turn from the Quaker City still leading

Asked what was the matter with the
Red SoX, Carrigan replied: I'VE are not
going good at present-severaI Of my men
are sick and the pitchers are not in Eorm
, besides we are not hitting as we will
later on.
III you remember it was not until July
last year that we came across and play
ed real baseball We are doing about as
well as I expected at this stage"

again this season." Carrigan was asked
and replied with a smile: That's tough
question to answer-see me again abou,
