Jim FARLEY MOST
PROBABLE BUYER
OF RUPERT CLUB
"Deal Will Take Some
Time," Executives Say;
Price $4,OOO,0OO

New York, July 18.-(UP)-The
New York Yankees baseball empire
was definitely for sale today but
when, where and at what price the
deal would be consummated had yet
ito be decided.
A mass of rumors, reports and
definite" statements for the past
several weeks have had the extern
sive aYnkee interests, fostered by
the late Col. Jacob Rupert, as: y
Definitely not for sale; 2)-On
the market to the highest bidder;
0-Signed, sealed and practically
delivered to Postmaster General
James A. Farley.
The three executors of the Rup-
pert eState-H. Garrison Silleck, Jr,
George Rupert, Col. Ruppert'S
brother, and Attorney Byron Clark,
Jr.-had apparently agreed upon
only one detail at this stage of the
proceedings-that the purchaser
most likely to succeed to ownership
Of the Yankees would be Farley.
Sale Price
Silleck has gone on record with
confirmation Of the sale to Farley
for reported sum of 100000 of
which $1,500000 would be cash and
the remainder 10-year mortgage.
No papers have been signed and
Farley does not "even hold an OPP
tion," Silleck said, and it will take
almost two months for the legal de-
tails to be handled before Farley
will officially take over the club.
George Rupert, interviewed at
the Henry ArmStrong-Lew jenkins
fight at the Polo Grounds last night,
said: "The club is absolutely not
sold. Negotiations have proceeded
no further than they were two weeks
ago. Mr.. Farley is very much in
tereSted, but whether he can fulfill
our terms, I do not know. At any
rate, it will take a long time to
complete any deal. I will be very
sorry to see the club go-if it does
CO."
Clark commented: 1.-THE situation,
as far as I know is unchanged.
Negotiations with Mr.. Farley, of
course, have been and are being
carried along. All conditions haven't
been agreed upon yet and perhaps
will not be approved by the pur-
chaser. Whatever happens, it Ger
tainly will take some time"
The deal would not only include
the Yankees but also seven minor
league farm teams. A tentative
value placed upon the RUPERT base
ball properties was fixed by attor-
neys for the estate at $2,4O0,0 900 in
surrogate's court, June Z.

maker in the Balkan crisis while bombers subjected the British Isles to a new ordeal by a fire of salvos of incendiary and also time-fused gasoline bombs.
 Hitler received Italy Foreign Min ister Count Ciano and presumably dictated his desires for maintenance of status quo in southeast Europe in the newly threatened war between Rumania and Hungary.
 Count Ciano, following the con- ference, left by plane for Vienna accompanied by Germany's Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop for a four hour barley tomorrow with Balkan representatives The barley is to be aimed at settling Hungary's claim to the rich Rumanian province of Pennsylvania.
 HitIer's Move
 Hitler previously expressed a stern wish to keep the flames of the main European conflict from spreading in the so-called Balkan Powderkeg" for two reasons-to insurance un- interrupted flow of vital oil and food supplies from Rumania and Hun gary to Germany, so as to battle against Great Britain, and to pre- vent diverting of troops in taking sides in the back door conflict in southeast Europe.
 Meanwhile mixed Russian and Rumanian commissions are investi- gating the border clashes in which hundreds of Rumanian and Red Army soldiers are reported to have been slain.
 Russian Planes Shot Down
 The Rumanian government con- firms reports. previously denied by Russia that a Soviet plane on a reconnaissance flight had been shot down over Rumanian territory, but said the Russian pursuit plane fired on the Rumanian plane. At the same time another aerial clash is reported in which six Rumanian fighters are reported to have shot down two Russian planes
 Dispatches from Bucharest today said Rumania planned to meet Hun gary's demand for the return of the World War lost Pennsylvania, which formed a part of the old Austro- Hungary empire, offering to cede 10000 miles of the province to Hun gary provided Hungary agrees to complete exchange of populations.

British Long Range Bomb CTS Reported 10 Have
 Appeared al Night
(By ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Reports released in Rome this morning disclosed that another British aerial attack by immense long range bombers apparently fly ing from England to Italy, had ta- ken place on several undisclosed Italian coastal towns during the night.
 The raid apparently was small and of no consequence, no report being issued by the British Minis try of Information and only a short report coming from Rome.
 It is thought that the British bombers, accompanied by fast fight CT planes, winged over Switzerland on the way to Italy, in spite of re- peated protests from the little Swiss nation.

 GREAT BRITAIN UNDER CONTROL
Roundup Made of Fifth CoIumnists- Work of
 Secret Service

LONDON, Aug. 28.-Britain be- lieves that she has the fifth col umnists well under control Up to three months ago they were a dan gerous threat to the security of the British Isles. The government, how ever, is not being lulled into a false sense of safety and a vast number of undercover agents are constantly at work to halt the dis rupted espionage agents from re- organizing
 The story of the secret service will probably never be told but here are two examples that have been made public.
 British confidential diplomatic reports were finding their way to Berlin. These reports are sent to embassies in friendly countries in a code which friendly nations all have the key. It was discovered that an embassy in friendly nation was relaying the information to the Reich. The guilty men have been captured.
 In another case a clever method of directing planes to military ob- jectives was discovered in time A row of houses in a certain village were reroofed shortly after war hrOke OlIt bv A SO-called Nether- lands concern. When the job was finished it presented a picture from the air of a gigantic red arrow pointing to the objective.
