Local Fandon1 EntIluses

NEW YORK fandom is bubbng over with enthus-
Never before at this dull stage of the
sporting has much baseball talk been heard
And all because Of the gigantic deal engineered with
Boston by Colonel Jacob Rupert, president of the
Yankees and Miller Higgins the manager.
Since they came into baseball Coonels Rupert and
Huston have been most generous in support of the
who conducted the destiny Of their club the playing
field They spent avishly but alas not always too
wisely 1t purely because of poor advice to men
not in close touch with the situation.
New York is far too rich baseball territory to
waste in the experimental processes of developing
stars. McGraw grasped the idea years ago. His stars
he goes out and snatches ready made The result has
been double the number of National League pennants
in the last ten years that fell any rival club The
scheme while costly has returned rich harvest on
Giant investments
The new Yankee regime promises much. Already
in Outfeder Duffy Lewis and Pitchers Dutch Leonard
and Ernie Shore three great stars and three fine gate
attractions have been added to the New York Amer
cans.
That others will follow before the opening of the
surety if money possesses its reputed mystic
charm. Colonel Ruppert's heart is set a pennant
and worlds championship. The colonel generally
what he desires.
