AnybOdy's Race

Boston may prove a disappointment. and
many critics and fans are inclined tu be-
lleve that the worlds champions will be
extremely lucky to finish in the first di-
vision. This opinion may be due 10 the
fact that Bill Carrigan, the hustling man
ager, has decided TO quit the game Car
rigan is considering an offer from the new
owners of the Red SOX, but II is not likely
that he will return.
The Red Sox have wonderful pitching
staff. but Carrigans excellent judgment Ia
handling the men had lot to do with the
results obtained, and il Is possible that the
same men may not go so well under a new
leader II BOstOn's pitchers do not hold
their pace or the rest of the team should
go back a trIfie, the worlds champions will
surely be eliminated, as the White Sox
should be more consistent, while New York
is not likely to be so badly crippled, as was
the case throughout the 1915 season
In the National League the Giants are a
top-heavy fayoTite with many critics be-
cause of tn wonderful material MeGraw
has gathered and the long run of CON
secutive victories last fall Rival man
ayers appreciate the strength of McGraw's s
aIl-star cast but they contend that the
Giants cannot win the pennant or play
consistent ball over long stretch unless
the pitching stan is strengthened
II really looks as II the New York
boosters are taking too much for granted.
AS powerful as the Giants are there are
a few other teams in the old league are
certain to be in the race. This includes
