Charles A. 8tonehant, John Mo Oraw and Judge Francis X. Mc Quade did New York a tremendous favor when they kicked the paying colonels, Jacob Ruppert and Tllllng hast l'Hommldeau Huston out of the Polo Grounds in the fall of 1931, gave them a year to find an other lot for the Yankees. The colonels were paying 10 per cent rental up to slOO.000, and were perfectly satisfied, but the New York National league moguls were mad. Cols. Ruppert and Huston, who never did get along, had brought in General Manager Ed Barrow from the Red Sox in the autumn of 1930 to back up the mite manager. Miller Huggins. A young fellow named Babe Ruth and others had also come along from the Bosox, and the Yankees were stealing the Giants' (tuff. So Cols. Ruppert and Huston were forced to buy the 10-acre plot across the Harlem river from William Waldorf Astor for $650,000. and for t3.SO0.000 more build the monument that made the American league top kick in the big town. Outside of football and the more Important fights, much has hap- 1 in oar in in -1 r PJ ft 1' ii'iami ftn -sawa r pened at Yankee Stadium in a quar ter of a century from Huggins to Bucky Harris, Ruth to Joe DlMag gio. The Yankees completed a run of three consecutive pennants as they moved into the matchless edifice in the Bronx and have copped 13 more since. They have bagged 15 pen nants and IS world championships in 37 years, which par for the Joe DlMaggJo . . never a dull mom eat,. course, and then some. Messrs. Stoneham. McGraw and McQuade saw what was coming, but the Giants might just as well have had all that rent. The Highlanders, as they were known at the outset, were born in a spirit of conviviality, when two men sat with Byron Bancroft John son at the old Criterion hotel in New York in January, 1903. They were contractor Frank Farrell and Police Commissioner Bill Devery. Baltimore had dropped out of the new American Irague. and President Ban Johnson sold the New Yorkers the franchise for exactly $18000. Cols. Huston and Ruppert paid S350.000 (or the Yankees In Decem ber. 1914. and the American Iraitue gave Farrell and Devery $100,000 more. Del K Webb. Daniel R. Topping and Larry MacPhull bouitlit the Yankee empire from the Kupperl heirs in the winter of I94& for the comparative bargain biisement price of $2,850,000. The Yankees borrowed $1,600,000 the other day or Improve ments at the Stadium and In the chain and to pay olf MiicPliall, who in two years parlayed a rather small Investment Into clone to $3,000,000.

The Highlanders, now the Yan kees, moved to the Polo Grounds In 1013. but didn't get going In a big way until a half diisen years after the paving colonels took over by which time Ruth and the rest had been brought from the Red Sox. Cols. Ruppert and Huston squab bled all the while. Col. Huston didn't like Htigglus. claimed that Col. Ruppert limned him manager In the winter or inn. while he was In France. . Col. Huston wanted Uncle Wl. bel t Hoblnson. so Col. Ruppert pur chased his share of the club the year the stadium was dedicated. Col. Ruppert. the brewer, and Col Huston, the contractor, had never met when one of the yeast Flelsch manna brought them together In tlie baseball deal. They did not hit It off well, but were men of action, and It remained for the paying colonels to put the American league across In New York.

Jack Brewer pitched his second win of the season and had a shut out with two down In the ninth, only to have It spoiled by Tod Davis' two-run homer. The outstanding pitching per formance was contributed by Red Lynn, Los Angeles veteran right hander. He held Oakland to one hit. Brooks Holder's double, and blanked them, 1 to 0. Only three Oaks got on base as Lynn continued aa complete mastery. Mickey Bur nett, Angel second sacker, doubled in the sixth to score two runs and oUnch the victory. Portland advanced to second place In the standings by trimming Ban Diego. 4 to 3. but had to stave off a ninth-inning rally that saw the Padres score twice. Harvey Storey and Fenton Mole blasted home runs for the Beavers. Dick Barrett scored his 300th pitching victory in the coast league as Seattle went 11 innings to nose out Sacramento, 4 to 3. Lou Novik off's home run in the first inning was good for three Seattle runs, but Jack Salveson pitched brilliantly the rest of the way.

INFIELD SET Bill Reese will return to his first base job. training camp stones say. Little Len Tran has looked sharp at third while newcomer Dirk Brlikey. who has played second, third and short equally well, will likely play the latter. Bud HJelmna could get the utility slot.
