Willie Kamm, Bib Falk and Har-
old MeCurdys now with the Chicago
Whike Sox. will become members Of
the New York Yankees Immediately
after the 1927 world series, accord
ing to wel1.grounded rumors fitting
around the American League.
/ To land these three players
. from the Chicago club the
/ Yankees will turn over seven
players. Among them will be
Bob Meusel. Pat Collins. Mike
Gazella. Myles Thomas and one
other unnamed member Of the
present Yankee outfit. In addi.
ti0n two players now In the
minors will be turned over TO
the White Sex. One Of these
il thought to be Gene Robert &
son. bought yesterday from st.
Paul for $4,000.
Efforts have been made to keep
this gigantic deal secret. Miller
Higgins fearing that publicity
might injure the morale of his
Yankees lust as they face a pos
sible slump in their mad dash for
the pennant 1t will very likely be
denied by the New Workers for the
same reason.
Falk has lost interest in. Chicago
and is expected to take on a new
lease Of life with the Yankees. The.
same goes for Bob Meusel, who is
said to be quite willing to play
with some other team where his
great work might give him a
chance to. bask in. the limelight now
directed upon Ruth and Gehrig.
The principal object Of the
trade, from Chicago angle, Is
to acquire infieIdeFs and
pitcher or two. Peckinpaugh
and Ward are considered done
this year and will not be with
the team In 1928. Willie Kalnm
goes into the deal to obtain the
needed infielders and pitchers
from the Yankees.
Otherwise the Falk-Meusel and
McCurdy.Ce Collins parts Of the deal
might be called even.
Tie Yankees are in. sore need Of
a capable thirdsacker. That ex-
plains their Willingness to extend
themselves to land him. Falk has
always glistened against the
Yankees and Is expected to show
more pep than Meusel. McCurdy is
younger and faster than Collins
and, though a lighter sticker, is de.
sired for his speed and enthusiasm.

We have all read that there were.
from one to five centuries ago, some
portrait painters who attained such
excellence they have been largely the
inspiration Of all true artists WHO have
followed them. Occasionally we visit
an art gallery in some large city, tar

three to half a dozen hairs. Imagine
my surprise when | found in this won

Bonaparte, painted by the noted artist
Moureilly, who so loved the great
leader, that he went with him into
exile. Another, yet more wonderful.
in fact one of the greatest to be found
anywhere, is IA miniature of Bona
parties sister Paulina, by Vige lie
Brun. You may remember that this
young lady was physically beautiful,
but emotionally so unstable, that Ma
pOleon had more trouble disposing of
her than he did in getting rid of his
lovely wife Josephine.
There is also here a miniature of n
girl, by Reynolds, Il worthy monument
of his skill. But TO one who has read
of the family of DE Medicis. the beauty
and fearful cruelty of both Catherine
and her sister, it is n real experience
to look at master picture of the lat

face that relate the story as plainly
as can the pages of histor%.
