Tulsa Daily World: Friday, January 18th – Announcement from Chicago that Red Faber has signed a contract to pitch for the White Sox this season, indicates that Commy’s crew will be the favorites in the race for the American League flag, though in the Boston Red Sox, they will receive the sternest opposition. There is only one cloud to mar the joy of the west side rooters. Red is within the draft age, unmarried and has no dependents, though it is said he contributes to the support of relatives. Maybe if the draft officials will read the story of the world’s series in which Faber stole third base with Buck Weaver on the sack, they will exempt him.

Leonard Peltier’s Innocence Leonard Peltier was a Native American man arrested for supposedly killing two FBI agents on Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota. There have been many debates about the integrity of the court cases and the lawfulness of Peltier’s arrest.
