What girl would not like to own
the set of shelvec shown in Fig. l, to
hang upon the wall in her room? The
shelf boards should be about three
fourths inch thick and ten inches

string the corner spools
The illustrations show how the

(By CItAltLGS ii. SfSO" ElLl1.D
After as pretty struggle as the
most enthusiastic baseball fan could
possibly wish for, the Boston Red Sox
finally won the American league cham
pionship for 1915. Up to almost the
last game it was anybody's race, but
few games separating the leader and
tailender.
To Bill Carrigan belongs the credit.
His earnest, aggressive and at times
quarrelsome methods were of vast i'm
portance in the long grind. The Red
Sox got away to poor start owing
to sickness and injury, and it was not
until the season was we'll 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 Carrigan, 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 will brook no in.
