CONTRACT TO CARRIGAN
MATTER OF PROTECTION

Boston, Jan. H.-Among the regis
tered letters containing players con-
tracts that went from the Dexter Build
ing was one addressed William Carrigan,
Lewiston, Me" Though Bill has retired,
he is still on the champion reserve list,
and so long as he is sent a contract,
will remain there. Otherwise, he would
automatically become a free agent.
President Frazee was not overlook
ing anything. If the Lewiston banker
ever determines to come back to the
game, he will come back TO Boston.
With Bill foot loose and fancy free,
some of the plutocratic magnates might
be too much inclined to buy out all tho
banks in Maine to get a manager for
their ball clubs.
