Raised from modest means to
overwhelming wealth by a few
scratches of a pen, the 37-year-old
brunette, who came to New York
IA years ago seeking fame as a
ballet dancer and appeared in
three Broadway hits. added that
she also would like to indulge her
tastes for art and travel.
PLANS INDEFINITE
But she was still too overcome
by the wealth she has received to
speak definitely of her plans.
Miss Weyant received an out
right gift of 100000 and a one
third share of the residuary estate,
estimated up to seventy million
dollars, left by Colonel Rupert.
This means she will share the
ownership of the New York Yam
KEGS with Ruppert's two nieces,
Mrs. Joseph Holleran and Mrs. ].
Basil Mcguire, both of Green
wich, Conn.
WON'T RUN YANKEES
The residuary estate includes
the sportsman's brewing interests
and real estate holdings.
Miss Weyant, as did the nieces,
disclaimed any interest in operat-
ing the New York baseball team.
All three will leave that to the
masculine board of command.
In a few days Miss Weyant will
get the outright gift of $30O,00O-
a sum which seemed to awe her
more than all the millions in
volved. She said she was still
surprised and frightened" by it
all.
Miss Weyant, who appeared on
the stage under the name Of Win
thrope Wayne and has been a
member of the Chorus Equity
since 1929, now is one of the
wealthiest women in the United
States.
Il never suspected" she said,
that Colonel Rupert intended
to make me one of his heirs. I
visited him the day he died,
just after he saw Babe Ruth.
Even then he never mentioned
the will to me.
Il feel honored by the bequest.
Colonel Rupert had known me
and my family since was a lit
tie girl. He had always been one
of our closest friends.

made it clear today that she will
take no part in management Of

Mrs. Holleran said of Miss Helen
Weyant. another beneficiary under
the will:
She was a friend of uncle's.
1met her once at dinner party.
But my uncle never discussed
his personal affairs with us, so
we really knew little about her"
In contrast to Miss Weyant,
Mrs. Holleran, wife of a bank exc
cutive, was not surprised by the
news OF her fortune. She de-
clared:
I'VE knew, of course, that our
uncle had named us in his will.
And we knew, too, that owner
ship Of the ball team would pass
to us. But don't forget, it's being
held in trust. Well let the
executors and trustees manage

Elmer F. Andrews. Wage and

what he called New Federalism ="

Of interdependent problems by a

Speaking at the session at the

5 WOMEN NOW
IN CONTROL OF
BIG BALL CLUBS
Mrs. MuIvey, Owner Of
Dodgers, Real Fan
BY WALTER KIERNAN


NEW YORK, Jan. 81 G.N.S).
The glamour age Of baseball, the
national pastime. opened as Of
today when the ladies on the
owners benches Of the Pittsburgh
Pirates and the Brooklyn Dodg.
ers. moved over to make room
for the new owners Of the New
York Yankees.
A three-way division of the
Yankees under the terms Of the
will of Col. Jacob Rupert gives
ownership of the team to Mrs.
Joseph Holleran, of Greenwich,
Conn; Mrs. ]. B. Mcguire, Of
Greenwich. and Miss Helen Win
thrope Weyant, Of New York.
That entities the ladies to sit
In the exclusive company Of fe-
male owners which up until now
has included only Mrs. James A.
Mulvey, of Brooklyn. and Mrs.
Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburgh.
MRS. MULvEY A REAL FAN
Mrs. Mulvey came to her part
ownership of the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers through the death of Judge
McKeever, her uncle who shared
owners profits and baseball fans
headaches as a Brooklyn sup
porter.
Unlike Mrs. Holleran Of the
Yankee triplicate ownership, Mrs.
Mulvey Is a baseball fan-a Brook
lyn Dodger baseball fan which is
the ultimate power to which fan
dom can be raised by science,
trade, purchase or good wishes.
Mrs. Holleran admits and con-
fesses that baseball is all Greek
to me-"
SHE KNOWS BASEBALL, TOO
Baseball isn't Greek to Mrs.
Drefyuss though. When shrewd
old Barney travelled around to
baseball meetings, Mrs. Drefyuss
went along and she couldn't but
absorb a working knowledge of the
game and the fine art of assem-
bling a team and putting it on a
big league field.
When Barney died suddenly in
February of 1882, he left his hold
ings in the Pittsburgh Pirates to
Mrs. Dreyfuss and she became
chairman of the board on Feb
ruary 10.
She outdates Mrs. Mulvey in
the baseball field by several years
and has a more direct contact
with her team. Mrs. Mulvey's
business contact is through her
husband, who sits in as vice presi
dent of the Dodgers owner-corpo-
ration.
Mrs. Mcguire, who gets one of
the thirds of the Yankees, can
take baseball or leave it alone, but
Miss Weyant is a genuine fan. For
one thing. she is sister of Rex
Weyant, who is assistant Secre-
tary of the Yanks and for another
she frequently attended games as
guest of Colonel Rupert.

BACHELOR GIRL
HE|RESS never
HAD ROMANCE

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan. 81
Q.N.SO "A jolly bachelor girl"
more interested in a career than
in sweethearts.
That was the impression left
today among Springfield rela-
tives and girlhood acquaintances
by Miss Helen Winthrope Weyant,
the cinderella girl" who was
one of the principal heirs to the
fortune of Col. Jacob Rupert.
Vivacious and witty, Helen al
way enjoyed a large circle Of
friends during the days when she
went to school in Springfield and
studied dancing in preparation for
a Broadway career. Yet so con-
Scientiously did she concentrate
on her dancing career, friends re-
call, that she never had Spring
field sweetheart.
TALENTED STUDENT
Helen was an apt pupil, accord
ing to Mrs. Alice McKernon, at
whose dance studio she received
her terpsichorean training, as did
Eleanor Powell, of film fame.
Helen's last days in Springfield
were spent at the studio perfect
ing her dance technique prior to
a plunge into the theatrical world
at the age of 18.
That was in 1920 and a career
in Broadway musical shows and
the Civic Repertory Theater fol
lowed, leading eventually to a
friendship with Colonel Rupert.
KEPT IN TOUCH WITH HOME
Helen has never severed con-
tact with Springfield friends and
relatives. She has returned here
at least once a year to visit her
sister, Mrs. Edward Foster; her
cousin, Mrs. Edward T. Slough
ton; her aunt, Mrs. Gertrude
Weyant, and her uncle, Edward
Mccarthy, stage manager of a
Springfield theater.
In addition Miss Weyant has
a sister, Mrs. Edward Donald, OF
Troy, N. Y, wife of a professor
at Rensselaer, Polytechnical 1nsti
tute.
More than generation ago the
Weyant family was prominent IN
Springfield's business life. Hel
grandfather and later her father
and his brothers operated a brick
yard in the Forest Park section
