Is Bill CarriGan. famed leader of the
Boston Red Sox. sincere in his avowed
determination to retire from base BALI
That question is now uppermost in the
thought of every suprorte: of the Boston
American League team in particular. and
base ball fans the country over in gen.
eral
During the summer Carrigan stated
that the season of 1916 was his last
At the close, after his club had won
the American League pennant and then
added the worlds championship. he re
iterated his intention to quit in
farewell talk to the players. prior TO
the disbanding of the team.
l have no doubt that Il lot of people
are not taking the retirement of Car
rigan seriously. In a way it IS hard to
figure how a manager who has twice
won the world championship in sue
cession could contemplate getting out
of the game. y great many managers
retire, resign or quit. as II may be,
when things are breaking badly. but
Carrigan stands out as one manager
who voluntarily gets out when his star
is shining brightest.
Undoubtedly a lot of fans regard Car
rigan's announcement a mere bluff,

him as sincere at the present time, but
believe that when the spring rolls

go strong that it will completely erase
ali the intentions of the winter
Eleven years of close personal contact
on the ball field with Bill Carrigan
leads me to believe that he was abso-
lutely sincere when he announced his
retirement What is more, l would be
willing to gamble that Carrigan quits.
Carrigan is a brainy leader: he never
Jumps at conclusions He reaches de-
cision on any matter only after careful
thought.
In my experience l have never seen
or heard of Carrigan not sticking 10
his word. Once he makes up his MIND
1t is mighty difficult to change his
opinion His players can testify to
that 1t is my Honest conviction that
base ball has lost Bill Carrigan- If
such be the case, the American League
has lost most resourceful leader,
while base ball in general loses ster-
ling character, a manager VINO was
decided credit to the game.
Carrigan Is Great Leader.
For the results attained Bill Carrl-
gan has received less credit than per-

Courage Is Great Asset.

As d catcher Carrigan was perhaps as
little appreciated as a manager. There
was nothing snowy about his style. and his
arm was the weakest of all the receivers
in the league, yet managers, players and
umpireS in the American League hold the
highest regard for the Boston manager
as a backstop. Connie Mack once re-
marked that Bill Carrigan. if only able
to roll the ball to second base would have
to be ranked as a star. because of his
many other assets.
II ALWAYS struck me that no greater
display of courage could be given by
Carrigan than his intention to catch. He
never picked any soft spots. either. for
usually he worked most when playing
clubs that We're well up in the race. CSu-
ally such clubs would decide to take lot
of chances on the bases, but somehow
Bill would manage to get the ball down
to second base ahead of the runner al
though he would often ask me if his arm
was still there after being forced to make
a hurried throw. Opposing players always
had a lot of fun joshing Bill when he
caught but he always took the banterlng
ood-naturedly and usually had the last
word in all controversies.
Carrigan was leader who was looking
for none the best of it, fifty-fifty split
was all he asked. With Carrigan the UNI
pire was d regular individual. He didn't
figure that all close decisions went against
him. and that the umpire was always
wrong. | often have seen Boston pitcher
ready to kick on some ruling. only to see
him suddenly change his mind when Car
rigan would say. Get in and pitch; the
ball outside.
In many a pinch have seen Carrigan
agree with the umpire rather than his
pitcher when it would have been the
easiest matter in the world for him to
have sprung alibi at the expense OF
the umpire Carrigan wasn't that kind of
a fellow Carrigan could kick, could pro-
test as strenuously as any one in the
game but whenever he did you could rest
assured that he believed he was in the
right He was honest in his convictions
at all times. Base ball can i'll afford to
lose men of the Bill Carrigan type.

BIC CHESS MATCH

ShoWaIter-J -JanoWski Meeting

GAMES AND PROBLEMS

A flash from Kentucky places the
Showalter-Ja -Janowski match in the
"doubtfur' column. In other words,
there has been a postponement. the
reason for and length of which have
not been made public. 1t is probable
that Janowski has been able to arrange
for several exhibitions in the middle
west and that Showalter has consented
to wait a week or so while the French
champion gathers in this extra coin.
Certainly it is to be hoped that the
match has not been abandoned, as such
a meeting would be of unusual interest
to chess players all over the country,
besides furnishing poor chess editors
with the scores of some master games
