the lineup tonight at the annual George
town-George Washington basketball
game. the Hilltoppers are picked to land

formances and despite the fact that the

George Washington has been coming
strong in the past three weeks Coach

CARR|GAN'S RETURN
P[EASES HUB FANS
SEEKING PENNANT

BOSTON. Jan. 26.-with Bill Car
rigan thinking about returning to
manage the Red Sox. Hub fans are
beginning to look forward - a pen
nant. They believe that the Lewiston
banker can deliver the goods better
than any other man whose name has
been meuti med as Jack Barry-s pos
sible successor.
Carrigan has told friends that he
might be back in the game next
year" Harry Frazee is perfectly
willing to make a handsome offer to
Bill and allow him fun run OF the
team. something Joe Lannin did not
do. Lsnnin was too much of a fan.
much after the fashion Of President
Taylor. and was always making sug-
gestions to his manager and inteTfer-
ing with him Lannin meant well.
but he bothered Carrigan not a little
and this had much to do with Car
rigan's decision to retire.
II Carrigsn comes back 10 lead the
Red Sox. he will probably join the
bench managers. He has seen his
best days in uniform. and the joys
of training have palled on him. With
hve backstops on his club. there will
be no need for him to work in the
hot sun.
Boston fans are delighted with the
suggestion OF Carrigan's return to,
the game. for he is immensely popu-
lar with the rooterB.
