A keen baseball mind. the courage of his convictions and d willingness at times to gamble, are three req sons why Bill Carrigan was so suc- cessful as big league manager. prior 10 his retirement
 Like all grcata leaders, Carrigan ran his ball club without any kit chen cabinet telling him how, What the second guesSers thought, meant nothing to him.
 In his college days, they called Carrigan Rough" and the name went with him to the majors Built on sturdy lines, endowed with a world of courage and a fighting spirit that didn't know defeat Rough" except when riled. i'm pressed as a meek individual who would go out of his way to avoid trouble if possible.
 Yet I recall certain instance in the Boston club house when Carri- gan lived strongly up 10 his name of rough. The umpirc's dressing room adioined that of the home club. The walls were anything but sound proof. l heard Carrigan distinctly say to one of the big stars the club had number of them:
 "You're no better than any one else on this club. When I issue an order for morning practice at 10 you are supposed to be here just like all the rest.
 T don't care how well you arc playing. The fact that you have won three or four ball games in the last week don't mean Il thing 'to me. There is going to be discipline on this ball club and I intend to enforce it at any cost"
 The conversation grew more heat cd and later l realized there was q bit of scutfling going on. Then everything became quiet. I WAS mighty curious as 10 what happened. l asked one of the players in contl- dence.
 Nothing much. Bill just grabbed one of the boys who wouldn't listen to reason and shook him up q trihc. Hell behave from now on"
 That incident thoroughly cstab- lishcd discipline on the Red Sox, Sure! Bill Carrigan can be rough but he would much prefer to be otherwise.
 Just word about Carrigan's willingness 10 gamble.
 In the 1915 world series, AlrNan- der opened for the PhiI)ics against tho Rcd SoX and won his game on a Friday 3-1. Boston eveucd the count by a 2-1 win on Saturday. No game was played Sunday.
 Alexander, with only two days rest, came back on Monday and was beaten 2-1 by "Dutch" Leonard. In a way, this game was the turning point. Now for an incident showing Carrigan's willingness 10 gamble.
 Going into the ninth with the score tie, Hooper hit safely I later learned that Scott was sent up to bunt, even though he went out on strikes. Ordinarily great buntcr he touled off the fret two pitches. Then to the consternatiun of the Philly intield, that had moved back, he laid down a perfect hunt with two strikes on him and almost beat it out.
 Carrigan wanted q run; he needed man on second. SCotl's bunt turned the trick. Then Lewis hit safely, winning the ball game. a,
 In the 1916 world series, well do I recall how Carrigan gambled his judgment with that of the umyires,
