LIBRARY BUILDING STARTED

The Library Building which Mrs. Dermont has been working so hard to secure for the Town of Williams, is now under process of construc- ton. The foundation is now prac- tically complete and the corner stone will probably be laid Saturday with appropriate ceremonies. The structure is to be a beautiful one and one that will be credit to the town. It will be located on the lots just north of the Reading Room.
 The News has the promise of fuller details of the building for publication at later date and will take pleasure in giving them at that time.
 Buy cook book and help build the library.

CARRICAN Warns
AGAINST BRAVES
FOR COMING SEASON

Lewiston, Jan. civilian Carrigan,
the manager of the Red Sox and re-
ferred to as the "blushing bridegroom
by a Boston newspaper came out Of
his seclusion Monday night long
enough to call at the headquarters Of
the club.
Carrigan told the newspaper men
that he would devote the rest Of his
stay in Boston to discussing the pre-:
liminary plans for the season, and help
to put things into condition for the
start of the season.
Discussing the Boston Braves and
their showing Carrigan said:
The Mackmen seemed to lack their
usual snap and failed to show any of
the great form they displayed in the
American League race. The Braves
put up a great fighting game. while
the Quakers seemed to lack the punch
that they were usually able to produ &c
against the Red Sox; but at that we
found no trouble in taking games from
the Mackmen last September, and our
boys could plainly see they had shot
their bolt and would be up against it
if they are pushed.
1T looked to me as il the whole Mack
machine had stopped working smooth
". and Connie Mack seemed to realize
this fact and showed it in his face
~ don't think it will be we'll to under
rate the Athletics this season. They
have lost none of their strength outside
of Eddie Collins, who is certainly
grand ball player. Mack will pick up
some clever young fellow for Collins
place. and the other players will work
harder than ever. With fine string of
young and ambitious pitchers, the Red
Sox will always have a wholesome re-
spect for the Mackmen."
Manager Carrigan said that he looks
for trouble next year from the Chicago
White Sox, for the addition of Eddie
Collins will do wonders for that team,
and enthusiasm will count with that
Chicago outfit. He is also figuring on
the New York Highlanders showing
new life after their two years of in
and-out work, and this will be good
thing for the game in New York.
Carrigan believes that the American
Leagus will have close and interesting
race next season, and was pleased to
know that Walter johnson would be
back with Washington.
