CARRIGAN IS WELL RECEIVED

Boston Fans Pleased With New Manager, Who Is Credited With Much Baseball Knowledge. Bill Carrigan’s appointment as manager of the Red Sox was well received all over New England. He is a New Englander himself, educated at Holy Cross, lives at Lewiston, Maine, in the winter and hasn’t an enemy in

the world, so far as is known. Of course, he will have to make good as a manager like any other manager, and if he should fail, his personal popularity would not save him any more than personal popularity saved Jake Stahl from all sorts of unpleasant experiences. But Carrigan is a shrewder man than Jake and there is no gamer fellow in the world than Bill. He is credited with knowing a lot of baseball, and with being able to say /‘No” as faßt as any man in the world If he wants to. Boston 1b the most Irish city in the world, not excepting Dublin and Cork, and William Carrigan is not a Russian. He ought to “go big” as manager, and the fans believe he will.

Manager Bill Carrigan.
