SPEAKER MAY GO BACK ID BOSTON
Veteran 0athdd9 Sought by
 Rcd SoI md Giants

New York. Jan. s1 N-BaSeball tides which shifted tho new derelict Iris Speaker to various major league ports appeared in a position today to carry Spoke" back to his first love on the Fenways of Boston. Coincident with the news of the veteran outfielder's release from the Senators were the reports that Speaker was being sought by the Red Sox and Giants.
 The Boston setting would bring Iris back to the club where he made his start to fame on the big circuit and with Bill Carrigan at the helm he would be under the orders of his old boss during the pennant days of 1915.
 If Carrigan should acquire Speak CT to assist the fence busting Ken Williams in providing inspiration for his promising band of youngsters. there is little doubt that the combi- nation would supply menace of substantial proportions to the other American league clubs.
 Speaker has a great following in Boston. And 1t is an American league club as well that might en- tice him. On several occasions, he has been sought by the National mo- guls but in his shiftings his alle- glance has been with the junior or ganization.
 He was purchased from the Hous- ton club of the Texas league by the Red Sox for S400 in 1907. He played only seven games in that season and in 1908 he began with Little Rock of the Southern association. The current swept him back to Bos- ton. however. late in that campaign. the Red Sox paying $500 for his re- purchase.
 By 1909. he had become a regu- lar outtielder for the Red Stockings and forthwith started his climb to fame as one of the greatest players in the majors
 Speaker took part in two cham pionships with the Red Sox. in 1912 and 1915. On April l2. 1916. he was traded to the Cleveland Indians for Thomas and Jones and 8 cash con- sideration said to be $55,000. His de- parture from Boston brought con- siderable protest from the fans but in spite of his loss. Carrigan went out that same year and annexed an- other pennant for the Hub.
 In 1919. Speaker replaced Lee Fohl as pilot of the Indians and in the following year he brought Cleve- land the American league pennant and 8 worlds championship. Speak CT resigned as manager of Cleveland after 1928. and from there the tide swept him to the Senators.
 While the fortunes of the Red Sox have been mirages since 1918. with Carrigan again leading the march, and g. possibility of bringing Spoke" back home revives an old time spirit.
 The Red Sox have fared poorly in recent years, but at the same time there is one record which promises to stand the big league barrage for at least q couple of campaigns. The Red Sox have won five world cham pionships in modern baseball. Speak CT was on the championship team of 1919 plotted by J. Garland stahl, and on the 1915 club managed by Carrigan. The latter also won the blue ribbon in 1916. while Ed Bar row. the present business manager of the Yankees. was manager of the pennant winning nine of 1918. Jim my Collins led the Red Sox of 1903 to the worlds championship.
