BILL cARRIeAN TO QUIT
Informs President Lannin This Would Be His Last Year in Major Base- ball.

Boston, Sept. 12-President J. J. Lannin of the Boston American League club, said today that Manag- CT William Carrigan had informed him recently that he thought this would be his last year in major league base ball. This statement by Lannin was made in view of reports from Wash ington, where the team is now play ing, that Carrigan had stated he would resign at the end of the present season.
 'I believe he will stay but of course Carrigan will do as he thinks best" President Lannin added when asked whether any formal resignation had been offered. He said he had done nothing toward the selection of a successor to Manager Carrigan, but the name of Patrick Donovan of the Buffalo Internationals and Heinie Wagner, until recently manager of the Hartford team of the Eastern League, were mentioned in this con- nection.
 While Manager Carrigan of the Boston Americans refused to confirm definitely the report from Boston to- day that he would retire from base ball at the end of this season, he indi- cated that there was strong possi- bility he would do so. His teammates said he was tired of the game and wished to go into business at Lewis ton, Maine, his home
 Carrigan went with the Red Sox in 1906 as catcher and succeeded Jake Stahl as manager three years ago.

 TO FIND LEONARD.
Merrow Club of Hartford Administers
 White Wash.

The crack Merrow Baseball team defeated the South Windham team with a nice little shut out, scoring five to nothing, on OWebetuck oval South Windham Monday afternoon Sept. f. With Dutch Leonard In the box. the South Windham boys found out he was hard one to hit. Leonard took it easy all through the game He struck out twenty-one men ana did not let any man walk. The game was not very interesting for the South Wiudham rOoters, as nothing came their way, but the rooters that the Hartford boys had along with them kept things lively.
 The game went along very nicely with the exception the losing team was grabbing most of the time. Thinking thev could get Leonard Q little ner- yors Manager Methewson found fault with the way Leonard stood in the box but he only laughed and played ball. The home team thought it pretty turf to have fair umpire
 The Morrow team lost the first game by their pitcher not showing up until afternoon Dutch Leonard was booked for the morning game and Pete Fisher for the afternoon, but as Leonard did not show up they had to use a pitcher that had pitched the day before. He pitched @ very good game but the Hartford boys made a few errors let tnGll get tuGt4 llA- <Atte1AA19 NStS 5AF en a pretty hard blow, the boys get ting twelve hits, but he had good support.
 The Hartford rooters had a good many chances to toot their horns in the first game and more so in the second game. The South Windham roosters could not make enough noise In the first game. But tho second game every one was quiet with the exception of the girls of both sides, having a little chewing match. But the Hartford girls won out.

BR|T0NS CEASE
HEAVY DRINKING

London, May Ii Correspondence
of The Associated Press)--The aston
ishing success Of the central control
board in reducing the drink evil in
England, Scotland and Wales since
the boards Inauguration in June, 1915,
is strikingly shown in the second re-
port made by its chairman, Lord
d'Abernon.
The report shows that the efforts of
the board have resulted in reduction
of the average weekly number Of con-
yictions for drunkenness in England
and Wales from 1904 in 1914 to $40
for last March, the latest month for
which figures are available. In Scot
land the average has been reduced
from 1,424 in 1914 to 1914 for March.
The figures for London, where a
"no treating order went into effect
on October II, 1915, show the weekly
average Of convictions for the metro
politan district in 1914 was 1901. This
was reduced to 1908 for the four
weeks prior to October II. and in the
succeeding month dropped to 718.
Reductions on similar scale were
shown in the great Industrial centers
Of Liverpool, Birmingham and Man.
chester
The board has been especially active
in looking after the great army of
workers who are employed in the mu.
nitions industry.
