1914 and he did not disappoint, pitching
grand game in his only worlds series
start.
Carrigan Is a catcher and naturally is
an artist at handing twirlers, and it is
question whether h will be able to re-
place the slipping veterans of other posi-
tions. He recently declared that he eX-
pected the Red SoE to 20 on as they were
lined up last fall for at least three more
years.
The Red SoX may continue to take the
field with that same lineup, but If they
do. the team is likely to he out of the
running after the coming season unless
Corrigan changes his mind The last
recollection Philadcphians have of the Red
Will be as good this season as they were
| SoX recalls them as a great machine, one
that proved its superiority over the Phil
lies, but IL is Il question whether Carri-
gan will have anything left after the
1916 season gets under way excepting
star staff of young twirlers, about two
star players, experience and that inde-
scribable balance
With several other teams greatly
strengthened, it looks as If the Red Sox
hurlers will have TO pitch better ball than
any staff has shown in years for Boston
to repeat in the American League. The
team went through a hard grind last sea-
son and will have a harder one this sea-
son. II does not look as If the team was
fast or aggressive enough to pull out.
When Manager Carrigau Is behind the
bat the Red SoN will lne-up this season
with seven regulars who have played nine
seasons or more and it is unreasonable to
think all will continue at the same clip.
Nine years is longer than the average
major league career, and while the Red
SoX are composed of an unusual number
of veterans, they will hardly stand the
grind.
Harry Hooper and Duffy Lewis, two
of the stars of the worlds series against
the Phllies, showed such unmistakable
signs of slowing down last summer that
even the grand work of this pair in the
baseball classic does not wipe out the
memory of the forecast of the beginning

JASPER FIVE TAKES
FALL OUT OF GREYS
League Leaders Drop Game to
Jewels and Race for Pen
nant Tightens

The Eastern League pennant race is
somewhat tightened today as result Of
Jaspers victory last night over Grey
stock, The final score was Is to s.
The Eastern League leaders received
their first reverse of the present season
at Nonpareil Hall. However, their fine
defensive play kept the Jewels field-goal
scoring down to 3, while they made 4.
Barney Sedran's fine foul-shooting more
than offset this difference, for the little
New Yorker Gagged l2 of his 16 attempts
at free throws, while Wilson and Fogarty
got between them,
The game was quite rough, especially
in the second half. Mike Wilson shot only
one foul in nine tries in the first half, and
the Jewels led at intermission. 10 to g.
In the second half Fogarty performed at
the l5-fOOt line, counting six out of eight
This made the score closer, and both
teams commenced covering hard. The
Greys appeared to be deeply touched every
time the referee called a foul on the home
team.

Plank and Lefthanders

Plank stands as an eternal knock to
the theory that all lefthanders are nuts.
The great southpaw has been one of the
steadiest and sanest of pitchers for 10
years.
In all that time he has had but one
season where his victories did not out
number his defeats. That was in 1905
Then he won II games and lost 16. "'rhe

no longer kid, you know. Thirty.three

But Plank has put away seven great

won As games and lost but IA, for an
average above $50.

Poor Recruits

There is little chance for a recruit to
break into the Red Sox lineup and few
Will be taken to the training camp. Mike
McNally, recalled from St Paul. and
Harold Janvrin will undoubtedly be the
inteld substitutes. Both are excellent
utility men and will prove invaluable to
Carrigan. If Janvrin had more spirit and
was not inclined to go to pieces when
things are breaking bad for him, he prob
ably would have little trouble taking
Gardeners job as he is a better all-around
man than the fading veteran.
For outfield substitutes Carrigan also
is well fortified The veteran Olaf Hen
ricksen, who has been sitting on the bench
for four years as a substitute to the great
Red SoX trio of Speaker Lewis and
Hooper when he could be regular on
almost any other team in either league,
will again be pinch hitter and first out
field substitute. Shorten, purchased from
Providence of the International League,
will he the other utility man.
Three veteran catchers are available,
but Manager Carrgan evidently fears
that Thomas and Cady have outlived
their usefulness in Boston and is willing
to trade either or both. Carrigan believes
that he will be able to work regularly
this season and is anxious TO get two
young catchers to develop for the future.
Eight pitchers are all Carrigan intends
to carry, unless he discovers one or two
sensational youngsters among his recruits,
and they probably will be Foster, Shore,
Mays and Wood, right-handers, and Leon
ard, Ruth, Gregg and Pennock, left
handlers Rumor has II that waivers have
been asked on Joe Wood. If this proves
true, no doubt Ray Collins, who intends
q retire anyway, will be given his un-
conditional release.

Red S OK Manager
Great Developer of
Young Players or He
Is One of Luckiest
Men in Baseball
BY CHANDLER d. RICHTER
ARTICLE ".


THERE is only one team in the two
i major leagues which is standing pat
with its 1915 lineup and whose manager
has made absolutely no attempt to pur-
chase or make a trade for a single player
That team is the Boston Red SOX, winners
of the American League pennant and
champions of the world. Despite the fact
that he has a team of veterans who are
surely not going to improve any, Carrgan
refuses to enter the field in bidding for
players
1t is only natural for a manager to have
unlimited confidence in a team which was
strong enough to win a worlds champion
ship. but baseball men doubt the wisdom
of Carrigan's policy They believe that
Carrigan should at least have picked up
one or two youngsters who were placed on
the market by the Feds, as it is certain
that several of his veterans cannot last
much longer.
CarriEan is either an excellent developer
of youngsters or has remarkable luck and
probably Is content to wait until his vet
Grams show unmistakable signs of slip
ing before going out after youngsters.
Three years ago Carrigan had a wonder
full pitching staff OF veterans who all went
to pieces about the same time. 1t was
freely predicted that it would be long
time before the Red SoX would have
staff capable of kepeing the team in the
pennant fight, but it took Carrigan only
two years to develop a wonderful staff
of youngsters.

Another Superstar

Matty isn't the only big league pitcher
packing his grip for his 16th trip to

For there Is also the case of Eddie
Plank, who has not only been in the big
league as long as Mathewson, but who is
five years older. And what Is even more
impressive, Plank is still ready to step
out and pitch winning ball
