When IL was announced that the
Old Roman had paid the san Fran

100000 for third baseman, Willie
Kamm, some press agent lnclna-

However, when John Farrell sec

sages then turned their doubts to a
question of the old mans sanity.
No sooner had the smoke cleared
from this than the White SoX boss
announced that he had paid the

"Suby" Mack, a young pitcher.
Because Mack was cons dered only
a fair pitcher, many of the western
fans gave the SoX the laugh and
said they had been SJung, but the
scouts on the coast predict that he
is a fine prospect.
Mack's nickname Of "Stubby" is a
misnomer, as he is six feet tall and
weighs lS5 pounds. He started base

Sarah KnoX's Life
In Penitentiary
An Adept Seamstress But Hides Her
Face From Gaze of Casual
Visitors

Richmond. Aug. 17.-Hiding her
face from the prying gaze of visitors
is the favorite pastime of Sarah Eu-
genia Knox, former trained nurse, of
Baltimore, doing a 20-year term in
the Virginia Denitentiary for the bru-
tai murder of Mrs. Margaret Eastlake
wife of Roger d. EaStlake, petty naval
officer. from Philadelphia, according to
the prison keepers. Whenever visitors
are shown through the prison, Miss
Knox buries her face in her hands,
the keepers say, and refuses to let
them get even u peep at her features.
BY this trick. she frequently centers
attention upon her when she might
otherwise have been passed unnoticed.
