RAWLINGS ACCEPTS HIS
FATE LIKE REAL MAN

Johnny Rawlings, reduced from the
ranks of the Giant regulars by the
acquisition of Heinie Groh, has ac-
cepted his fate in a splendid spirit
quite worthy of this fine little fellow.
Speaking of the coming season the
other day in Los Angeles, he said:
"Groh will be used at third base,
and Frisch, of course, moved back to
second, which means that shall have
to sit on the bench. don't care
where play or where I sit so long as
I play or sit for John McGraw."
That McGraw appreciates Raw
llngs' value to the Giants, even
though he is not available for use as
a regular member OF the infield again,
was demonstrated when he said re-
Gently that Johnny Is the best utility
lnfieldcr he has had In many seasons.
Reserve strength always has been a
long suit with the Giant manager,
and he is pleased beyond measure at
having a player Of Rawlings caiiber
for emergency use..

Carrfgan often has threatened to re-
turn to the game he loves SO well.
Numerous attempts have been made
to lure him back to his old love. Car
rigan exhibited q stonewall defense
each time, preferring to remain in
his position as a theatrical promoter.
Carrigan ceased his connection with
theatricalss however, yesterday, which
Immediately gave birth to the rumor
that Bill was unable to Withstand
any longer the call of baseball .--
Back in 1916. after Carrigan had
won his second worlds championship
for the Red Sox, he deserted the dia-
mond game. His services were in
great demand. In fact, so important
the Red Sox that Harry Frazee Of
fered him $4,000 to sign a new con-
tract to pilot the club. ...
But Carrigan refused. And he has
often refused since. Frazee has
made numerous trips to the wilds
Of Maine, ostensibly for shooting
trips, but he always paid call on
Carrigan and renewed his efforts
TO persuade Bill to return to the
game. And each time, Carrigan
smiled and refused. ....... .-..
Not since Carrigan gave up his
berth as pilot Of the Red Sox has his
name been so freely discussed by his
townspeople as II was yesterday. And,
as a result, local friends Of Carrigan
are predicting he will return to base
ball as owner Of the Boston Red Sox.
Since quitting the Red Sox Carri-
gan has been associated with William
p. Gray, Of Lewiston, ex-Gov. John
II. Bartlett, Of New Hampshire and
ex-Mayor Albert Hyslop, Of Ports
mouth, N. H. They have conducted
the Main-New Hampshire Theaters
Company, controlling fifty vaudeville
and motion picture theaters in the two
States.
Yesterday BILLY" Gray announced
he had purchased all the holdings Of
Carrtgan in the theatrical company.
While no official statement was made
Il is though that Carrigan received be-
tween 100000 and s250.o00 for his
holdings. ..~ a.. g..
Are you planning to return to base
ball?" Carrigan was asked.
And one of those famous Carrigan
smiles was the response. &c.
'I can't discuss my planes at pres
ent," he finally said, but within
few days I may have something i'm
portant to say. , .,
"Oh, yes, still retain a great In.
terest in baseball. And you know I'll
never forget the old game"
Carrigan Is now free to act. He
has turned all his theatrical assets
into cash, and close friends predict
that he IL contemplating trip to Bos.
ton to discuss the purchase Of the Bos.
ton club from Frazee.
Whether or not Carrigan will return
to baseball as a manager rather than
owner cannot be stated. 1t is thought
that Carrigan will assume the manage
ment of big league club IL his terms
are met.
For three years Carrigan has been
away from baseball. The lure Of The
game has been tremendous, but "Smil-
ing Bin. has stuck close to business
and his efforts have been rewarded In
q financial way at least. He has made
a success OF his business enterprise,
and as there has been no explanation
for the sale of his theater holdings
the only possible ciew to his actions
Is the fact that he Is considering re-
turning to baseball.
II Carrigan returns to Boston as
owner or manager of the Red Sox base
ball fans the country over will rejoice.

3" HIS writer was perhaps the
III first in America to mention
e.. the name of Tunney as a po-
tential champion, though at the time
we must confess we did not suspect
that he would be the light heavy
weight champion.
We had in mind even higher hon.
ors. We fear now that our highest
expectations of Gene will never be
fulfilled. Nature seems to have in
terposed the. definite barrier Of
physical limitations.
We doubt that Tunney will ever
be rugged enough to compete with
tough heavyweights such as Jack
Dempsey. 1t is possible, of course,
that Gene may fill out and grow
much stronger in couple years, but
he impresses us at this time as a
man who, like Carpenter, will re-
main at about his present poundage.
OOOd Big Man Is Best.
TN his fight against Eddie O'Hare
Tunney scaled around IT'S
pounds. He says he was not
exactly in condition. Against Levin
sky he weighed a bit over 172
pounds, and this seems to be his
proper weight.
1t is also about Carpenters
weight. The theory that a good
fighter of this poundage is big
enough to lick any man in the world
was carefully developed and foster
ed in building up" Carpenter for
Dempsey, but the Manassas Man
Mauler quickly demonstrated that
the ancient fistic adage that a good
big man can always beat a good
little man still holds.
The ideal match at this time would
be a meeting between Tunney and
Carpenter for the worlds light
heavy title, generally accorded to the
Frenchman. They are about the
same size, cast in the same delicate
mold and are today the top-liners
in Fistiana of the men who fought
in the Big War.
DILLY ROCHE, old-time man.
n ager, promoter and referee,
was the first man to call our
attention to Tunney over in France.
We printed Bills views on the
boxers of the A. E. F.. at the time,
and he said he saw greater pcssibili-
ties in the Greenwich Village boy
than in any of the other soldier
fighters. Bill had seen most of them
too. ...
So favorably was william i'm
pressed by Tunney that after the
war he managed Gene for a time.
Why the alliance was not continued
we do not know. Tunney, 1t Is
said, had more advisers than one
fighter can conveniently use. Any.
way, NE split with Roche.
None the less. when Gene won
his title Friday night he gave Roche
a record Of having picked two cham
pions in few years. II was Roche
who first brought word East of
Jack Dempsey. when Jack was an
unknown in the Utah Sticks" and
IL was this writer who raised a
smile among the fancy by quoting
Bill to the effect that he had seen
