RUPERT TO BUY
 HUSTON1S SHARE OF YANKEE CLUB.
Ward and MeuseI For Collins and Kerr, Reported
 Trade

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-Develop- ments connected with the major league baseball sessions today cen tered prominently around the affairs of the New York Yankees, American league champions
 <Col. Jacob Ruppert's formal an7 nouncement that he expected within a week to acquire sole ownership ot the club bv purchasing. for re- ported consideration of $f.500000 the half interest of Col. T. l., Huston. was followed by authoritative reports that the Yankees had closed deal with the White SoX to trade Aaron Ward, Bob Meusel and a pitcher to the westerners for Eddie Collins, vet eran second sacked, and Dick Kerr, seuthpaw pitcher, It was said that official announcement of the trade which has been rumored in diamond circles for some time, would be made at tomorrow's opening session Of American league clubowners.
 The only possibility of hitch in the deal as now outlined, centers around Kerr, who failed to report to the White Sox last sprins and must secure reinstatement from Commits sioner Landis before being permitted to play in major league ranks again. Ward played second base and Meusel in the outfield for the Yankees last season.
 Ruppert to Purchase
 Colonel Ruppert's announcement as to the ownership of the club followed his partners statement last night that he was negotiating for the sale of his interests in order to take a rest"
 Legal details are all that remain in the way of completing the deal" said Colonel Rnppert. We have unless something unforeseen de- velops, l expect to be sole owner of the Yankees within 2 weeks time.s
 Colonel Ruppert denied that there was any ground for reports that he and Colonel Huston had not agreed on club policies, including the reten- tion of Manager Miller Huggins. He said there were no differences or question of any major importance to the club.
 Club Worth S3,0Oc,000
 Colonel Ruppert would reveal no details of the financial agreement made with his partner. but didn't [ deny that the club, including the new Yankee stadium, possesses value III the neighborhood of S3.000, GOO. lie added that several weeks ago on of fer for the purchase of either col onel Illusions half interest or the entire club was made by Edward F. Simms. we'll known Kentucky turt man. This offer was understood to involve figure of $3,000,000 for the combined interests.
 Despite Colonel Illusions an nounced desire to retire from base ball. reports persisted that he might obtain an interest in the Boston American League club. Throughout the day, he avoided interyiewers and refused to add to the statement he issued last night. As national com mander-iu-chi of the Veterans of Foreign wars, it was pointed out that minus his baseball responsibilities he would be able to devote larger at tention to the former soldiers in- terests.
