He was born in Lewiston, Me,
thirty-three years ago. OF a family Of
modest means, and was selected for
a clerical vocation. II was impressed
upon him that to succeed in this life

himself TO be dragged daily to school.

And this school changed the vocation
of "Bill's" after life, for it was there
he first became imbued with a love
for baseball.
Carrigan early exhibited a skill in
the popular sport ard was selected as
catcher of the high school team IN his
first year. He played four years OF
the Lewiston high school nine and
then acquiesced in the desire of his par
ents to attend Holy Cross college.
While at Holy Cross Carrigan made his
impression on the big league scouts
and especially those of the Red Sox.
who in 1906 prevailed upon Carrigan to
give up all other thoughts of after
life for the padded mitt, bat and ball.
He played his first professional ball
in the autumn of 1906 with the Red
Sox, but, being inexperienced. was
sent to Toronto the following year.
He was recalled by the Red Sox in
1908 and was substitute catcher for
that year. In 1909 Lou Criger, the vet
eran, was released and Carrigan be-
came the regular catcher for the Red
Sox, playing that position in the
worlds series against the Giants in
1912.
He now enjoys the happy distinc-
ton of being the only playing mana
ger in the American league.

league in 1900 and became the prop
erty of the Boston Nationals in 1901.
He was traded to the Chicago Nation
ais in 1905 and in 1910 he was traded
to Philadelphia. He was appointed
manager of the team this spring after
Charlie Doom had been deposed.
Importance of Alexander.
The next man of Importance on the
Philadelphia team after Moran is Gro
yer Cleveland Alexander, the ''Nebras-
ka Wonder" His record this year is
far ahead of that of any other pitcher
in the National league. He has been
a prime factor in keeping the team on
top. During the recent Philadelphia
st. Louis series Umpire Bill KLEIN, in
speaking Of Alexander, said:
There's one player in our league
who could win the pennant for any of
the seven teams who are out of first
place. He is Grover Cleveland Alex
ander. 1t is the first time since | have
been in the league that one player
stands out in front of all of his rivals.
1t would not be proper for me to give
my opinion on the race or to pick my
favorite for the pennant, but I'll say
this: If Alexander had been with the
Cardinals since the start of the season
st. Louis would have won the pennant.
Higgins lacked just such a pitcher.
When team has pitcher like Alex
ander it shows confidence. I've seen
the Phils slip several times this
summer; Alexander would go to the
hill, pitch a shut-out game, and the
Quakers would be back on their stride.
Give the Reds Alexander and think
Herzog would have won the pennant.
The same for the Cubs and other
clubs"
Alexander was born at st. Paul.
Neb., on February 20, 1887. His first
professional engagement was with the
Galesburg (Ill) team in the Illinois
Michigan league in 1909. He was
drafted by the indianapolis team of
the American association in 1910 and
was turned over to the Syracuse club
of the New York State league without

speed on the bases. His speciality is
in making home runs, and he stands
in class OF his own in this regard.
All season long he has been swinging
his wagon tongue with deadly effect,
and his long-distance drives have
meant runs. Cravath has won many
a game for the Phillies this year by
his terrific hitting and takes rank
alongside OF Alexander as the man
who put the Quakertown team on the
baseball map.

has been sensational and his batting
timely. His playing has surpassed
anything he showed with the Giants|
and, in fact, has been Of more value
than Hans Lobert, for whom he, Beals
Becker and Lobert were traded.
The work of Shortstop David Ban

PHILLIES WIN OUT
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
Much Credit Due to Manager
Moran and Pitcher Alexander.
Tall-end Team, Not Given Chance at
Beginning of Season, Captures Pen
nant-Praise for cravath,
Luderus and Others.
(By CHARLES H. CRowELL)

(By CHARLES H. CROwELLA)
To Pat Moran and Grover Cleveland
Alexander belong the honor of landing
the National league pennant this year
for the Philadelphia team, to Moran
for his gameness and rare judgment in
crucial situations and to Alexander for
the cunning he has displayed with his
right whip.
Moran's methods are the kind that
win. He took hold of tail-end team
at the beginning of the season and by
tact and courage landed winner in
MS first year as a manager. He is
known as stern man on the field, and
when he has anything to say to a
player he does not indulge in any
wheedling nonsense. He does not ride
his men; neither does he pet them.
There is no manager in baseball more
serious-minded than Patrick John Mo-
ran. Moran knows as much about in
side baseball as any man living. He
seldom, if ever. plays lunches, or
guesses that certain play is the right
one. His study and observation OF
what to him is a serious business has
taught him what he firmly believes the
right thing to do IN each situation that
arises in the course of a game. On
several occasions he has yanked twirl-
ers when it seemed foolhardy to do so,
and at other times he has allowed
pitchers to remain in the box when ii
seemed certain that the opposition
would hit him all over the lot.
Put in Pinch Htters.
He has put in pinch hitters when It
seemed foolish to the fans. and he
has sent supposedly weak hitters to
bat in regular turn when it seemed
foolhardy to do so. No manager in
modern baseball has handled a team
with such delicate judgment as Mo
ran has handled the Phillies. And the
Phillies have won.
No enc ever suspected Moran of
having managerial ability. He secuted
sometimes. but as a general thing he
tried to educate young pitchers. He
has proved himself even more deserv-
ing OF the title of Miracle Man" than
George Stallings, because it was his
first job as a manager. while Stallings
is q man of experience.
Moran was born February 7, 1875,
at Fitchburg, Mass. He was signed
by the Lyons club OF the New York
state league in 1897. He played with
ne Montreal club OF the Eastern

CBy CHARLES Fl. CROWFLL)
After as pretty a struggle as the
most enthusiastic baseball fan could
possibly wish for. the Boston Red Sox
anally won the American league cham
pionship for 1915. Up to almost the
last game II was anybody's race. but
few games separating the leader and
lailender.
To Bin Carrigan belongs the credit.
His earnest. aggressive and at times
Quarrelsome methods were of vast inn
portance In the long grind. The Red
Sox got away to a poor start owing
TO sickness and injury, and it was not
until the season was well advanced
that the players got together, assumed
the lead and once out in front they
chung on tenaciously.
When Jake Stahl was deposed as
manager Of the Red Sox the place was
given TO Carrgan, and since that day
Bill has been making good in every
sense Of the word. He is an exacting
leader. He finds out what a player
can do and then insists on that man
doing his full duty. A sluggard has
no business on that team. Carrigan
has compelled his stars to work as
hard as the recruits. He is a strict
disciplinarian and win brook no in
reference with his methods.
Kept Players on Toes.
Starting the season with as classy

desire. an outtield that could Tot be

Carrigan has not had to worry a great
deal about his pitchers. Babe"
Ruth, George Foster and Ernest Shore,
Vean Gregg and Mays, have all done
mighty well, not only in the box, but
also at bat. Ruth has a batting av-

the rare individuals who does well ev-
