They Built A Baseball Empire
Ry HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Service Sports Editor


NEW YORK = Col. Jacob
= Rupert guarded against
the sale of the New York
Yankees by seeing to it that
a trusteeship was formed.
The trusteeship has appointed a
board of control. which will in
clude the owners brother, George
Rupert; Ed G. Barrow. long bust
ness manager of the far-flung
Yankee baseball empire, and ex-
ecutors of the estate.
George Rupert knows little of
baseball. so Ed Barrow at 70 will
become an even greater figure in
the organization operations than
he has been in the past.
The Yankee baseball chain was
estimated to be worth Sl0,0o0000
when last appraised in 1888. and
has since taken on other proper
ties. the Kansas City franchise
among them.
II would have been task to
find "A buyer for such ire
mendous holdings even had
Colonel Rupert chosen to dis
pose of his interests.
Colonel Rupert frequently said
that he must have been looney TO
have invested 1925. 900 in the New
York American league franchise
in 1918. That represented half of
the purchase price. Capt. Til Hus-
ton, whom the brewer met for the
first time at dinner the night be-
fore. put up an equal amount.

RUPERT AND RUTH BUILD
GAMES GREATEST EMPIRE

THE Yankees had no park, con-
cessions. nor players.
They were at the mercy of Ma
tional league clubs as we'll as
those of their own circuit.
Four years after making what
he suspected was a foolish invest
ment. Rupert. the baseball gam
bier. spent 1925 900 q record
figure at the time for Babe
Ruth. and once more had an idea
that he was being trimmed.
BY n strange coincidence.
Babe Ruth was taken to
French hospital for observa-
ton following mild heart
attack the day that Colonel
Ruppert's condition became
critical.
Between them. they built base
balls greatest empire.
Colonel Rupert was variously
estimated to be worth anywhere
from $4,000 900 to 500 600 600.
He had vast real estae holdings in
Fifth avenue and elsewhere, in ad-
dition TO his brewery and baseball
chain.
A bedside visit with Barrow and
George Weiss. director of the Yam
kee farms well illustrates Colonel
Ruppert's keen interest in base
ball. The colonel was gravely Ill,
but insisted on talking of the game
he loved.

Ancient Jewish Coins Found Be of Historical Value

An exhibit of ancient Jewish coins
symbolic of the Maccabean period,
displayed at a Jewish theological
seminary in New York recently,
presented an interesting insight into
the customs and laws of that early
day.
The coins, struck in the two CEN
turtles preceding and following the
start of the Christian era, are of
silver, gold and copper. They are
of two Observation-Disclosures struck
by the Jews themselves and those
minted by their various Roman gov
errors.
Because Jewish law forbids the
use of craven images, there are few
portrait heads in the collection. The
most common decorative motifs are
sacred objects-the jug, the palm
branch, the citron, the holy taber-
nacle, trumpet, the Menorah and
the palm tree, the last symbol of
plenty in Palestine.
There is little of artistic merit in
the collection. Apparently the Mac
cabean coins were strictly utilitari-
an, for the Jews who coined them
wasted little time displayed at the
Jewish Theological beautiful. Many
of them have been struck over old
Roman coins, and in their haste the
Jewish craftsmen failed to oblit-

"He doesn't look like a buzzard.
He looks fat and good natured."
Moses Lafayette O'Leary took a
private swig from the bottle inside
Norwood's tent, and then put it away
in the chop-box. With his hands in
his trouser pockets for the sake of
dignity, he strobe toward the tree
beneath which Moor Nathan sat
wondering how to breach the SUBJ
ject of his meditations. He did not
appear to be wondering. His black
turban only partly concealed phi
losopher's forehead. His silver
brimmed spectacles enhanced the
mellow mildness of intelligent dark
brown eyes. His nose was deshy
and good humored. His black beard
and moustache were well cared for.
They concealed something. His
mouth was not in evidence. He arose
to greet Moses O'Leary and, judg-
ing by the movement of his beard,
he smiled, but the smile was invisi-
BILE. At close quarters it was evil
dent that his bulk was mostly fat,
not muscle. He fitted fabbily into a
bazaar-made black alpaca Euro
pean suit.
'How d'you do, Moor Mahlam."
"How do you do, sir"
Moses O'Leary Strengthened him
self slightly and drew his right hand
from his pocket. He had to live up
to being addressed as "sir" by a
man of means from the underworld
district But it stirred his alert
ness. His suspicion, and more than
that, was already wide awake. His
voice hardened a trife:
"Sit down, Moor Nathan. Hot,
isn't it? No, I'll stay on my feet.
I've business to attend to. Can't
spare you more than minute or
two"
"How did you know my name,
sir?" asked Moor Nathan in silky
accents that suggested there was
something else than silk beneath.
1t was quiet agreeable voice, I'M
less one listened to it too attentively.
Moses O'Leary smiled with the
pride of the expert who needs no
praise to justify his self-esteem:

crate the Roman Inscriptions.
The speed with which these coins
were made is demonstrated, in
some instances, by imperfect i'm
print. Some of these .imprintings
cover only half the face of the old
Roman coins. Coins of the revolu-
tionary period bear the Hebrew in
scription, ITO the freedom of Jeru-
salem," and the date, l, 2, 3, or 4,
corresponding to the year of the
revolt.
In the second group of coins
those struck by the Roman COVER
nors-much of historical value is re-
vealed. Many of the bear profile
portraits of Vespasian, Domitian or
Titus, in whose reigns they were
struck off.
Many of the coins issued by the
Roman procurators of Palestine
show Jewish influence. These
coins do not bear the Roman I'M
tials rs. c." since they were struck
without the authority of the senate
and merely at the emperor's COM
mand. This was possible, since
Palestine remained an imperial
province.
Some of the coins were embel-
ished with reproductions of mani
mate creatures instead of the reign
ing Caesar.

culous results in tree planting, and
recommended for those wishing
quick growing trees to supply ade-
quate shade. the following: Chinese
elms. mulberry, umbrella. Chinese
jujube. palo verde. and such fruit
trees as peach and apricot. One
year and eight months after these
were planted. the trees reached
the roof in height and were full
filling their desired function of
casting adequate shade. In four
years time. a really remarkable
growth was achieved. Mrs. McRae
also recommended as suitable for
planting: pecan trees. pittisporum,
nandina, or Chinese bamboo.
Proper Care
Flowers which are ideal for cut
ting purposes are Mrs. Waterman's
favorites and she discussed first
methods of soil preparation, ad-
vocating peat moss as satisfactory
mulch. Proper watering and fer
tilization after planting she de-
clared to be necessary to achieve
the lovely blossoms which are char
acteristic of her garden. Stocks
grown either from plants or seed
are perhaps Mrs. Waterman'S first
choice as they are most generous
III their blossoming but she also
likes larkspur, cosmos, petunias,
and for bulbs, ranunculae and an
emoneS.
Soil Preparation
Mrs. Waterman also advocated
the preparation of soil during the
summer months so that it will be in
readiness for fall planting and the
necessity of a good rich mulch if
satisfactory results are to be OBJ
tanned.
Mrs. c. F. Kamm of Holtville
spoke on summer preparation of
soils and gave the following list of
suggestions compiled by Miss Lena
Bridenstine for the Holtville Wom-
ans club:
Now is the time to plant your
flower seeds for winter and spring
flowers. Below is a list of hardy
ANIMALS which do not freeze, are
easy to grow, and will give you a
wealth of bloom.
Sweet peas, Calendulas. Dianthus
Cpinks), Candytuft, Poppies of all
varieties, Petunias, Phlox, Larkspur,
Stocks, Coreopsis, Snapdragons,
Sweet AlysSum (for borders), Sea-
biosa. Centaureas of all types, Afri-
can Daisy, Gaillardia, Gypsophila,
Arctotis Grandis, (African Lilac
daisy, Mignonette.
A little harder to grow, but very
satisfactory:
Pansies, Linaria, Schizanthus Co.
delta, Annual Delphinium.
If you have sheltered spot pro-
tected from frost, plant some, they
are gorgeous but will not stand
heavy frost.
If you have seed box, try some
of the hardy single asters. Plant
them in seed box in December sc
that they are ready to transplant
as soon as heavy frosts are over
They bloom the latter part of May
and on until the first of July and
are very satisfactory.
About February, plant some oi
the following for late flowers:
All varieties of marigolds. Zin-
Mas there are many new varieties
and types. Cosmos-the old fash
ioned kind and the new created
type and the new Orange Flare
which has created such a sensation
this year.
Summer Pomsettias are in theil
prime in July and August wher
most flowers are gone. Vincas ol

Hawk Chosen TO
Head Community
Committee

JaSper'S community conservation
committee Thursday night took
over the Jasper farm center meet
ing with an election of community
committee officers and with con-
seryation program.
I. c. Hawk was elected chairman
of the community committee, John
Fiala, vice chairman; Yves Ander-
son, regular member; Vernon Rood,
first alternate; Joe Armstrong, Sec
ond alternate.
Hawk and Fiala were selected as
delegate and alternate delegate to
the county committee meeting.
They will meet to select county
committee in November.
Rudolph Miller outlined the
workings of the conservation pro-
gram and Roland Ballou, secretary
of the county conservation asso-
citation reported that more than
one million dollars in payments
have been paid to valley farmers
who complied with the program in
the past three years.
Beyschlag pointed out that farm
ers as a group experience a more
basic economic training in their
business than any other class and
that they may trust themselves to
Judge the value of national econo-
mic questions, without having to
depend upon the advice of others.
