BILL CARRIGAN

"William Carrigan, the efficient worker behind the bat for the Boston Red Sox, like many other fine players, is an ex-member of the Holy Cross college team. The Boston Americans, for whom he caught a few games in 1906, let him go to Toronto in 1907, and he batted .319 and stood well among the other Eastern League catchers. In 1908 he was the substitute catcher for the Red Sox and has since worked in most of their games."

ED CICOTTE

"Edward V. Cicotte, one of the most dependable pitchers on the staff of the Boston Americans, had several years of experience in the minors before his purchase by that team, some of his best work having been done for the Des Moines team, for whom he won 18 games out of 27 in 1906. In 1907 his good record with the Lincoln club of the Western League caused him to be taken up by the Red Sox."

CLYDE ENGLE

"Clyde Engle, whom the Boston Americans got from the New York Highlanders in May 1910, came to the latter team in 1909 from Newark of the Eastern League. With Newark he had played in the outfield and at second and third, and in New York he played left field for the season of 1909. The Highlanders had so much outfield material in 1910 that they let him go to Boston, where Lord's suspension and departure gave him a chance to cover third, which is expected to be his regular position in 1911."

ED KARGER

"Edward Karger, the successful southpaw of the Boston American League team, is a native of Texas and made his entry into the professional game with the Houstons, for whom he won 24 games and lost 8 in 1905. The Pirates drafted him for the season of 1906 but traded him to the St. Louis Nationals, who in turn transferred him to the Boston Red Sox.

In 1910 his work for them was very creditable. He won 11 games and lost 7, a percentage of .611. His batting was especially good for a pitcher, averaging .294 for the season."

RED KLEINOW

"Red Kleinow, the veteran catcher whom the Boston Americans got from the New York Highlanders late in May 1910, was let go because the husky Ed Sweeney was at that time apparently going to catch nearly all the games for the Yankees. In Boston, the case was different, Carrigan having no efficient substitute until Kleinow arrived. During the balance of the season Jack caught many good games for the Red Sox. Soon after joining the Bostons, he slammed out four hits in four times up in one game against Detroit."

TRIS SPEAKER

"Tris Speaker, the Boston Americans' hard-hitting outfielder, came from Texas, where he batted .318 for the Houston club in 1907. For the 1908 season, the Boston club sent him to Little Rock, where he batted .350.

Recalled to Boston in 1909, he made 165 hits that year for a total of 242 bases, and in 1910 hit safely 183 times, for 252 bases.

He is fast on his feet, both in the field and when base-running."

JAKE STAHL

"Jake Stahl, who announced early in 1911 that he had decided to quit baseball for more prosaic work in a bank, became known as a good player when in college. His first professional work was for the Boston Americans in 1903. In 1904, 1905 and 1906 he played with the Washingtons, and in 1908, after a brief term with the Highlanders, returned to his first team, the Red Sox.

His work at first and at bat has been an element of great strength. In 1910, he made 144 hits, including 19 doubles, six triples and 10 home runs."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

HEINIE WAGNER

"Charley Wagner, captain and shortstop of the Red Sox, came up to Boston from Newark in 1907. The Newark management had carried him for several years as a utility infielder when in 1906, an accident to the regular shortstop gave him a chance to show his ability, and in sequence he graduated into the majors.

His work in the field and at bat has won him a secure place in the Boston lineup."
