tigers, and with n pitching staff com
posed of Leonard, Buth, Shops, Mays and Foster we cannot seo where Currlgau's
ten,m will lose more than four of the thirteen remaining games, which menus that
the Tigers will have to win nine straight to win the pennant by u game.
Unless Detroit can take both of the remaining games from the Bed Sox its
chance for the pennant is mighty Bllm, and even If Detroit gets the next two
games tho Bed Sox will have a one-frame advantage tn the lost column, which 1h
the thing that cpunts at thj3stage. A victory adds a trifle more than two points
now, while a defeat loses flvo and one less defeat means a lot.
Weak Support BeaU Alex the Great
JOB TINKEB'S pitchers take turns shutting out the Phillies. Fortunately for the
National League champions, they dQ not group their shut-outs, but four of
Tinker's hurlers have blanked the Thlls tn Impressive stylo this .season, which
would Indicate that the pitching material Is at hand If It was properly handled.
In the Phils' first appearanco In tho West this season, little Mike Prendergast '
hut thern out;. On the second Invasion Claude Hendrlx held Moran's team score-
less, white on the last trip Jimmy Lavender held the champions to three hits and
blanked them. Yesterday big Jm Vaughn was at his best and tho Phillies were
agan shut out, and it must be admitted that the giant southpaw's work whs mqre
Impressive than that of his predecessors.
The Phillies never had a real ohnnce to win, despite the fact that Alexander
the Great was on the mound and pitched splendid ball. Only three hits wore
tnade off Vaughn and they were scattered through us many Innings, one coming
after two men had been retired. Alexander was found for a greater number of
hits, and he also pitched shut-out ball, but his support was weak,, both of tho Cub
runs being due to errors.
Bert Ntehoffs failure to touch Cy Williams on an attempted steal of second,
despUe tho fact that Klllefor's throw beat the runner by fuly 16 feet, really was
responsible for the first run. although an Inexcusable muff of an easy fly by
Cravath actually allowed the lanky outfielder to score. Klllefer's wld throw to
second to head off Jucobson on a steal, permitted the runner to reach third mid
Baler scored him with a singto for the Cubs' last tally.
v Tinker Srit Regular Tpam Into Game
IF THE Cubs had been represented by tho same aggregation of misfits, and had
played the same brand of ball displayed In the first three games of the series,
the Phils could have depended upon getting at least two or three runs on errors,
either of commission or omission; but Tinker sent his regular team into the game
and It looked like a regular team.
The Chicago cripples had a rather speedy recovery and looked like anything
but cripples yesterday. They played fast, gingery ball, showing what good pitch
ing and a little ambition will do. The defeat was a costly one for tho Phillies,
as both Brooklyn and Boston won. Tho champions are now almost two full box ""'
cores behind the Dodgers and lead the Braves by less than two points.
Looking at it from this viewpoint it was a disastrous scries, but winning
three out of four from the Cubs at any stage of the race is quite a feat and Moran
hould feel yery well satisfied. The Dodgers have six games with the Cubs and
Tinker's team will show an inclination to fight against Koblnson'3 team, which Is
inore than can be said of their work here until the final game.
The sensational work of the Braves and dlanU for the last ten days has been -the
big feature of the remarkable pennant campaign. The Braves have won
nine out of the last ten gamea played, while the Giants registered their fourteenth
consecutive victory by taking a doublpheader from the Pirates yesterday. It Is a
fortunate thing for the Phillies, Dodgers and Braves that McQraw'a team did not
etart its ppuijt Just two weeks earlier or there might be another story to tell.
Boston Scribe Says Jamea Will Pitch This Week
ED McOBATH. of the Boston Post, la authority for the statement that Bill
James's arm suddenly has rounded Into form and that tho world's series hero
c-f 1914, who has not been able to pitch since, will be sent to the mound, alternating
With Dick Budolph in the laat two weeks of the Reason. According to the story
Jnmes la now pitching morning and afternoon to Improve his control and will be
tn prime shape by the end of the week.
t It la bard to believe that James has regained the use of his famous right
whip, unless a misplaced muscle has caused all hla trpubte and'auddenly snapped
back in place, as the giant Oreeonlan could not throw a fast Will two weeks ago
when the Phils were in Boston, Even though James, In his 1914 form, would give
, Braves a great chance for the pennant, local fans are pulling for htm to come
ak, because hla sudden breakdown la one of the saddest chapters In basebalt'a
ttory.
Cy Perkins Boosts Mack Recruit
CT PKRKJN8, the young catcher from Gloucester, Mass., who waa on the spring
training trip with the Athlstlca, and who waa sent tq Atlanta for further
Molfg', has returned to the Mackmen. Perkins arrived In thla olty yesterday

JACKSON SHOULD
BE IN NATIONAL
TO ENJOY LEAD
Shoeless Joe Would Have
Been Champion Batsman
in Tener's League
OTHER COMMENT BY RICE
By GRANTLAND RICE
Joe .lucksou made a snd clerical eiror.
in place of staying In the American
I.onsuo to grapple with Speaker and Cobb,
to run a lank third, Joo should have moved
over Into tho National League, whero he
could have enjoyed a twcnty-flve-polnt lead
without exerting himself.
If Jackson had come to the National In
place of the American ha would have been
a league leader at leant six yearn, doubly
adertlsccl by success, which takes no great
stock of tho runner-up.
The Big Shift
Last year the Tigers won 100 games In
the American League and finished second.
That same margin for 1916 would toss them
out In front by a dozen games.
For thero In now only a bare chance that
two clubs In the American League will win
mote than ninety games. The club that ran
xhow nincty-ona victories by the closing
date will be close enough to a world series
to Inhale the fragrant odor of about 160,
000, split twenty-threo ways.
New I'lays You Should See
"Nine Chances," by Hughey Jennings.
"The Man Who Came Hack," by Hal
Chase.
"Ueatlng Beaters," by John J. McGraw.
"Pair and Warmer," by Chick Evans.
"The Great Shover," by Barry Le dore.
The Arc Limit
The debate, "Is golf an old man's gams
or a kid's game?" Is still raging In all Its
fury.
On the one hook we have Walter J. Travis
winning championships when he was around
fifty. k
On the other we have Hobby Jones beat
ing veteran stars at fourteen. Commodore
Bryan Beard was runner-up In the southern
Championship at sixty-two. Perry Adair
was runner-up In tho ramo championship
three years ago at fifteen. Judging frpm this
list the debate will move along until dooms
day or thereafter without being nettled, for
golf happens to be a game where age has
nothing to do with t. It Is merely a mat,
ter of so much strength plus nerve and
muscular control plus practice.
The Ideal age for golf Is between fourteen
and seventy-two. Take your pick.
In the meanwhile Yale hopes to put on
two dramatic succesnes this fall "The
Hlue Paradise" and "Turn to the Klpht."
The Repartee Again
Bald old Tad Jones to Speed Hush,
"We'll drive the Ttgtr npm the brush."
"II ur not without some busted bones,"
Bald Rpeedv Hush to Old Tad Jones.
It has been five years now since either
Va)e or Princeton beat Harvard, whereas
Cornell has only to glance backward a
brief span to recall the glory of a Crimson
defeat.
"Yale," suggested Colonel Heywood
Broun, "has abolished tackling." Whereas
three years ago after a Harvard game Yost
wanted to know when the rule was passed
against catching punts.
When we think of where the world series
probably will be we also remember that It
might have called for a Jump between Bos
ton and Ht. Louis and then cheer up.
Tho Brown Uprising
While the now esteemed Browns hardly
will attach any pennant this fall, Fielder
Jones at least has yanked St. LouIb back
upon the baseball map, and from now on
the Browns no longer will be the human
doormats of the league. Jones haa the
nucleus for a great club, and by next
spring thla team will be Hated as favorites

the Itetl and Blue candidates nre sweltering
dally In nn effort
to get Into shape
for the coming
season. All of the
regulars are on

only thing miss
ing In the picture
Is the aforesaid
Mr. Berry.
The much-talk-ot

BBBBBBBBBBSi SST SSSSSSSSSSM
football would Interfere with his strenuous
duties, our Uncle Samuel has decided to
keep him whero the weather is wnrm bo
ho can continue to salute the flag and
listen to the stirring music.
Berry Is Needed
When Berry took his life tn his own
hands and Bhouldcred a musket with other
bravo persons In our city. It was announced
that all college men would be honorably dis
charged or given a furlough on September 1.
This has not been done and scores of colle
giate soldiers are kept In camp, with no
chanco to get away.
Berry now Is the missing link In the Tenn
machine and Folwell misses him more than
lie Is willing to admit. The new coach never
has seen Howard 'Play, but hns followed
him through tho newspapers and knows he
la a first-class man. Notwithstanding his
llttlo Bpat with tho conches last year, Fol
well Is witling to take chances on Berry and
slip him in the varsity backfleld It he
ever comes back. But when will ho be
baokr That is tho question.
Penn needs n punter this year. A for
ward passer and drop kicker also are
needed, and Berry Is good for all three.
In modern football, all of the big teams
havo what is called a "combination man"
In tho backfleld. Thla man can run with
the ball, punt, throw a forward pass and
drop kick. Harvard had Italian and
Brlckley, Le Gore was Yale's star before ho
was chased last year and Princeton had
Tlbbott. Thttte men could drop back from
their regular positions and the opposing
sldo could not tell whether the next play
would be a kick, forward pass or a run. It
kept tho opposing players guessing, and
that is one of the best features of football.
Could Work Combination
With Berry In the backfleld, Penn
would ba strengthened fifty per cent- Fol
well then could work the combination sys
tem with good results. As It fa now, the
man who punts will drop back and the
opponents know that a punt will be made.
The same Is true with drop kicks and for
ward passes. Another man must bo de
veloped, and as yet no likely candidate has
made an appearance. Folwell has a hard
job on his hands.
Penn has been practicing a little over a
week now, nnd, although some good results
have been obtained, the team is far from
a big college standard. The men Bhow
that they will .develop Into good players In
the future, but how far that future Is no
one can tell. The candidates showed that
they knew little or nothing about the rudt
ments of the game, and Folwell had to be
gin at the beginning. He tautM , .
